The elementary OS team have published a new version of their Ubuntu-based distribution. The new release, elementary OS 7.0 "Horus", intrduces a number of new changes, many of them focused on the software centre: "As always, AppCenter is the centerpiece of elementary OS. The primary purpose of any operating system is to support the apps that you use to work, play, and express yourself creatively. In the latest version of AppCenter we've worked on making app descriptions more engaging with more information, making it easier to update to the latest versions of apps, and improving support for sideloading and alt stores. We've also worked on improving AppCenter's responsiveness - making sure you can comfortably use it when tiling and on small displays as well as better using space on large displays. We've completely rewritten the way navigation works in AppCenter and now support two-finger swipe gestures to navigate back. The entire app loads much faster and provides more feedback when running background tasks via an overlay bar in the bottom right or left corner." Additional information, along with screenshots, can be found in the project's release announcement. Download: elementaryos-7.0-stable.20230129rc.iso (2,650MB, SHA256, pkglist). |

Matt Dobson has announced the release of ArchLabs Linux 2023.01.20, an updated build of the project's minimalist, Arch-based distribution featuring the dk window manager (a tiling window manager similar to bspwm): "ArchLabs Release 2023.01.20 is now available. This is our first release of 2023 and it comes a couple of weeks after our 6th birthday. There isn't a lot new with this release; we have added dwm back to the installer and you will see that booting the ISO image no longer will take you to a live session. The live session was always just an experiment and to try something new, really. Our live session still exists, so for those of you who want to check out dk in all its glory, just type startx and hit enter. We have given the live session a nice tweak and some improvements. Also, an epic new default wallpaper from our own Will. We have tweaked the themes, updated the ArchLabs iconset, Tint2 has had some tweaks. Nate has been chipping away at dk making it better and better with each update. We now offer downloads from Cloudflare R2, please be aware that the download will start instantly. As usual, if you encounter any bugs or issues, please seek help at ArchLabs Forum." Visit the distribution's home page to read the complete release announcement.
