Earlier this year, we took a look at the [elementary OS 7][1] release, which brought about plenty of improvements. + +And now, we have **elementary OS 7.1** release to check out. Let's see what it has to offer. + +## 🆕 elementary OS 7.1: What's New? + +![][2] + +Being one of the [most beautiful Linux distros][3] around, this release of elementary OS **focuses on the privacy and accessibility side of things**. + +Some of the most notable highlights of this release include: + + * **Privacy Tweaks** + * **Better Accessibility** + * **AppCenter Improvements** + * **Improved Gesture and Keyboard Navigation** + + + +### Privacy Tweaks + +![][4] + +A new system has been added to the distro that **handles the auto-start of applications** , and even **alerts you when apps are running in the background**. + +The autostart behavior of many core apps such as Calendar, Mail, and Tasks can now be controlled thanks to this new ' **Background & Autostart'** portal. + +The same portal also handles the permissions for applications, with the ' **Location Services** ' being improved with **a more secure method** for allowing apps to request location access. + +It follows the latest [FreeDesktop.org][5] standard for achieving that. + +### Better Accessibility + +![][6] + +After receiving **feedback from various users with vision-related disabilities** , the elementary OS team has implemented some useful accessibility features. + +One feature is that **an audio prompt** is automatically played during the first install t **o let users** **know the keyboard shortcut for the screen reader**. This audio prompt is also available during the initial setup after the installation. + +And the second is the implementation of **five distinct display filters** for **helping[color vision deficient][7] folks** chart their way through the distro. + +The filters are tailored for people with the **Protanopia** , **Deuteranopia** , and **Tritanopia** issues. They have also added some **additional high contrast options** , with plenty of **assistive text**. + +### AppCenter Improvements + +![][8] + +The **AppCenter has also been improved** , with it now showing what permissions are required by any listed or sideloaded Flatpak apps to run properly. + +It can now show app permissions such as location, sending notifications, autostart, read/write system settings and more. + +These should make it easier for a user to understand the app they are installing, and to know what kind of access it requires. + +### Improved Gesture and Keyboard Navigation + +![][9] + +Similarly, **multitouch gestures and keyboard navigation have received a boost** thanks to a more widespread implementation across the system. + +Users can now **use gestures to control workspaces** , **navigate using the various newly added keyboard shortcuts**. The settings for keyboard behavior have also been redone, with loads of options to tweak the experience. + +### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements + +Like every elementary OS release, there are many subtle refinements that go a long way. Some other highlights include: + + * A new app menu in the header bar for 'Files' that features new zoom controls and a 'bulk rename' feature for renaming many files in one go. + * Implementation of the latest long-term support [Hardware Enablement stack][10] from Ubuntu. + * The feedback app has been improved, it now features a search bar, and has been ported to GTK 4. + * Complete revamp of the 'Mail' app, resulting in a more stable experience. + * Inclusion of [GNOME Web 44.6][11]. + * Various updates to the core apps. + + + +I suggest you go through the official [release notes][12] to dive deeper into this release. + +## 📥 Download elementary OS 7.1 + +As elementary OS is a ' **pay-what-you-can** ' distro, you can head over to the [official website][13] to purchase it or download it for free. + +[elementary OS 7.1][13] + +You can also opt for one of the listed hardware retailers on their site that offer the distro pre-installed on laptops and desktops. + +* * * + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-7-1/ + +作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-7-release/ +[2]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/10/elementary-OS-7.1_1.jpg +[3]: https://itsfoss.com/beautiful-linux-distributions/ +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/10/elementary-OS-7.1_2.png +[5]: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ +[6]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/10/elementary-OS-7.1_3.png +[7]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness +[8]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/10/elementary-OS-7.1_4.png +[9]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/10/elementary-OS-7.1_5.png +[10]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack +[11]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/releases/44.6 +[12]: https://blog.elementary.io/os-7-1-available-now/ +[13]: https://elementary.io/
