We are also providing our own installer images for debugging and testing features. These images are meant for installation in a vm and require GNOME Boxes with UEFI support. We suggest getting Boxes from Flathub. os.gnome.org
Try the latest and greatest GNOME software in a VM or on real hardware If you are interested in building applications for GNOME 44, look for the GNOME 44 Flatpak SDK, which is available in the Flathub repository.
This six-month effort wouldn’t have been possible without the whole GNOME community, made of contributors and friends from all around the world: developers, designers, documentation writers, usability and accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, students, system administrators, companies, artists, testers, the local GNOME Asia team in Malaysia, and last, but not least, our users.
GNOME would not exist without all of you. Thank you to everyone!
We hope to see some of you at GUADEC 2023 in Riga, Latvia!
Our next release, GNOME 45, is planned for September 2023. Until then, enjoy GNOME 44.
