System76 Launches New COSMIC-Powered Thelio Mira High-Performance Linux PC
Powered by the latest Pop!_OS Linux 24.04 LTS operating system with the Rust-based COSMIC desktop environment, the new Thelio Mira PC introduces a new design that conveniently places front ports alongside a high-quality tempered glass facade.
The new generation Thelio Mira can be configured with up to an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (Granite Ridge) CPU with 16 cores, 32 threads, and up to 5.7 GHz boost speeds, up to 32 GB NVIDIA Geforce RTX 5090 or AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GPUs, up to 192 GB DDR5 3600 MHz, and up to 28 TB of SSD storage.

I replaced GNOME with the new COSMIC, and it feels like the future of Linux
GNOME has been my default Ubuntu desktop for years. It’s stable, polished, and widely supported. If you install Ubuntu, GNOME is simply part of the deal. It works well enough that most people never feel the need to replace it. But lately, I keep hearing whispers about something new: the COSMIC desktop. Originally developed by System76 for Pop!_OS, COSMIC has evolved into a completely new desktop environment built from scratch. Not a theme, not a fork, but an entirely new stack, largely written in Rust and designed around modern Linux workflows. Naturally, my curiosity won.

The System76 Thelio Mira is the new Linux desktop workstation to beat
System76 builds desktops and laptops designed for desktop Linux, and now the company has revealed its latest high-performance desktop. The new Thelio Mira has a redesigned case, AMD Ryzen 9 processors, and the usual best-in-class Linux support.
Even though the update case design might be more sleek and refined, it now just looks like every other desktop PC—it reminds me the most of HP’s typical PC tower design. That might be a selling point for System76’s target market, but it is a bit disappointing to see the distinct hardware design fade away. It's fully manufactured in the United States, though.
