4.1 | 5 | Many Gnome3 changed settings apply immediatly. For those claiming to require a restart or logout+login, usually restarting the shell is satisfying: {{code language="none"}}Alt-F2{{/code}}, {{code language="none"}}r{{/code}}, {{code language="none"}}Enter{{/code}}. This also seems to make some software updates count faster. |
