The Endless OS team has released a new stable version, Endless OS 3.9.1, bringing updated software and hardware support, such as NVIDIA drivers upgrade to version 450.80 for new graphics cards.

While Endless OS is a Linux-based operating system with simplified and streamlined experience that runs on its own customized desktop environment forked from GNOME 3.

And Endless OS uniqueness stems from its use of a read-only root file system managed by OSTree with app bundles overlaid on top, instead of employing a traditional Linux package management system.

What's New in Endless OS 3.9.1 Release?



Endless OS 3.9.1 has the virtualbox-guest-utils package upgraded and enables 3D acceleration by default when you import downloadable OVF images of Endless OS on VMWare or Virtualbox.



And some issues reported in the previous version, Endless OS 3.9.0 release, has been resolved in the latest release, like the keyboard support issue on Asus laptops and calendar/notifications menu issue, which if its size is a bit big for the screen, would fail to display. Other changes in Endless OS 3.9.1 includes:

  • Parental Controls app Updated to simplify the configuration and installation restrictions.
  • Fixes for issues with installing or updating apps and OS upgrade from USB drive using the App Center.
  • Automatic removal of Unused Flatpak runtimes (marked as end-of-life) during updates.


Additionally, the LibreOffice icons have been updated to official/upstream versions, and the ISO image of Endless OS 3.9.1 doesn't take 90 seconds to boot as was the case with the earlier ISO images.

How to Download or Upgrade to Endless OS 3.9.1



Endless OS 3.9.1 images are available for download on Desktop, Virtual Machine, and Raspberry Pi 4 from the official website.

And the Hack application is now available outside Endless OS on Flathub Linux App Store, which means you can run Hack app on any GNOME-based Linux system with GNOME Shell version 3.36 or higher and Flatpak version 1.8.2 and above.
