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.
When it comes to AppCenter, you'll notice a very important one change: Administrator rights are no longer required to install 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 has to approve the initial install, it didn't make sense to make users need authentication just for updates. It is part of our ongoing work to reduce it control identity and increasing rights only when necessary"
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 app also brings other small improvements, such as more information that will go a long way in management of 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.
