The GNOME Project is proud to announce the release of GNOME 50, ‘Tokyo’.
This release brings many improvements in parental controls and accessibility,
new features in apps from Calendar to Papers, hardware acceleration for:
remote desktop, display handling improvements and, again, a slew of new
apps in GNOME Circle.
To learn more about the changes in GNOME 50 you can read the release notes:
GNOME 50 will be available shortly in many distributions, such as Fedora 44
and Ubuntu 26.04. If you want to try it today, you can look for their beta
releases, which will be available very soon:
We are also providing our own live images for debugging and testing features.
These images can be used on bare metal, or in a virtual machine with EFI
support (such as the GNOME Boxes version available on www.flathub.org).
If you are interested in building applications for GNOME 50, look for the
GNOME 50 Flatpak SDK, which is available in the www.flathub.org
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,
foundation staff, companies, artists, testers, the local GNOME Asia team in
Tokyo, 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 2026 in A Coruña, Spain!
Our next release, GNOME 51, is planned for September 2026. Until then,
enjoy GNOME 50.
