Show me something you made with elementary OS! 👇

You want to write an app that runs on elementary OS and other Linux OSes but aren’t sure where to start? We have a comprehensive guide to code, build, localize, package cross-platform with #Flatpak and monetize on AppCenter. Check it out! https://docs.elementary.io/develop/

It’s updates time! This month we have big Wayland news, a new way to manage drivers, @flathub in elementary OS by default, and even some updates for OS 7, including a new release of Mail! Check it out: https://blog.elementary.io/updates-for-june-2024/

Today is the 13th birthday of elementary OS! Thanks to our friends, fans, sponsors, and more who have supported us and made it possible to keep bringing you our vision for the Open Source desktop 🩷🎂

If you’re using our desktop (Pantheon) on @fedora consider sponsoring @decathorpe who maintains those packages for you! https://github.com/sponsors/decathorpe

@fedora congrats on the release!

A tablet with a detachable keyboard running elementary OS out of the box? Pretty excited about that 👀 https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/08/star-labs-reveal-their-new-starlite-a-surface-like-linux-tablet/

@kainoa Yes! Several of the apps we ship have already made the jump to Gtk4 and we’ve been making steady progress on porting the rest. We’re tracking our progress here: https://github.com/orgs/elementary/projects/95

Updates for May are here! This month expect mostly minor maintenance updates, with a larger preview of features coming in future months 👀 https://blog.elementary.io/updates-for-may-2023/

Just like Mastodon instances, having more @FlatpakApps stores will make the ecosystem more healthy and robust! Welcome to the Flatpakverse (lol?) https://puri.sm/posts/introducing-flatpaks-on-pureos/
