Thoughtful, capable, and ethical computing—plus AppCenter, the pay-what-you-can app store
It’s also #TransDayOfVisibility today! It’s a good day to acknowledge that if you’re using desktop Linux, you’re almost certainly using something made at least in part by transgender people. And we must continue to work to dismantle systems of discrimination against the trans folks in our community 🏳️⚧️

New year, new elementary OS! We've got a great new minor release for you including a bunch of fixes you reported over the winter break and the latest hardware enablement from Ubuntu 🚀
Danielle ForéI’ve proposed the release code name for OS 9 as Tanit!
Tanit is the goddess of wisdom, civilization, and craft, mainly worshipped in the Phoenician city of Carthage. Precursor to Minerva and Athena. She is referred to as the “defender of homes and families”. That seems like a goddess we could use the protection of in these times.
Bonus fun fact, when her name was first discovered, it was written in Punic which has no vowels, so it roughly translates written as “TNT” 💥

Some of my favorite things:
* Some cute animations for the Dock, way more tooltips, and uninstall and view in appcenter actions in the context menu
* A refined appearance for the new screen blocking dialogs—of which lock and log out is now one
* Remebering your last screenshot choice
* Less intrusive driver notifications
* A fix for remembering Bluetooth state
And a ton more! These updates are all coming soon, so keep an eye out!
Another minor release with a handful of bug fixes, new features, and the latest hardware enablement from @ubuntu is right around the corner! Check out this project board to follow along with what we’re working on 👀
