Get things done with ease, comfort and control.
GNOME's new desktop takes elegance to a new level. We've swept away the clutter and made a simple and easy-to-use desktop, and we've made this the most beautiful GNOME desktop ever, with a new visual theme, a refined new font and carefully crafted animations.
The Activities Overview is the portal to all your computing activities. Quickly accessible using the top-left hot corner or windows key, it provides a single place to access windows, applications and even messages. The dash allows you to see which applications are currently running and the workspace switcher can be used to group windows.
Search is central to the GNOME desktop. Applications, windows, documents and even settings can all be quickly and easily searched for from one place. Accessing GNOME's desktop search is as simple as pressing the windows key and starting to type. This is a great feature for people who like things to happen fast.
The web is seamlessly integrated into GNOME 3. Our software connects your applications with your online accounts, so that you can easily access documents and contacts that you have stored on the web. Web applications are also first-class citizens in GNOME 3, and can be used like any other application that you have installed.
GNOME 3 comes with a suite of stylish applications. These allow the full range of activities you expect from a modern operating system, including browsing the web, viewing and storing documents, instant messaging and video chat, playing music, watching videos, and much more. GNOME 3 also includes a full complement of utilities, such as a file browser, calculator and text editor.
GNOME 3 incorporates a unique, built-in messaging system. Messages can be directly responded to from notification popups, and you can access your previous communications from the Messaging Tray which is always available from the bottom of the screen. This means that holding a conversation does not require repeated window switching.
