elementary OS 6 Beta 2 is the First Step to Have Flatpak Apps Out-of-the-box
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
elementary OS 6 “Odin” [beta release][1] gave us a sneak peek on a variety of interesting things that are in motion for the final release.
|
||
|
||
Now, the second beta release, i.e. **elementary OS 6 Beta 2** is starting to make sense of the ambitious plans that the development team has for the stable release soon.
|
||
|
||
This release is meant for testing and development, do not install it on your production system.
|
||
|
||
### What’s New in elementary OS 6 Beta 2?
|
||
|
||
elementary OS 6 beta 2 brings in three major key upgrades along with under-the-hood improvements.
|
||
|
||
First, the improvements to the installer.
|
||
|
||
There are a few UI tweaks to the installer for a cleaner and consistent look. You will also find a subtle animation with the installation progress instead of a static icon.
|
||

||

|
||
|
||
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.

||

|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
