noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gnome.org\/\">GNOME<\/a> 41 is due September 22, 2021. Coming hot on the heels of GNOME 40\u2019s paradigm-shifting workflow changes, does GNOME 41 deliver anything of substance? We spin it up to see.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GNOME_41_Library_Changes\"><\/span>GNOME 41 Library Changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even as the aftershocks from the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/742539\/whats-new-in-gnome-40\/\">GNOME 40 workflow changes slowly fade away, the release date for GNOME 41 is approaching. Although GNOME 41 doesn\u2019t pack the iconoclastic punch of GNOME 40, the developers haven\u2019t rested on their laurels. GNOME 41 contains plenty of interesting improvements of its own.<\/p>\n<p>One of the more significant changes is the introduction of the <code>libadwaita<\/code> shared library. This is a GTK4 port of the <code>libhandy<\/code> library. Many of the <code>libhandy<\/code> developers are now working on <code>libadwaita<\/code>, which provides a nice continuity and ensures the <code>libhandy<\/code> team\u2019s skillset is used to further the GNOME effort.<\/p>\n<p>The <code>libadwaita<\/code> library now provides the GNOME theming engine and forms part of the <code>gnome-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>s-standard<\/code> package. The theming engine gives GNOME the ability to use themes.<\/p>\n<p>The default GTK theme is called Adwaita, but <code>libadwaita<\/code> itself is more than a theme. It\u2019s the software that enables themes to be used. Well-behaved GTK applications that follow the human interface guidelines look to <code>libadwaita<\/code> for stylesheets and other theme information, such as theme variants like high contrast versions.<\/p>\n<p>The human interface guidelines can be changed almost as soon as a decision has been made\u2014they are just a set of standards, after all\u2014and the Adwaita theme can be modified rapidly too. Because of that, the theming engine must be able to adapt quickly to accommodate those changes.<\/p>\n<p>The <code>libadwaita<\/code> initiative decouples the theming engine from the rest of GTK. This allows the engine to be reworked quickly while GTK moves at the more cautious pace that best suits its needs.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, GTK3 and <code>libhandy<\/code> applications will be ported to GTK4 and <code>libadwaita<\/code> as soon as possible\u2014if they haven\u2019t already been converted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What&#8217;s New in GNOME 40?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changes_to_GNOME_Settings\"><\/span>Changes to GNOME Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GNOME 41\u2019s internal settings have seen several changes, from power profiles to accessibility features.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power_Profiles\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Power Profiles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Power profiles appear in the system menu (also known as the status menu).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-754092\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"GNOME Status menu with power options highlighted\" width=\"309\" height=\"381\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can manually switch between the different power profiles, or let the system decide for you.

It wouldn\u2019t make an RDP connection to a Windows 10 test machine. I tried Remmina, and that application connected to the test machine perfectly well.
