 OS 8 includes the latest long-term support Hardware Enablement stack from @ubuntu, including #Linux 6.8. We’re also shipping with Pipewire which improves latency and bluetooth audio quality while being architected for the world of sandboxed Flatpak apps running in the Secure Session. This is an especially big deal for folks doing audio production tasks on elementary OS. Thanks @ubuntu 😘 15 comments
Power settings now shows the charging level and status for both internal batteries and connected battery devices like mice and keyboards. You can also choose to automatically set different power profiles based on whether your device is plugged in or on battery power, and power modes can be quickly changed from the power menu in the panel. Plus the battery icon in the panel will now show much more accurate battery levels for mobile computers. I want to give special thanks to all of our volunteer contributors for working hard over the last 13 months to make this an incredible release. I’m also eternally grateful to our individual Early Access sponsors for providing consistent funding to keep producing our operating system and distributing it under our pay-what-you-can model. If you’d like to help build and improve elementary OS, don’t hesitate to Get Involved. https://elementary.io/get-involved  OS 8 is available to download now for a pay-what-you-can price on our website! https://elementary.io @elementary congratulations on the new release! Looks like some really cool stuff! @elementary I’ve tried purchasing through a few browsers but always end up on a blank page after pressing the purchase button. I’ll try again tomorrow! @cjgyt can confirm! Thanks for letting us know. We’re looking it right now 👀  @elementary @jannem we have some experimental ARM images available at https://builds.elementary.io but nothing were ready to distribute publicly yet |

Driver management has moved from AppCenter to System Settings → System. The new design for drivers is more in line with how drivers are managed on other operating systems and is easier to work with, especially for hardware that has multiple driver options like NVIDIA graphics.
