GNOME 50 (codename Tokyo) brings a wide range of user-facing improvements across the desktop environment. Parental controls receive a major overhaul with screen time limits, bedtime scheduling, and upcoming web filtering. Accessibility sees enhancements including a redesigned screen reader, global settings, mouse review mode, and reduced motion options. The document viewer gains modernized annotation tools for highlighting, drawing, and adding notes to PDFs. Nautilus file manager gets faster performance, reduced memory usage, and an improved batch rename feature with visual previews. The GNOME Calendar app is redesigned with better event creation, iCal export, and first-day-of-week customization. On the technical side, GNOME 50 is now fully Wayland-only with X11 code removed, fractional scaling is fully supported, remote desktop gains hardware acceleration and high DPI support, and Nvidia GPU users benefit from driver quirk fixes and improved frame timing.
