elementary OS 5.0 JUNO BETA - Preview and first impressions - Part 1
378Part 2 is coming soon to cover many more changes !
I was lucky enough to get an early access to the beta, so we're gonna take a nice little tour of all the changes !
Thanks again to Daniel Foré and the whole elementary OS team for letting me prepare this video in advance !
Please read the description to know more about this beta:
We'll take a tour of the changes on the desktop, the settings, and the default apps. Obviously, you'll also get much newer versions of all applications, since elementary OS 5.0 JUNO is based on Ubuntu LTS 18.04.
It is still very much a beta, even though it has been very stable during my few hours with it, but I would advise to stick to Loki or your current system, and to wait for the final release before jumping the shark, since it might crash, break your system, or you might lose some data or files.
Here is the blog post that the elementary team has published, to know more about this beta : https://medium.com/elementaryos/developer-preview-juno-beta-1-is-here-ce9160085bb2
Of course, if you want to help test the beta, and you have a spare system to try it on, you're welcome to, and remember to file bug reports following the guide here: https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Felementary.io%2Fdocs%2Fcode%2Freference%23reporting-bugs.
If you decide to try it anyway, just download the image from the medium post, and burn it to a usb key with Image Burner (available from the App Center) or any other program you'd like to use. Reboot with the USB key plugged in, and select "try elementary os without installing". This should get you to a desktop ! Don't forget to enable booting from external devices, and making the usb devices your first boot media in your BIOS / UEFI settings.
