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.

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.

@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!

elementary replied to Christopher

@cjgyt can confirm! Thanks for letting us know. We’re looking it right now 👀

@elementary
At one point there were plans to support Pinebook Pro and ARM in general I believe. Is that still being worked on?

elementary replied to Janne

@jannem we have some experimental ARM images available at builds.elementary.io but nothing were ready to distribute publicly yet
