Exploring Cosmic Desktop: A Detailed First Look
Cosmic desktop (cosmic-epoch) is a new desktop environment being developed by computer manufacturer System76 for the Linux distribution Pop OS. It's been under development for some time and written from scratch. Cosmic desktop primarily developed using Rust as primary language, with popular libraries such as iced and libcosmic. The major driving factor for System76 is to move away from GTK-based GNOME for their ecosystem of apps and software.
That said, I managed to install the dev version of this brand new Cosmic desktop. I thought of giving you a tour of this fresh desktop environment.

System76 Is Poised to Cause a COSMIC Shift In the Linux Desktop Space
System76, maker of the popular Pop!_OS Linux distro, is poised to cause a massive shift in the Linux desktop space in the coming months.
Pop!_OS (Pop or Pop OS from here on, because that spelling is horrible) is a popular distro based on Ubuntu and designed specifically for System76’s hardware. Like any distro, however, Pop can be installed on any computer compatible with Linux and used by countless people who have never owned a System76 laptop.
