Simon Long has announced the release of a new feature update of Raspberry Pi OS, a Debian-based Linux distribution designed for the Raspberry Pi range of single-board computers. The latest version brings an updated look for the Raspberry Pi Desktop and also introduces a new icon dock: "Today brings you some optional updates to the Raspberry Pi Desktop, which gains some modern features while keeping its simplicity. What is currently known as the Raspberry Pi Desktop has been around for over a decade now - it started out as a mildly customised version of the stock LXDE desktop, and over the years has slowly evolved into something with almost entirely different underpinnings, based on Wayland and labwc. The look has been refreshed on several occasions, with new icons, themes and desktop backgrounds, to the point where there is very little visually in common between today’s Raspberry Pi Desktop and the original LXDE. But one thing which has never changed is the overall feel of the desktop, which, with its taskbar, status icons and main menu launcher, is very reminiscent of the state of the art in desktop design from 30 years or so ago, with Windows 95 and Apple System 7."
