GNOME 47.2 comes a month and a half after the previous version, GNOME 47.1, and includes notable improvements in several components, including GNOME Shell, Mutter, Epiphany, GNOME Software, and others. Key enhancements involve improved accessibility of the keyboard backlight toggle in the Quick Settings, addressing CPU stalls on secondary NVIDIA GPUs, and ensuring optimal GPU usage for connected monitors.
