It’s time to perfect your Linux desktop! Tweak, customise and entirely replace your current Gnome or KDE environments with something better. Discover how you can get more from the most widely used Linux desktop environments, by extending and enhancing them. If that’s not enough, replace them entirely with something better or even your own desktop creation!

We Roundup the best-in-class image-editing tools, talk with the brains at the Linux Critical Infrastructure Platform, explain how to get more from the latest builds of Wine, make our Pis smarter with Google TensorFlow, create better presentations with LibreOffice Impress, switch over to Wayland, experiment with the InterPlanetary File System and loads more.
