The installer now supports dual‑boot and full offline install. Hold ⌥ while clicking Continue with Install pearOS selected in the installer to enable these modes.
IMPORTANT: When using the offline installer, do not select BTRFS for the root filesystem – the system will not boot. Leave the default ext4 selection instead.
A new set of core apps arrives in this release: Calculator, To‑Do, Contacts, Notes and Calendar, so you can stay organised using native pearOS tools.
The desktop gains the new pearOS Notch and a wave of visual fixes: improved LiquidGel rules, more consistent rounded corners and adjusted window controls.
Wayland support is improved, and new NVIDIA drivers plus QEMU guest utils bring a smoother experience on both real hardware and virtual machines.
The close button now hides apps instead of quitting them completely, matching the familiar “bitten fruit” behaviour. Hover states on the close / minimize / maximize buttons make their status much clearer.
We fixed the Launcher dark icon, corrected several window border issues and tuned LiquidGel behaviour for a more coherent look.
The download quota exceeded issue for Piri has been fixed, so the assistant can be downloaded reliably again.
Some Wi‑Fi cards may still not work correctly, the automatic theme is not yet implemented, and the pearOS Notch may not run perfectly smoothly yet (a fix is expected in 26.4). For other bugs, please use the Issues tab in the repository.
