The Linux Experiment

GNOME 50 is a landmark release that drops X11 support entirely, making it a Wayland-only desktop environment. Key highlights include fractional scaling and variable refresh rate now officially supported out of experimental, significantly improved Nvidia support with frame scheduling improvements, headless remote desktop sessions with GPU rendering and high DPI support, parental controls with screen time limits and bedtime schedules, major Orca screen reader improvements, Nautilus file manager enhancements (progressive thumbnails, multi-type search, lower memory usage via the Glycin image library), PDF viewer annotation and free-draw tools, and a text size setting independent of scaling. Session save and restore backend is in place but the UI toggle is pushed to GNOME 51.

GNOME 50: a MASSIVE release that delivers what users asked for!
