elementary OS 无疑是 [最美丽的 Linux 发行版](https://itsfoss.com/beautiful-linux-distributions/) 中的佼佼者。就在一个月之前，注重隐私保护的 [elementary OS 7.1](https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-7-1/) 版本也发布了。


现在，通过最新的公告，我们对即将发布的 elementary OS 8 有了更全面的了解。


而且这一次，我们看起来可能会早一点体验到新的 elementary OS 版本。


让我们深入挖掘下吧！?


### elementary OS 8：一项雄心勃勃的尝试


**elementary OS 的开发者已经将目标转向** OS 8 系列，他们 **对此寄予了深厚的期待，看好其带来的大量结构性改变和升级**。


根据 elementary OS 8 的开发路线图，此次主要版本将以 **Ubuntu 24.04 的源代码库** 为基础构建，然而，目前的情况显示，我们至少需要 **等到 2024 年 4 月才能见到 OS 8 的发布**。


同时，他们也明确提到，他们设定了一些 **非常雄心勃勃的目标**，希望未来的 6 个月内就可以完成。不过，他们 **打算在 OS 8 完全准备就绪后再进行发布**。


那么，这些目标具体有哪些呢？


首先，他们计划默认实现对 [Wayland](https://wayland.freedesktop.org/) 的 **过渡**，这不算令人意外，因为我们已经看到许多主流发行版都在采用它。接下来便是 **延续 GTK 4 的过渡**，其中包含了一些目前处于开发最后阶段的核心应用。


此外，他们正处于 **设计新的快速设置菜单的初级阶段**，并且还明确表示，**此次发布会对他们的桌面环境 Pantheon 的设计进行重大改进**。


读到这里，你可能会产生一个问题；**那么，elementary OS 7 将会如何呢？**


开发者已经明确表示，**当前正在使用 OS 7 的用户从现在起可能会收到的更新会变少**，因为他们认为 OS 7 版本已经相当完善。


但是，所有以 Flatpak 包形式提供的应用还将继续定期接收更新，这当然也包括了许多 elementary OS 的核心应用。


想要了解更多信息，你可以参考 [官方公告](https://blog.elementary.io/lets-talk-os-8/)。如果你对 **elementary OS 8 的开发进度** 感兴趣，你可以在其 GitHub [项目看板](https://github.com/orgs/elementary/projects/128/views/1) 上进行关注。


**你是否想要尝试一下 elementary OS 8 的早期构建版本呢？**


好的，**基于 Ubuntu 24.04 源代码库的试验构建版** 现在就可以下载了！请记住，想要获取下载权限，**你需要成为 GitHub 上的赞助者**。


现在就可以前往官方的 [构建网站](https://builds.elementary.io/) 开始下载了。

elementary OS is undoubtedly one of the [most beautiful Linux distributions ](https://itsfoss.com/beautiful-linux-distributions/?ref=news.itsfoss.com). Just a month prior, we saw the release of [elementary OS 7.1](https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-7-1/) that focused on the privacy side of things.

With a recent announcement, we now have a better look at what's in store for the next upgrade, elementary OS 8.

And, it looks like this time, we could get the next elementary OS release a bit early.

Let's dive in! 🤓

## elementary OS 8: An Ambitious Effort

The **developers of elementary OS have now shifted their focus** towards developing the OS 8 series, they are **expecting a considerable amount of architectural changes and transitions** with this.

According to elementary OS 8's roadmap, this major version is being **built from the repositories for Ubuntu 24.04**, and as things stand right now, **OS 8 won't be released at least until April 2024**.

They also added that **they have planned on a number of very ambitious goals**, with hopes that they will be able to complete the work in the next 6 months. But, they** intend to release OS 8 only when it's ready**.

Let's discuss some of those goals.

The first one is the **transition to **, this is not a surprise, as we are seeing an upwards trend of its adoption by many major distros. Then there's the

**Wayland**by default

**continuation of the GTK 4 transition**, with various core apps being in the final stages of development.

Other than that, they are in the **early stages of designing a new Quick Settings menu**, and they have also mentioned that** this release will feature some of the largest changes to the design of their desktop environment, Pantheon**.

After reading the above, a question arises; **what will happen to elementary OS 7?**

The developers have mentioned that **users who are running OS 7 should expect fewer updates from this point onwards**, they feel that the OS 7 series is largely complete.

However, all apps that are provided as Flatpak packages will continue to receive updates regularly, this also includes many core apps of elementary OS.

For more details, you can refer to the [official announcement](https://blog.elementary.io/lets-talk-os-8/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), and if you are curious about the progress **on elementary OS 8**, you can keep an eye out on its GitHub [project board](https://github.com/orgs/elementary/projects/128/views/1?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

**Want to try an early build of elementary OS 8?**

Well, **experimental builds based on the Ubuntu 24.04 repositories** are available to download right now! Keep in mind, that for getting access, **you have to be a GitHub sponsor.**

Head over to the official [builds website](https://builds.elementary.io/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) to get started.
