+Want to Help Improve GNOME? 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.
