BrianFagioli shares a report from BetaNews: Today, GNOME 3.26 codenamed "Manchester" sees release. It is chock full of improvements, such as a much-needed refreshed settings menu, enhanced search, and color emoji! Yes, Linux users like using the silly symbols too! "System search has been improved for GNOME 3.26. Results have an updated layout which makes them easier to read and shows more items at once. Additionally, it's now possible to search for system actions, including power off, suspend, lock screen, log out, switch user and orientation lock. (Log out and switch user only appear if there's more than one user. Orientation lock is only available if the device supports automatic screen rotation.) These search features can be accessed in the usual way: click Activities and type into the search box, or simply press 'super' and start typing," says the GNOME Project. The full release notes are available here.

This thread will now be full of people with fuck all else to do with their lives who want a window manager/DE they can just tweak all day long. Meanwhile, Gnome is great for those of us who actually work on their computers. It makes it simple and quick to open/switch apps and stays out the way the rest of the time.
Seriously, guys, there's a whole world of window managers you can play with. Let's have *one* for the workers.
