Linux hardware vendor System76 started promoting
its work on a Rust-based, Wayland
desktop environment
for its Pop!_OS
Ubuntu-derivative distribution almost two years
ago. On August 8, the company released an alpha version of the COSMIC desktop environment for
users to test out. While it has rough edges and missing features, it
is stable enough to get a good feel for what the finished product has
in store—and the initial results are promising.
