System76’s COSMIC Desktop Environment Makes Progress
System76, a computer manufacturer specializing in the sale of notebooks, desktops, and servers, is a strongly Linux-faced company utilizing free and open-source software and offering its own Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, Pop!_OS.
About a year and a half ago, due to a heated discussion between the developers of Pop!_OS and GNOME, System76 decided to go its way and develop a desktop environment from scratch, COSMIC, which to better suits its vision and understanding of functionality.
Recent desktop environment updates have been exciting as more and more COSMIC is beginning to take shape.

System76’s COSMIC Desktop Already Looks Out of this World
It’s not that I doubt the company’s software development prowess or engineering nous (the stellar success of Pop!_OS with its homegrown embellishments prove they’re capable). It’s more that desktop environments are beastly, sprawling, labyrinthine affairs.
But judging by the progress they’re making thus far, it seems there’s little for me to worry about!
