The developers at System76 working on their Rust-written COSMIC desktop environment catering to their in-house, Ubuntu-derived Pop!_OS Linux distribution have provided their latest monthly status update on the desktop effort.
In recent weeks some of the COSMIC desktop enhancements have included:
- Display mirroring support for the COSMIC desktop is nearly complete.
- Pop!_OS 24.40 packages are now being built for ARM64.
- The "ultra fast" COSMIC App Store is nearly implemented. There is ongoing polishing to address user experience issues:
- The COSMIC Files file manager has added GNOME Virtual File-System (GVFS) integration for handling external storage and network shares.
- COSMIC Greeter integration with logind.
- COSMIC Edit now supports CRLF-encoded files.
- The ability to drag-and-drop text and images has been added for COSMIC Files.
- Clipboard support has been added for the Launcher and App Library.
- A generic context menu widget has been added to Libcosmic.
- Many fixes and other improvements throughout this Rust-written open-source desktop environment.
