GNOME Plans to Retire Application Menus from the GNOME 3.32 Desktop Environment

With the recent release of the GNOME 3.30 “Almera” desktop environment, which already got its first point release and hit the stable repositories of some of the major GNU/Linux distributions, GNOME 3.32 “Taipei” has now entered development and the first milestone should hit the testing channels later this week. We don’t know much about the new features and improvements coming to the GNOME 3.32 desktop environment, due for release next year on March 13, 2019, but it looks like one existing feature won’t be available anymore in this upcoming release, as developer Allan Day announced the deprecation of application menus.
