elementary OS 8 Updates Add New Dock Features + More

The team behind elementary OS recently detailed a number of improvements to recently roll out to users of the distro. Gala, the default window manager used by the Pantheon desktop environment, is described as seeing an “absolutely massive release” fixing scores of issues and plumbing in a new Gesture Controller offering tangible improvements to the way gestures work. Precisely how? Hey: I ain’t the developer! But reading the pull request which adds the changes it sounds like the new Gesture Controller ought to deliver smoother interactions, hard to convey in words, but things like properly calculated deceleration, handling of gesture cancellation and :sys_more_orange:

elementary OS Preview Some Cool Upcoming Features

The elementary OS 8.0.1 release back in March brought an appreciable set of improvements with it, including a much-improved Files app, but as ever in development: the work never stops! Project founder, Danielle Foré, recently recapped a few smaller features that have been issued to users of the Ubuntu-based Linux distribution as software updates, including: If you run elementary OS 8.x, install your updates and eat your greens, you should be benefitting from the changes listed above (if you don’t have them, go update to get ’em).

elementary OS 8.1 Brings Bug Fixes, New Kernel + More

Didn’t get around to trying last year’s elementary OS 8.0 release? No bother as elementary OS 8.1 arrived this week, providing an opportune jumping-on point for new users. Based atop the recent Ubuntu 24.04.2 release, elementary OS 8.1 is powered by Linux kernel 6.11, Mesa , etc. The kernel uplift also remedies a number of annoying issues which had affected those using the distro on AMD hardware. Foundational fittings aside, elementary devs also sort of fixed, fine-tuned and finessed many of the apps, tools, and home-grown technologies the distro ships with. “We’ve been hard at work this winter addressing issues :sys_more_orange:

@circuitryhubinsights Hmmm... I am not sure this is the right approach.... I appreciate you emphasizing #privacy, but people who are looking for alternatives for #Windows are usually not always the most computer proficient. To point them to things like Tails, Qubes and purism that can be impossible for them, as they can be challenging even to experienced users and might pretty well scare them away from #Linux forever. I would rather they get their feet wet with #ZorinOS,#Mint or #elementary

Got to the bit in #Elementary where the romance with Fiona is starting and it's making me blub so much, it's too sweet.

(Also, I haven't seen another human in eight days now cos I'm ill. About two days from drawing a face on a volleyball tbh.)

Anyway, back to weeping at #BettyGilpin.

Just comfort binge re-watching #Elementary and I've got to the ep where #NatalieDormer first appears.

She is sooo beautiful, it gives me a deep pain in my heart. I feel like there must be a German word for this, some multi-syllabic wonder?

Or in French? It's def not gonna be in English lol.
