Elementary OS 6 Beta 2 comes about five weeks after the first beta release and it’s here to polish and clean up the installer UI and improve the detection of disk drives, as well as error handling when elementary OS fails to install on certain systems. In addition to the installer improvements, this beta release introduces more apps as Flatpaks, including Calculator, Camera, Document Viewer, Screenshot, Tasks, and Web. The team plans to turn more of their default apps into Flatpaks before the final release of elementary OS 6.
