Some of the more interesting points:

  • transition from dbus-daemon to dbus-broker
  • package-agnostic App Center
  • simplified installation experience that dramatically reduces complexity during partitioning and storage configuration
  • new onboarding experience that moves personalization and system setup into a dedicated first-boot experience. Rather than asking users to make every decision during installation
  • on-device speech-to-text engine integrated as a native desktop input method, providing a foundation for fast, private, and offline voice interaction

Just call it stonks and IPO.
