elementary OS is an
Ubuntu-based desktop distribution. Some of its more interesting features
include a custom desktop environment called Pantheon and a custom
software centre. The project's latest release is elementary OS 5.1
"Hera", which introduces many package updates, a refreshed login screen,
and an onboarding application to guide new users through available
features. "
The newly redesigned login and lockscreen
greeter looks sharper, works better, and fixes many reported issues
with the previous greeter including focus issues, HiDPI issues, and
better localization. The new design in Hera was in response to user
feedback from Juno, and enables some nice new features. It now always
shows usernames for all users, shows users' backgrounds as cards so you
can more easily find users who maybe haven't set differentiating
avatars, notifies when Caps or Num Lock are on, and makes 'Log In as
Guest' more distinct when it's enabled. The new Onboarding app that
ships with Hera introduces key features to users and handles common
first-run tasks like managing privacy settings." Further details and screenshots can be found in the project's
release announcement.
