# GNOME OS Creating "Test Center" As Its Take On Apple TestFlight For Experiment Software

**[Phoronix](https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GNOME developers are building a 'Test Center' for GNOME OS, inspired by Apple TestFlight and the old Mozilla Labs, to simplify testing experimental and development versions of applications and libraries on image-based Linux systems. Funded by Germany's Prototype Fund, the project leverages technologies like systemd-sysext and Buildstream. It is currently in the prototyping phase. The week's GNOME news also includes Glycin gaining OpenEXR image support, pixel density reading for JPEG/PNG/TIFF, and improved GLib network monitoring.
