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 🏳️‍⚧️

When we did our desktop survey, 98% of you said you change at least a few of the items on the dock. So, what’s pinned to your dock? Feel free to share screenshots :)

A system monitor app has been one of the top requested default app additions for quite some time, and we now ship with one!

We’re also now shipping Maps, which currently covers the basics like Explore and Transit maps, showing your current location, searching for locations, and handling `geo://` uri links. Plus Application settings now has a setting to select your default Maps app.

Quick Settings added a new page where you can see which other people are logged in and quickly switch between accounts. Plus, we added a new "Prevent Sleep" toggle. This is useful when you're giving a presentation or have a long-running background task where you want to temporarily avoid letting the computer go to sleep on its normal schedule.

In OS 8.1, you can now directly deny access for apps to send notification bubbles in System Settings → Applications alongside other app permissions

OS 8.1 introduces a blur-behind effect for translucent desktop elements like the Dock, Notifications, and the Alt + Tab window switcher. This not only looks nice but helps visually separate these elements from applications while maintaining legibility

In System Settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts → Custom you can now choose from a list of installed apps and their actions—in addition to being able to execute custom commands. This makes it super straightforward to add a keyboard shortcut for your most common workflows like composing a new email or adding a new Calendar event. Plus System Settings will also now warn you if your desired keyboard shortcut conflicts with a common system shortcut like "Copy", "Paste", or "New Tab"

In AppCenter we now show a simple percentage-based app rating when ratings are available from ODRS—the same ratings server used by apps like GNOME Software. When developers provide screenshots for multiple platforms, we now show you the ones intended for elementary OS. We’ve added support for app addons, and we now show when a game supports playing with controllers
