Several core utilities have been visually refreshed, giving them a more polished and elegant experience.

For developers and advanced users, Boxes now allows editing a virtual machine’s libvirt XML directly, enabling them to change advanced settings not available in the user interface.

The complete list of features and improvements are in the release notes.

GNOME 3.38 is code-named “Orbis” in recognition of the most recent GUADEC, held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
