The main reason for this change was that GNOME dropped support for their legacy desktop, which retained the GNOME 2.x user experience and didn't require 3D composition -- a feature that in many computers would still need non-free software to run at full speed. MATE provides a perfect drop-in replacement, it is very light and stable and it retains all the user experience design that we are used to from previous Trisquel releases.</li><li><a title="ReactOS 0.4.8 released" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reactos.org/project-news/reactos-048-released">ReactOS 0.4.8 released</a> &mdash; The ReactOS Project is pleased to announce the release of version 0.4.8 as we continue to work on releasing every three months.
