I am currently evaluating Arch Linux (not my first rodeo, TBH) and Cosmic OS. It really does seem as though @system76.bsky.social has done an awesome job!

Yes, it is still a beta, but you'd hardly know it. It's fully functioning and snappy.

Upgrading to @system76.bsky.social Cosmic beta. Love their UI approach, eager to experience this next incarnation!

Thanks so much! We're really hyped on our end too for people to see what COSMIC is all about. Great things are happening!

I love this laptop. Had the opportunity to work on it for a few weeks and it's a pleasure to use. Wonderful screen. Wonderful keyboard. AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 & NVIDIA RTX 5070 make a perfect combination. I like my 14" Darter but I can feel the tug from this one.

Sure is! Just open up the terminal and run this command:

pop-upgrade release upgrade -f

The Oryx Pro is modern, powerful, and a solid build. A wonderful engineering and gaming laptop! Learn more and order here: s76.co/COSMIC_Oryx_...

See this playlist to catch up on what’s new with the Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS beta. s76.co/Pop!_Feature...

With the interface rebuilt in Rust code, it's now more stable, secure, and will become even more performant as we continue to optimize COSMIC in its current state.

Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS provides a better hybrid graphics experience, especially for this laptop. With the new COSMIC desktop environment, the GPU remains off until you specify to use it for the app you're launching.

The Oryx Pro will be the first laptop preloaded with the Pop!_OS beta. Also equipped:
-New 2K display (16:10, 240Hz)
-NVIDIA RTX 5070 graphics
-Our fastest mobile CPU offering
-Silver color, aluminum build

Thank you so much! Glad you're loving it. We'll pass this along 😇

Oh look, it's left-aligned 😂
cosmic-panel would be the spot! github.com/pop-os/cosmi...

The best desktop you could ask for from @system76.bsky.social it is the future for Linux desktop!

Use the Launcher to open apps, navigate the desktop, and find files. You can also search the web and use a calculator! All with a press of the Super key.

Pop!_OS beta is ready for testing!

Use COSMIC on your favorite Linux distro:

Woooo!

"I do find it interesting how System76 develop their own hardware, and run their own Linux distribution and now they're firmly getting into the Desktop Environment game with COSMIC designed for other vendors (distros and other organisations) to customize it."

Had to make sure our big day went off without a hitch!
...and then fix the hitches. But it was worth it!

We're excited to hear what you think of it!

It's the 25th somewhere! (here!) And it's released!!

The beta for Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with COSMIC is now available for testing: COSMIC Alpha users should perform any remaining updates.

Pop!_OS users can run this command: pop-upgrade release upgrade -f

Or install COSMIC for your favorite distro: s76.co/FnfKcbYD

Use workspaces horizontally or vertically, per-display or spanning all displays. Pin any number of them to make them static. Float or tile windows per-workspace.

Windows can snap to corners, gravitate to screen edges, and be dragged from any area using Super+Left Click. Stack any window (floating or tiled) to combine apps together like tabs in a web browser.

COSMIC includes an integrated tiling windows manager. When mastered, tiling feels incredibly fast.

Theming integrates with any app that follows the COSMIC App Template. Choose whatever colors you like, and the palette automatically adjusts for text contrast. Make corners square, rounded square, or round. Make spacing more condensed or more comfortable. Save your theme and share with your friends.

Panels (Dock, Taskbar, minimalist) allow you to use the UI you’re most comfortable with. Add or remove apps or applets, change where they’re placed, and orient your panels on any screen edge.
