Elementary OS has released version 5.1.5 and brings an improved welcome screen for the AppCenter enhanced Files, and of course, as with any new release, there are more to discover after installation.
As for AppCenter, you will notice a very important change: no more administrator privileges are required to install the updates.
Of course there are some who believe that this way does not offer better safety, because only administrators should approve the installation of apps.
The reason for this change, the he explains elementary OS co-founder Cassidy James Blaede:
“Since one Admin πρέπει να εγκρίνει την αρχική εγκατάσταση, δεν είχε νόημα να κάνουμε τους χρήστες να χρειάζονται έλεγχο ταυτότητας μόνο για τις ενημερώσεις. Είναι μέρος της συνεχιζόμενης εργασίας μας για τη μείωση του ελέγχου ταυτότητας και την αύξηση των δικαιωμάτων μόνο όταν είναι απαραίτητο”
With regard to application Files, there is a change that significantly improves usability when working with images. Starting with this release, you can simply copy a photo and paste it into a different app. elementary OS will no longer paste the file path, but the image itself.
The Files application brings other small improvements, such as more information that will help a lot in managing files.
Obviously there are many other minor fixes and enhancements, such as freezes when changing specific settings. Overall, according to the developers the elementary OS is much better than before.
