elementary OS 8.1

For the first time we now also offer ARM64 builds for devices that boot with UEFI. This means you’ll be able to run OS 8.1 on M-series Apple Silicon and devices where you can load UEFI-supporting firmware like Raspberry Pi. This version of Linux also supports certain Qualcomm and Rockchip processors, for example. Many notebooks and tablets now ship with displays that aren’t quite HiDPI, but are more pixel dense than traditional displays. In OS 8, we only supported integer display scaling which left these devices in an awkward position with an interface that is either too large or too small. In OS 8.1, we now support fractional display scaling in the Secure Session.
