This New Tool Gives You the Chance! +====== +A new tool to enable GNOME users to provide insights on their configuration and usage to help improve the user experience. + +![Want to Help Improve GNOME? This New Tool Gives You the Chance!][1] + +GNOME has come up with a tool that lets users provide **anonymous insights** about their configurations, extensions, and GNOME-tuned settings. + +This should help GNOME learn more about user preferences and make better decisions to enhance the user experience. + +Interestingly, an intern at **Red Hat** (*Vojtech Stanek*) created this tool. + +### ℹ️ GNOME Info Collect: Ready to Install? + +![gnome info collect terminal][2] + +The tool (gnome-info-collect) is a simple terminal program that you need to download, install, and run to share the data with GNOME. + +Here's what the tool needs to collect from your GNOME system: + +* Hardware information (including manufacturer and model). +* System settings (including workspace configuration, sharing features, SSH etc.) +* GNOME shell extensions installed and enabled. +* Application information (like installed apps and favorites). +* Linux distro and version. +* Flatpak and Flathub status. +* Default browser. +* [Salted hash][3] of machine ID+username. + +You can find the package suitable for your distribution and more details on the data collected available on its [GitLab page][4]. + +For instance, if you have an **Ubuntu-based distribution**, you can install it by typing in: + +``` +sudo snap install --classic gnome-info-connect +``` + +Once installed, fire it up using the following command in the terminal: + +``` +gnome-info-collect +``` + +Next, it displays the data that it intends to share with GNOME. So, if it looks good to you, you can choose to upload the data to GNOME's servers. + +![][5] + +Considering the data remains anonymous, it should help GNOME understand what their users like, and focus on those improvements over time. + +[Download gnome-info-collect][6] + +💬 *What do you think about this new data collection tool for GNOME?
