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. + +![elementary os 7 appcenter descriptions][4] + +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. + +[elementary OS 7][13] + +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. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-7-release/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lkxed][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/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w2000/2023/01/elementary-os-7-release-ft.png +[2]: https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-7-dev-updates/ +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/appcenter-responsive.jpg +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/appcenter-appinfo.png +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/appcenter-updates.png +[6]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/appcenter-sideload.png +[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/web-apps.png +[8]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/icons-apps.png +[9]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/initialsetup-lefthand-elementaryos.png +[10]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/onboarding-updates.png +[11]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/elementary-music.jpg +[12]: https://blog.elementary.io/os-7-available-now/ +[13]: https://elementary.io +[14]: https://github.com/elementary/os/wiki/OS-7-Horus-FAQ
