Much-Anticipated Zorin OS 16 is Available for Beta Testing With A Stunning New Look
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS 16 was one of my picks for [distributions to look out for in 2021][1]. They always do something interesting with every major upgrade, and it looks like Zorin OS 16 is going to be an exciting release to talk about.
|
||||
|
||||
The Zorin team [announced][2] the availability of Zorin OS 16 (based on **Ubuntu 20.04 LTS**) beta along with all the new features that come with it.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, I will mention the highlights of the new release along with a video tour (with the download link at the bottom).
|
||||
|
||||
### Zorin OS 16 Beta: What’s New?
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS always tries to make the UX cleaner and attractive while improving the performance, let us see what Zorin OS 16 is all about. Here’s a short video tour to see it in action:
|
||||
|
||||
Now, let me highlight the key changes:
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface Refresh
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
The most exciting part of this release is the UI overhaul that gives it an impressive look.
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS 15 was already a [gorgeous Linux distribution][4]. And with Zorin OS 16, they have refreshed the user interface to look nicer and cleaner.
|
||||
|
||||
It looks like we might have a good-looking alternative to Deepin Linux after all.
|
||||
|
||||
The animations and the theme have been polished to look cleaner. Especially, with the new default background, it blends in pretty nice. In fact, it is a dynamic wallpaper that changes based on the time of the day.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, the lock screen now displays your wallpaper blurred.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Flathub Included
|
||||
|
||||
The adoption of [Flatpak][5] is increasing every day. Now, Zorin OS 16 enables the Flathub repository by default.
|
||||
|
||||
So, you can easily find Flatpak apps right from the Software store.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, you also have Snap store enabled by default. Hence, the software store presents you a range of catalogs.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Improved Welcome Tour
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
This is quite common for every distribution to include. However, this time Zorin OS has updated the tour to guide the user through the basics along with customization options.
|
||||
|
||||
This is definitely going to be very helpful for a newbie.
|
||||
|
||||
#### New Touchpad Gestures
|
||||
|
||||
Even though I stick to my desktop, for users with Laptops the new touchpad gestures should help you navigate quickly between workspaces and activity overview.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Addition of a Sound Recorder App
|
||||
|
||||
The new sound recorder app is a minimal and beautiful app to let you record audio/speech.
|
||||
|
||||
Having an audio recorder out of the box is a plus, not many distributions offer it.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Customization Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS 15 was moderately customizable. With Zorin OS 16, you get enhanced customization options for the taskbar and the overall layout of the system.
|
||||
|
||||
You can set the panel’s transparency, display it on multiple monitors, auto-hide, and more. For the appearance, you can now select an icon theme, change the app theme, fonts, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
The options look much cleaner and easier to find.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Windows 10X-like Desktop Layout Planned
|
||||
|
||||
![][8]
|
||||
|
||||
They plan to introduce a Windows 10X-like desktop layout for users with comfortable with touchpad, touchscreens, and mice. This isn’t included with the beta, but it is expected arrive before the final release.
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS was already a good choice as a [Windows-like distribution][9].
|
||||
|
||||
#### Other Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
There are several under-the-hood tweaks that would contribute to a better user experience. Some of them include:
|
||||
|
||||
* A new jelly animation effect when moving windows and minimizing it
|
||||
* Fractional scaling support for high-res displays
|
||||
* Improved Fingerprint reader support
|
||||
* Unread icons
|
||||
* Refresh settings app
|
||||
* Disabled built-in tracking and telemetry in Firefox
|
||||
* Linux Kernel 5.8
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Try Zorin OS 16 (Beta)
|
||||
|
||||
You get the Zorin OS 16 beta ISO from the download button below. It is worth noting that it may not be wise to use it on a production system while it is meant for beta testing.
|
||||
|
||||
As mentioned in their announcement post, other editions of Zorin OS 16 – such as Lite, Education, and Ultimate – will be available over the coming months.

||||

Ubuntu 21.04 is Releasing This Week! Take a Look at the New Features
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 21.04 is releasing this week on April 22. Some of you might already have [upgraded to Ubuntu 21.04 beta][1] to enjoy the latest and greatest (?) version of Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
For the rest, who are curious about what’s new in Ubuntu 21.04, I have curated a list here.
|
||||
|
||||
### What’s new in Ubuntu 21.04 ‘Hiruste Hippo’?
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, this is an interim release. Don’t expect groundbreaking changes here specially when you compare it to Ubuntu 20.10. There are subtle visual changes here and there, a bit of performance improvements, newer versions of popular software and libraries in the official repository along with the addition of a couple of new features.
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1\. Wayland becomes the default display server
|
||||
|
||||
After the failed experiment with Ubuntu 17.10, Canonical is once again going with Wayland as the default display server in Ubuntu 21.04.
|
||||
|
||||
Wayland has been available as an alternate option for past several releases. It is just becoming the default in this release.
|
||||
|
||||
What does it mean to you? Wayland has a tad bit better performance specially when it comes to [multiple monitors and HiDPI screen handling][3].
|
||||
|
||||
However, you’ll find that several applications do not work very well or do not work at all in Wayland. This is painful for screen capture and recording applications.
|
||||
|
||||
The good thing is that [switching back to Xorg from Wayland][4] is a matter of a few clicks. You just have to figure out if you cannot function well without Xorg server.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2\. Darker dark theme
|
||||
|
||||
Yaru dark theme in Ubuntu 21.04 has a bit darker shade than the one in Ubuntu 20.10. This actually gives a nice look to the operating system, in my opinion.
|
||||
|
||||
You can move the slider to see the visual difference between the dark shade of the two versions.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3\. Dark shell theme by default
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 20.10 the standard Yaru theme by default and you had to opt for the dark mode. That remains as it is in 21.04 as well except the shell theme has been switched to Yaru Dark by default.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that even though your system will have the light theme by default, the notifications, message tray and the system tray will use dark theme.
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4\. Power mode option for laptops
|
||||
|
||||
This is a minor change in the power settings. If you are using a laptop, you can now choose a power mode from the settings.
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
You have the following options available:
|
||||
|
||||
* Performance: Takes a lot of batter power but gives high performance (keeps bluetooth active, screen brightness high and more)
|
||||
* Balanced power: Standard performance with decent batter usage
|
||||
* Power saver: The focus is on saving battery power
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5\. A hybrid mix of GNOME 3.38 and some GNOME 40 applications
|
||||
|
||||
The much anticipated [GNOME 40 with the unorthodox horizontal layout is not available in Ubuntu 21.04][6]. Ubuntu team was not ready for the GTK 4 and the layout change. They are working to bring it to Ubuntu 21.10 in October this year.
|
||||
|
||||
While some core components like Nautilus file manager remain at 3.38, some other GNOME apps like Epiphany browser, Disk Utility etc have the latest versions.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 6\. Private home directories
|
||||
|
||||
So far, the home directories had the permission of 755. Fresh installation of Ubuntu 21.04 will have this changed to 750 and thus making the [home directories private][7].
|
||||
|
||||
![][8]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 7\. Recovery key option for encrypted installs
|
||||
|
||||
While installing Ubuntu, if you opt for disk encryption, you can now also set a recovery key option directly in the installer.
|
||||
|
||||
![Image Credit: OMG Ubuntu][9]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 8\. Minor visual changes
|
||||
|
||||
By no means these are groundbreaking changes. It’s just something I noticed in Ubuntu 21.04 so far.
|
||||
|
||||
You’ll notice that the items on the right click context menu has been divided by more contrast colored lines. I believe this is for accessibility reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
I also noticed that the mounted drives are displayed in the top-right corner of the desktop. If I recall correctly, it used to be under the Home and Trash icons in the previous versions.
|
||||
|
||||
![][11]
|
||||
|
||||
The default Yaru icons have been refreshed for a number of software. You can clearly notice it for the LibreOffice icons.
|
||||
|
||||
![][12]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 9\. Under the hood changes
|
||||
|
||||
Some other changes you should be aware:
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for [Smart Card][13] authentication via PAM
|
||||
* Drag and Drop interaction support with software in the desktop view
|
||||
* Pipewire support enabled to handle audio in sandboxed applications and screen recording
|
||||
* nftables replaces iptables
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
There are newer versions of software:
|
||||
|
||||
* Linux kernel 5.11
|
||||
* Python 3.9
|
||||
* gEdit 3.38.1
|
||||
* LibreOffice 7.1.2
|
||||
* Firefox 87
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
By now you might have realized that there are not many changes in this new release of Ubuntu. There is support for newer hardware and improvements for HiDPI and fingerprint reader but that’s not for everyone. It includes the latest Linux kernel 5.11 if that’s any consolation.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Ubuntu 20.10, you should upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 anyway because 20.10 reaches end of life in July.
|
||||
|
||||
What’s your overall feeling about Ubuntu 21.04? Were you expecting more new features? What are you missing the most here?

======
|
||||
|
||||
It is time to make way for Ubuntu’s latest stable release 21.04 Hiruste Hippo.
|
||||
|
||||
While we already know a great deal about the [features introduced with Ubuntu 21.04][1], it has been [officially announced][2].
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, there’s no GNOME 40, which is a bummer. But, here, let me briefly mention the key highlights of the release and how to get the latest ISO.
|
||||
|
||||
### Ubuntu 21.04: Key Highlights
|
||||
|
||||
Considering this as an interim release, there are no ground-breaking changes but still a few things to get excited about.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Wayland Is The Default Display Server
|
||||
|
||||
This could be one of the most significant changes that you may want to keep an eye on.
|
||||
|
||||
Many applications fail to work with Wayland, but we’re slowly getting Wayland support on new application releases considering its performance and security benefits.
|
||||
|
||||
So, this is probably a bold step to move away from Xorg.
|
||||
|
||||
#### UI Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Ranging from subtle improvements to the Dark Theme to the adoption of dark theme by default, you will be greeted with some UI enhancements for a good user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, [Google’s Flutter apps are coming to Ubuntu 21.04][4]. You will find them through the snap store, and it should potentially enable Linux desktop to have high quality cross-platform with improved user experience overall.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to that, you might observe a few things here and there that could look a bit different.
|
||||
|
||||
#### GNOME 40 Applications & GNOME 3.38
|
||||
|
||||
Even though it does not come baked in with [GNOME 40][5], you will find the default applications updated to GNOME 40.
|
||||
|
||||
So, the GNOME 40 apps have been made compatible with GNOME 3.38 for this release. The next release should make the transition to GNOME 40 without any hiccups.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Private Home Directories
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
The home directory was readable/writable by root and other users. However, with [Ubuntu 21.04, they are making it private][7].
|
||||
|
||||
#### Other Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
There are plenty of other improvements that include under-the-hood changes for new hardware support, enhanced laptop support, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, the packages have been updated to the latest as well along with the inclusion of [Linux Kernel 5.11][8].
|
||||
|
||||
### Things to Know Before You Upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Ubuntu 20.10, you can easily upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 through the **Updates** section.
|
||||
|
||||
In either case, if you are on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, I would not recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 21.04 yet unless you want the latest and greatest at the expense of stability and potential issues.
|
||||
|
||||
### Download Ubuntu 21.04 Now
|
||||
|
||||
You can get the latest release from the official website, both torrent and a direct ISO file download should be available as options.
|
||||
|
||||
At the time of publishing this, the official website still did not include a link to the latest images but it should be updated soon enough.
|
||||
|
||||
[Ubuntu 21.04 Download][9]
|
||||
|
||||
If you need a choice of desktop environment, you will have to wait for the official flavors of Ubuntu to release an upgrade, that will take a while.

KDE Announces Various App Upgrades With Cutting-Edge Features
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Alongside their Plasma Desktop Environment, KDE develops a huge range of other apps collectively named KDE Gear. These range from content creation apps such as **Kdenlive** and **Kwave** to utilities such as Dolphin, Discover, and Index.
|
||||
|
||||
KDE Gear is something new. It includes heaps of improvements to almost all the KDE apps, which we will be exploring here.
|
||||
|
||||
### What Is KDE Gear?
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
For many people, this name will sound unfamiliar. This is because [KDE Gear][2] is the new name for the [KDE Applications][3]. Previously, they were released individually. The new name aims to unify their marketing and provide greater clarity to users.
|
||||
|
||||
According to **KDE developer Jonathan Riddell**:
|
||||
|
||||
> KDE Gear is the new name for the app (and libraries and plugins) bundle of projects that want the release faff taken off their hands… It was once called just KDE, then KDE SC, then KDE Applications, then the unbranded release service, and now we’re banding it again as KDE Gear.
|
||||
|
||||
This rebrand makes sense, especially as the KDE logo itself is pretty much a glorified gear.
|
||||
|
||||
### Major KDE App Upgrades
|
||||
|
||||
KDE Gear contains many applications, each with its purpose. Here, we will be looking at a few of the key highlights. These include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Kdenlive
|
||||
* Dolphin
|
||||
* Elisa
|
||||
* Index
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
We have also covered the new [Kate editor release challenging Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code][4] separately, if you are curious.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Kdenlive
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
KDE’s video editor has improved massively over the past few years, with heaps of new features added with this release. It involves:
|
||||
|
||||
* Online Resources tool
|
||||
* Speech-To-Text
|
||||
* New AV1 support
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Online resources tool is a fairly recent addition. The main purpose of this tool is to download free stock footage for use in your videos.
|
||||
|
||||
The Speech-To-Text tool is a nifty little tool that will automatically create subtitles for you, with surprising accuracy. It is also effortless to use, with it being launched in just 3 clicks.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, we get to see the main new feature in the 21.04 release: AV1 codec support. This is a relatively new video format with features such as higher compression, and a royalty-free license.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dolphin
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Dolphin, the file manager for Plasma 5, is one of the most advanced file managers existing. Some of its notable features include a built-in terminal emulator and file previews.
|
||||
|
||||
With this release, there are a multitude of new features, including the ability to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Decompress multiple files at once
|
||||
* Open a folder in a new tab by holding the control key
|
||||
* Modify the options in the context menu
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
While minor, these new features are sure to make using Dolphin an even smoother experience.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Elisa
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
Elisa is one of the most exciting additions to KDE Gear. For those who don’t know about it yet, Elisa is a new music player based on [Kirigami][7]. The result of this is an app capable of running on both desktop and mobile.
|
||||
|
||||
With this release, the list of features offered by this application has grown quite a bit longer. Some of these new features include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for AAC audio files
|
||||
* Support for .m3u8 playlists
|
||||
* Reduced memory usage
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As always, the inclusion of support for more formats is welcome. As the KDE release announcement says:
|
||||
|
||||
> But [the new features] don’t mean Elisa has become clunkier. Quite the contrary: the new version released with KDE Gear today actually consumes less memory when you scroll around the app, making it snappy and a joy to use.
|
||||
|
||||
This app is becoming better with each release, and is becoming one of my favorite apps for Linux. At the rate it is improving, we can expect Elisa to become one of the best music players in existence.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Index
|
||||
|
||||
Index is the file manager for Plasma Mobile. Based on Kirigami technologies, it adapts to both mobile and desktop screens well.
|
||||
|
||||
Alongside this convergence advantage, it has almost reached feature-parity with Dolphin, making it a viable alternative on the desktop as well. Because it is constantly being updated with new features and is an evolving application, there isn’t a set list of new features.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to check out its latest version, feel free to [download it from the project website.][8]
|
||||
|
||||
### Other App Updates
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the above-mentioned app upgrades, you will also find significant improvements for **Okular**, **KMail**, and other KDE applications.
|
||||
|
||||
To learn more about the app updates, you can check out the [official announcement page][9].
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrapping Up
|
||||
|
||||
The new KDE Gear 21.04 release includes a wide range of new features and updates all the KDE apps. These promise better performance, usability, and compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
I am really excited about Elisa and Index, especially as they make use of Kirigami.

Next Mainline Linux Kernel 5.12 Released with Essential Improvements
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
[Linux Kernel 5.11][1] was an impressive release with the support for new hardware that’s probably out-of-stock till the end of 2022.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, almost after 2 months of work and a week of delay for a release candidate version 8, Linux Kernel 5.12 is here.
|
||||
|
||||
The improvements span across many things that include processor support, laptop support, new hardware support, storage enhancements, and a few more essential driver additions.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, I will highlight the key changes with this release to give you an overview.
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux Kernel 5.12: Essential Improvements & Additions
|
||||
|
||||
Linux Kernel 5.12 is a neat release with many essential additions. Also, it is worth noting that Linux [5.13 would be the first Linux Kernel to add initial support for Apple M1 devices][2] if you were expecting it here.
|
||||
|
||||
With the [release announcement][3], Linus Torvalds mentioned:
|
||||
|
||||
> Thanks to everybody who made last week very calm indeed, which just makes me feel much happier about the final 5.12 release.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Both the shortlog and the diffstat are absolutely tiny, and it’s mainly just a random collection of small fixes in various areas: arm64 devicetree files, some x86 perf event fixes (and a couple of tooling ones), various minor driver fixes (amd and i915 gpu fixes stand out, but honestly, that’s not because they are big, but because the rest is even smaller), a couple of small reverts, and a few locking fixes (one kvm serialization fix, one memory ordering fix for rwlocks).
|
||||
|
||||
Let us take a look at what’s new overall.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Official PlayStation 5 Controller Driver
|
||||
|
||||
Sony’s open-source driver for controllers were pushed back last cycle, but it has been included with Linux 5.12 Kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
Not just as a one-time open-source driver addition but Sony has committed to its maintenance as well.
|
||||
|
||||
So, if you were looking to use Sony’s DualSense PlayStation 5 Controller, now would be a good time to test it out.
|
||||
|
||||
#### AMD FreeSync HDMI Support
|
||||
|
||||
While AMD has been keeping up with good improvements for its Linux graphics drivers, there was no [FreeSync][4] support over HDMI port.
|
||||
|
||||
With Linux Kernel 5.12, a patch has been merged to the driver that enables FreeSync support on HDMI ports.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Intel Adaptive-Sync for Xe Graphics
|
||||
|
||||
Intel’s 12th gen Xe Graphics is an exciting improvement for many users. Now, with Linux Kernel 5.12, adaptive sync support (variable refresh rate) will be added to connections over the Display Port.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, considering that AMD has managed to add FreeSync support with HDMI, Intel would probably be working on the same for the next Linux Kernel release.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Nintendo 64 Support
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendo 64 is a popular but very [old home video game console][5]. For this reason, it might be totally dropped as an obsolete platform but it is good to see the added support (for those few users out there) in Linux Kernel 5.12.
|
||||
|
||||
#### OverDrive Overclocking for Radeon 4000 Series
|
||||
|
||||
Overlocking support for AMD’s latest GPU’s was not yet supporting using the command-line based OverDrive utility.
|
||||
|
||||
Even though OverDrive has been officially discontinued, there is no GUI-based utility by AMD for Linux. So, this should help meanwhile.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Open-Source Nvidia Driver Support for Ampere Cards
|
||||
|
||||
The open-source Nvidia [Nouveau][6] drivers introduces improved support for Ampere-based cards with Linux Kernel 5.12, which is a step-up from Linux Kernel 5.11 improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
With the upcoming Linux Kernel 5.13, you should start seeing 3D acceleration support as well.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Improvements to exFAT Filesystem
|
||||
|
||||
There have been significant optimizations for [exFAT Filesytem][7] that should allow you to delete big files much faster.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Intel’s Open-Source Driver to Display Laptop Hinge/Keyboard Angle
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a modern Intel laptop, you are in luck. Intel has contributed another open-source driver to help display the laptop hinge angle in reference to the ground.
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe you are someone who’s writing a script to get something done in your Laptop when the hinge reaches a certain angle or who knows what else? Tinkerers would mostly benefit from this addition by harnessing the information they did not have.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the key additions I mentioned above, there are numerous other improvements that include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved battery reporting for Logitech peripherals
|
||||
* Improved Microsoft Surface laptop support
|
||||
* Snapdragon 888 support
|
||||
* Getting rid of obsolete ARM platforms
|
||||
* Networking improvements

If you think Linux 5.12 could be a useful upgrade for you, I’d suggest you to wait for your Linux distribution to push an update or make it available for you to select it as your Linux Kernel from the repository.

It is also directly available in [The Linux Kernel Archives][9] as a tarball if you want to compile it from source.

CloudLinux Announces Commercial Support for its CentOS Alternative AlmaLinux OS
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
CentOS alternative [AlmaLinux][1] announced the availability of their [first stable release][2] a month back.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are planning to replace your CentOS deployments or have already started to utilize AlmaLinux OS, you will be happy to know that you are about to get commercial support and premium support soon.
|
||||
|
||||
CloudLinux, the sponsor of the project announced that it will start providing multiple support options next month.
|
||||
|
||||
### More About the Support Options
|
||||
|
||||
According to the press release, they aim to offer reasonable pricing for the support tiers:
|
||||
|
||||
> “Support services for AlmaLinux OS from CloudLinux provides both the highest quality support from the OS sponsor along with the benefits of an independent technology partnership,” said Jim Jackson, president and chief revenue officer, CloudLinux. “Reasonably priced and flexible support services keep systems running on AlmaLinux OS continuously updated and secure for production workloads.”
|
||||
|
||||
They also clarify that the support tiers will include update delivery commitments and 24/7 incident response services.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that you will be getting regular patches and updates for the Linux kernel and core packages, patch delivery service-level agreements (SLAs), and 24/7 incident support.
|
||||
|
||||
For any business or enterprise, this should be the perfect incentive to start replacing CentOS on their server if looking for a [CentOS alternative][3].
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the plans for the next month, they also plan to offer a premium support option for enterprise use-cases and more:
|
||||
|
||||
> CloudLinux is also planning to introduce a premium support tier for enterprises that require enhanced services, as well as Product NodeOS Support for AlmaLinux OS, explicitly tailored to the needs of vendors and OEMs that are planning to use AlmaLinux as a node OS underlying their commercial products and services.
|
||||
|
||||
This is definitely exciting and should grab the attention of OEMs, and businesses looking for a CentOS alternative with a long-term support until 2029 at least.
|
||||
|
||||
They also added what the community manager of AlmaLinux OS thinks about it going forward:
|
||||
|
||||
> “Since launch, we’ve received tremendous interest and support from both the community as well as many commercial vendors, many of whom have begun using AlmaLinux OS for some pretty amazing use cases,” said Jack Aboutboul, community manager of AlmaLinux. “Our thriving community has supported each other since day one which led to rapid adoption amongst organizations and requests for commercial support.”
|
||||
|
||||
The support service options should start rolling out in **May 2021** (next month). If you want to know more about it before the release or how you can use it for your AlmaLinux OS deployments, fill up the form in the [official support page][4].
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
_So, what do you think about AlmaLinux OS as a CentOS alternative now with the imminent availability of commercial support? Do you have big hopes for it? Feel free to share what you think!_

Elementary OS 6 Beta Available Now! Here Are the Top New Features
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
The beta release of elementary OS 6 is here. It is available to download and test for the early adapters and application developers.
|
||||
|
||||
Before I give you the details on downloading and upgrade procedure, let’s have a look at the changes this new release is bringing.
|
||||
|
||||
### New features in elementary OS 6 “Odin”
|
||||
|
||||
Every elementary OS release bases itself on an Ubuntu LTS release. The upcoming elementary OS 6, codenamed “Odin”, is based on the latest Ubuntu 20.04 LTS version.
|
||||
|
||||
elementary OS has an ecosystem of its own, so the similarities with Ubuntu technically ends here. The Pantheon desktop environment gives it an entire different look and feel that you see in other distributions using GNOME or KDE.
|
||||
|
||||
In November last year, we took the early build of elementary OS 6 for a test ride. You may see it in action in the video below.
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Things have improved and more features have been added since then. Let’s take a look at them.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dark theme with customization options
|
||||
|
||||
Dark theme is not a luxury anymore. Its popularity has forces operating system and application developers to integrate the dark mode features in their offerings.
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
elementary OS is also offering a dark theme but it has a few additional features to let you enjoy the dark side.
|
||||
|
||||
You can choose to automatically switch to the dark theme based on the time of the day. You can also choose an accent color to go with the dark theme.
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Don’t expect a flawless dark theme experience. Like every other operating system, it depends on the applications. Sandboxed Flatpak applications won’t go dark automatically unlike the elementary OS apps.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Refreshed look and feel
|
||||
|
||||
There are many subtle changes to give elementary OS a refreshed look and feel.
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
You’ll notice more rounded bottom window corners. The typography has changed for the first time and it now uses [Inter typeface][4] instead of the usual Open Sans. Default font rendering settings opts for grayscale anti-aliasing over RGB.
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
You can now give an accent color to your system. With that, the icons, media buttons etc will have the chosen accented color.
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Multi-touch gestures
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-touch gestures are a rarity in Linux desktops. However, elementary OS has worked hard to bring some multi-touch gesture support. You should be able to use it for muti-tasking view as well as for switching workspaces.
|
||||
|
||||
You can see it in action in this video.
|
||||
|
||||
Individual apps may also provide You should be able to configure it from the settings.
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
The gestures will be used in some other places such as when navigating between panes and views, swiping away notifications and more.
|
||||
|
||||
#### New and improved installer
|
||||
|
||||
elementary OS 6 will also feature a brand-new installer. This is being developed together with Linux system manufacturer System76. elementary OS team worked on the front end and the System76 team worked on the back end of the installer.
|
||||
|
||||
The new installer aims to improve the experience more both from an OS and OEM perspective.
|
||||
|
||||
![][8]
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
![][9]
|
||||
|
||||
![][9]
|
||||
|
||||
The new installer also plans to have the capability of a creating a recovery partition (which is basically a fresh copy of the operating system). This will make reinstalling and factory resetting the elementary OS a lot easier.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Flatpak all the way
|
||||
|
||||
You could already use [Flatpak][11] applications in elementary OS 5. Here, the installed application is local to the user account (in its home directory).
|
||||
|
||||
elementary OS 6 supports sharing Flatpak apps system wide. This is part of the plan to ship applications in elementary OS as Flatpaks out of the box. It should be ready by the final stable release.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Firmware updates from the system settings
|
||||
|
||||
elementary OS 6 will notify you of updatable firmware in the system settings. This is for hardware that is compatible with [fwupd][12]. You can download the firmware updates from the settings. Some firmware updates are installed on the next reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
![][13]
|
||||
|
||||
#### No Wayland
|
||||
|
||||
While elementary OS 6 code has some improved support for Wayland in the department of screenshots, it won’t be ditching Xorg display server just yet. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS stuck with Xorg and elementary OS 6 will do the same.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Easier feedback reporting mechanism
|
||||
|
||||
I think this is for the beta testers so that they can easily provide feedback on various system components and functionality. I am not sure if the feedback tool will make its way to the final stable release. However, it is good to see a dedicated, easy to use tool that will make it easier to get feedback from less technical or lazy people (like me).
|
||||
|
||||
![][14]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Other changes
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some other changes in the new version of elementary OS:
|
||||
|
||||
* screen locking and sleep experience should be much more reliable and predictable
|
||||
* improved accessibility features
|
||||
* improved notifications with emoji support
|
||||
* Epiphany browser becomes default
|
||||
* New Task app
|
||||
* Major rewrite of the Mail application
|
||||
* Option to show num lock and caps lock in the panel
|
||||
* Improved booting experience with OEM logo
|
||||
* Improved performance on lower-clocked processors and slower storage mediums like SD cards
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
More details can be found on the [official blog of elementary OS][15].
|
||||
|
||||
### Download and install elementary OS 6 beta (for testing purpose)
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that the experimental [support for Raspberry Pi like ARM devices][16] is on pause for now. You won’t find beta download for ARM devices.
|
||||
|
||||
There is no way to update elementary OS 5 to the beta of version 6. Also note that if you install elementary OS 6 beta, you will **not be able to upgrade to the final stable release**. You’ll need to install it afresh.
|
||||
|
||||
Another thing is that some of the features I mentioned are not finished yet so expect some bugs and hiccups. It is better to use it on a spare system or in a virtual machine.
|
||||
|
||||
The beta is available for testing for free and you can download the ISO from the link below:
|
||||
|
||||
[Download elementary OS 6 beta][17]
|
||||
|
||||
### When will elementary OS 6 finally release?
|
||||
|
||||
No one can tell that, not even the elementary OS developers. They don’t work with a fixed release date. It will be released when the planned features are stable. If I had to guess, I would say expect it in early July.
|
||||
|
||||
elementary OS 6 is one of the [most anticipated Linux distributions of 2021][18]. Are you liking the new features? How is the new look in comparison to [Zorin OS 16 beta][19]?

Ubuntu 21.10 “Impish Indri” Development Begins, Daily Builds Available Now
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
I was slightly disappointed at the lack of enough new features in the [recent release of Ubuntu 21.04][1]. However, Canonical is set to change that with the upcoming release of Ubuntu 21.10 ‘**Impish Indri**‘.
|
||||
|
||||
It is slated to have a variety of new features, including the [recently released Gnome 40][2]/41, [GCC 11][3], and more usage of the [Flutter toolkit][4].
|
||||
|
||||
### Ubuntu 21.10 Release Schedule
|
||||
|
||||
The final stable release date of Ubuntu 21.10 is October 14, 2021. Here are the milestones of the release schedule:
|
||||
|
||||
* Beta release: **23rd September**
|
||||
* Release Candidate: **7th October**
|
||||
* Final Release: **14th October**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 21.10 is codenamed Impish Idri. Impish is an adjective that means “inclined to do slightly naughty things for fun”. Idrish is a Lemur found in Madagascar.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are not aware already, all Ubuntu releases are codenamed in alphabetical order and composed of an adjective and an animal species, both starting with the same letter.
|
||||
|
||||
### New Features Expected in Ubuntu 21.04
|
||||
|
||||
Although an official feature list has not been released yet, you can expect the following features to be present:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Gnome 40][2]/41
|
||||
* [GCC 11][3]
|
||||
* More usage of [Flutter][4]
|
||||
* [A new desktop installer][5]
|
||||
* Linux Kernel 5.14
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Together, these will provide a huge upgrade from Ubuntu 21.04. In my opinion, the biggest upgrade will be the inclusion of GNOME 40, especially with the new horizontal overview.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, it should be fascinating to see how the Ubuntu team makes use of the [new design changes in GNOME 40][2].
|
||||
|
||||
### Daily Builds of Ubuntu 21.10 Available (For Testing Only)
|
||||
|
||||
Although the development of Ubuntu 21.10 has only just started, there are already daily builds available from the official Ubuntu website.
|
||||
|
||||
Please bear in mind that these are daily builds (early development) and are not meant to be used as a daily driver.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Wrapping Up
|
||||
|
||||
With the sheer number of upgrades, the Ubuntu team is rushing to implement all the new features destined for this release. Consequently, this should then allow them time to fully bake the new features ahead of the release of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (I can’t wait already!)
|
||||
|
||||
Between Gnome 40, Linux 5.14, and the new desktop installer, Ubuntu 21.10 is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases in recent years. It will be really exciting to see how the Ubuntu team embraces Gnome 40’s new looks, as well as what the new desktop installer will look like.
