GNOME Usage is a new app planned for the GNOME 3.26 cycle, promising to be a GNOME 3 application that can display the current resource usage of the host system where the GNOME desktop is installed. This change alone could possible affect the existing Baobab (GNOME Disk Usage) and GNOME System Monitor apps. Rui Matos will work on revamping the Display panel in GNOME Control Center, and it looks like a brand-new sharing framework developed by Debarshi Ray and initially planned for GNOME 3.24 should finally see the light of day in GNOME 3.26, making use of portals for sharing things across various social networks.
