The GNOME project announced
GNOME 46 (code-named “Kathmandu”) on March 20. The release has quite a few updates and improvements
across user applications, developer tools, and under the hood. One
thing stood out while looking over this release—a major emphasis on
Flatpaks as the way to acquire and update GNOME software.
