System76 Releases COSMIC Alpha 6 Desktop Environment
System76 Releases COSMIC Alpha 6 Desktop Environment
Why dont they focus on hardware and drivers?
The last thing we need is another DE
I can't wait to try the fedora spin
I tried this out for fun a few releases ago. It was a mess. I've kind of lost track on why this is even a thing anymore, but anyone involved want to weigh in?
Its in alpha, of course its a mess 😅
My experiences with pop haven't been amazing (just always ran into small quirks and issues that shouldnt be a thing, but I haven't messed with it all that much), but I'm pretty happy for there to be another big polished desktop environment with resources behind it, I think it makes the linux ecosystem better :)
Its written in Rust, is a completely new code base so not held back by tech debt, and is a clean DE while still being fairly customizable even now.
I personally don't care why system76 felt the need to code a new DE from scratch, Im just glad they did it. It has given us a whole new ecosystem of GUI toolkits, apps, etc. for linux written in Rust.
Give it a try. We are close to being finished. I don't even know why anyone would think this isn't a thing.
i think COSMIC is shaping up amazing and that you and your team are doing an amazing job, for what it's worth
