System76 Releases COSMIC Alpha Desktop - It's Looking Quite Interesting
System76 today is releasing an alpha build of Pop!_OS 24.04 that is built atop Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and making it very interesting is that it includes the alpha version of their Rust-written COSMIC desktop environment
It has all the usual features one would expect from a compositor including fractional scaling and being able to cope with NVIDIA hybrid graphics. The alpha release of COSMIC is off to a nice start but some features missing like the copy/paste not working with their text editor. COSMIC is off to a nice start and those wanting to learn more or give the alpha ISO a whirl can find the details on System76.com.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
