Elementary Releases Stable Version of Freya

The makers of elementary OS have announced the first stable release of Freya, the latest version of the Ubuntu-based operating system. Freya is the successor to Luna, which came out two years ago.

Elementary announced the arrival of the final version on its blog. According to the makers, the emphasis in the Freya release is on design and the OS should feel smoother. But in addition, several new features have been built in, such as improved multitasking, notifications and privacy. There is also support for uefi. In addition, several bugs that came with the previous release have been fixed.

Those interested can download the new Freya release from Elementary’s website. The software can be downloaded for free, although it is possible to make a financial contribution through a donation. Those who work with the previous version of the operating system must do a clean installation, according to the makers.

Freya is Luna’s successor and has been in development for about a year and a half. Luna came out two years ago and has been downloaded over three million times, according to elementary.
