The Fedora Project has launched Fedora 20 "Heisenbug," and now it's time to take a closer look at the default desktop environment, GNOME 3.10.

Fedora has adopted the 3.10 desktop environment for this latest version, and it comes with a lot of changes and new features.

Highlights of Fedora 20 with GNOME:

• Fine grained scrolling when dragging the scroll bar handle, or scrolling while holding the shift key; • Support has been added for login and authentication with Smart Cards; • Header bars merge title bars and toolbars into a single element; • The Magnifier has been improved with caret tracking; • Lock screen background customization is now available for the users; • A new geolocation framework allows features like automatic timezone updates when traveling and location detection in Maps; • A better user interface for Contacts has been added.
