Raspberry Pi released a fresh version of its free computer system before the next major update this summer. For better security, users can lock their screens with Ctrl-Alt-L or through the shutdown menu. The company fixed a problem where someone could bypass a locked screen through command lines, giving separate login options for desktop and console access.
A new Printers app replaces the old Python program with a cleaner look that makes printer setup easier to understand. Touchscreen users gained more control with options to choose between mouse-like taps or native touch features like screen swipes for scrolling pages. The latest update runs on Linux kernel 6.12 with a stable window manager that works well after much testing.
Screen keyboard users with many monitors can pick which screen shows their typing pad. The taskbar starts faster thanks to behind-the-scenes work that speeds up boot time. Users can update through terminal commands, sudo apt update, followed by sudo apt full-upgrade, answering yes when asked about changes. People wanting fresh installations can download Raspberry Pi Imager from the software page.
