Thanks to GNOME 44, the top-right system menu (Quick Settings) will now display a ‘Background App<\/b>‘ sub-menu, allowing to manage applications run in background. Though, only Flatpak applications are supported so far.<\/p>\n

The “Settings” has redesigned “Mouse & Touchpad”, and “Accessibility” pages, with clean and easy to use configure options. Create Wi-Fi hotspot now displays QR code,<\/b> and Network settings page now supports for adding WirdGuard<\/b> VPN. About page is also been updated with more information such as Firmware version.<\/p>\n
