GNOME has launched version 50, completing the shift away from X11 in the GDM display manager after a postponement from GNOME 49. The release brings refinements to the shell, display management, file handling, and accessibility tools. Other desktops like Plasma and Xfce remain unaffected for their X11 sessions.
