Additionally:

  • a ton of ISO downloads, ARM and RISC-V support
  • Local AI integration for detecting images, searching through docs, finding stuff and writing emails.
  • Wayland support.
  • A new UI which is a mix of MacOS, Windows 11 and KDE Plasma.
  • Atomic updates.
  • A new containerized package format (linglong) competing with Flatpak, with some improvements over it.
    • This is very true; that’s just plain Capitalism, and the government takes advantage of that through simply asking for the data.

      It’s a great reason to never use MS or Apple software.

      I’m stuck on Android, which is no better, at least until someone sells a phone that is reasonably usable as a reliably daily driver. So, I assume everything going through my phone is surveilled. It’s the price I pay for not wanting to limit myself to a dumb phone; a minimalist phone that will allowed me to use a P2P encrypted chat client would be sufficient; I’d even accept Signal, although I’m not a fan. But phones like the Light Phone are just too dumb, and none provide any sort of encrypted chat. Linux based phones (or, a phone-oriented Linux distro) are almost there, though, and I’m ready to jump when one gets a decent review.
