+elementary OS 7 is a Modest Upgrade With Useful Changes
+======
+
+elementary OS 7 upgrade makes an appearance after almost a year. Some exciting and subtle changes!
+
+![elementary OS 7 is a Modest Upgrade With Useful Changes][1]
+
+elementary OS 6.1 was an impressive release. It has been more than a year, and finally, the next major upgrade, **elementary OS 7 'Horus'**, landed.
+
+The changes may not be considered a massive overhaul, but the development focus was more on **refinements**, as previously [reported][2].
+
+### elementary OS 7: What's New?
+
+The main areas of improvement include:
+
+- **AppCenter**
+- **App & System Updates**
+- **Sideloading or Alternate Stores**
+- **Improved onboarding and installation experience**
+- **App improvements**
+
+#### AppCenter Upgrades
+
+![elementary os 7 appcenter][3]
+
+With every major upgrade, much emphasis is put on AppCenter. While it already offers a polished experience, it gets better with faster performance and better adjustment to different screen resolutions or window sizes.
+
+The app descriptions are the highlight this time. You get to see more screenshots of an app at once, giving you a better view of applications.
+

+
+The images also include captions that should help make app pages accessible to users with vision-related disabilities.
+
+Overall, the screenshots blend in with a background featuring the default accent color of the app, making it look good.
+
+Furthermore, the app descriptions will also give you more information on how actively the app is maintained, along with the recent release notes.
+
+#### App Updates
+
+![elementaryos 7 appcenter app updates][5]
+
+You now get an option to toggle if you want automatic app updates.
+
+The preferences for Flatpak remain the same; instead of manually checking for it, you can opt to have them update automatically.
+
+In addition, system updates will be installed offline once downloaded and prepared to give you a seamless experience.
+
+#### Third-Party App Store
+
+elementaryOS 7 relies on its separate Flatpak repository for the applications on AppCenter.
+
+However, you can still add Flathub as a repository and get more Flatpak apps.
+
+To inform you of the difference, the AppCenter will mention some warning like "**Non-Curated**", so you know it is from an alternate store.
+
+![elementaryos 7 appcenter non-curated app warning][6]
+
+The pop-up warning will only appear once when you try to install an app from a third-party store for the first time.
+
+#### Web App Support
+
+![elementary os 7 web apps][7]
+
+The release includes GNOME Web 43, which supports creating web apps that can be found in the applications menu.
+
+You can manage the web apps installed from within GNOME Web.
+
+#### Redesigned Icons
+
+![elementaryos new icons][8]
+
+elementaryOS is already known as one of the best beautiful Linux distributions.
+
+To elevate the experience, almost every app icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and expressive user experience.
+
+#### Installation & Onboarding Experience
+
+![elementary os 7 primary mouse button prompt installation window][9]
+
+The installation experience is getting more straightforward with upgrades.
+
+In other words, you will have less number of screens in the installer but still, get all the essential information that includes warnings and system requirements.
+
+The installer now prompts you to choose between left-click or right-click as the primary mouse button.
+
+![elementaryos automatic updates toggle onboarding screen][10]
+
+From system theme preferences to automatic updates, you can configure all the essential things right after installation.
+
+#### New Music 7 Multimedia App
+
+![elementartyos music 7 app][11]
+
+To provide a better multimedia experience, the Music app has been completely rewritten from scratch, which works well for various use cases.
+
+You can curate local music locations, preview audio files, get correct metadata info, and more.
+
+#### Other Changes
+
+You will find several other subtle refinements. Some of those include:
+
+- **The mail app now features a more modern and flatter design for improved responsiveness**
+- **The mail app now supports Microsoft 365 accounts**
+- **Offline support for newly created task lists on the Tasks app**
+- **Online Accounts settings include offline support for CalDAV accounts**
+- **Toggle to choose folders with a single click**
+- **Redesigned printer settings**
+- **Power profile management settings**
+
+You can refer to the [official announcement][12] for more details.
+
+### Download elementary OS 7
+
+> 📋 While I tried the latest RC build to test things out, my NVIDIA graphics-powered system booted up with an inverted (weird-looking) colored screen. This may not be an issue for the final release.
+
+You can grab the latest ISO from the [official website][13]. I wish they would add a separate ISO for NVIDIA systems, but for the rest, it should work fine.

+
+Also, you will have to go for a re-install instead of upgrading from elementary OS 6. Check out its [official FAQ][14] before you proceed to install.
