Pop!_OS release featuring COSMIC faces ongoing delays |
 |
It was nearly a year ago when System76 announced the new COSMIC desktop, a Wayland-only desktop written in Rust, would soon reach alpha status. At the time System76 also reported COSMIC would be the default desktop environment for Pop!_OS 24.04, replacing the distribution's GNOME desktop. It was an ambitious goal and, despite the developers aiming for a release date in the (North American) summer of 2024, the project has experienced delays. Typically, Pop!_OS publishes new stable releases a few weeks to two months after Ubuntu, its parent distribution. However, it's been eight months since Ubuntu 24.04 and over two months since the launch of Ubuntu 24.10. Meanwhile, the COSMIC desktop is still considered to be in its alpha development stage.
System76 has, so far, been silent on whether Pop!_OS will rebase to newer versions of Ubuntu (such as the upcoming 25.04 release), if they will eventually ship COSMIC on the aging 24.04 LTS base, or if the company will wait to rebase on Ubuntu 26.04 before officially shipping a release of Pop!_OS with the COSMIC desktop. |
