Gnome 42
March 25, 2022

One of the coolest things about Arch is the ability to use the latest versions of Linux software such as GNOME shell. GNOME 42 is amazing, it introduces built-in dark theme, and it also allows fractional scale factor to be set above 200%. I really missed the ability to set the scale factor to 250%, because that’s what required to properly size GNOME on my XPS laptop. New screenshot flow looks modern, and it’s much easier to use. I really like the direction the GNOME project is heading.
