You will also find a subtle animation with the installation progress instead of a static icon. + +![Credits: elementary OS Blog][2] + +If you have been using the first beta, you will need to re-install for proper testing. The installer window did not resize, which was a problem for me to test using a virtual machine setup. + +The next major highlight is the **addition of first party Flatpak applications**. While they already made it clear that they want to transition to Flatpak packages for any pre-installed apps, now they are finally making progress. + +![][3] + +As mentioned in the beta 2 [release announcement][4]: + +> elementary OS 6 now comes with Calculator, Camera, Document Viewer, Screenshot, Tasks, and Web from the AppCenter Flatpak repository. + +So, you should expect more first-party applications to embrace Flatpak packaging. It will also make its way to third-party applications available in the App Center (which the developers can follow to make their applications available as a Flatpak package). + +Of course, this may also encourage other distributions to adopt Flatpak applications to provide a secure sandbox experience out of the box. + +The last important addition with this release is the **ability to add online accounts from the System settings**. + +You can add both mail and calendar accounts, note that both IMAP and CalDav standards are supported. + +Once you add the accounts, it will show up in apps like Calendar, Tasks, and Mail making the experience seamless. + +#### Other Improvements + +![][5] + +Along with several under-the-hood improvements, other significant changes include: + + * Improved notification system that supports icon badges and action buttons + * Updating the documentation before the final release + * Web supports dark style theme + + + +For more information on the latest beta release, you can explore the [release announcement][4]. + +### Download elementary OS 6 Beta 2 + +You can download the beta 2 for public testing from its [official builds][6] page. It is worth noting that only GitHub sponsors can access early/daily builds. + +[elementary OS 6 Beta 2][6] + +_I’m excited about elementary OS 6, what about you?
