COSMIC Epoch 1.5 Brings More Fixes & Improvements To System76's Desktop

([Desktop] 4 Hours Ago COSMIC Epoch 1.5)


The System76 and Pop!_OS developers continue quickly iterating on their Rust-based COSMIC desktop environment.

Just a week since their [1]COSMIC Epoch 1.4 with COSMIC Monitor improvements and fixes , COSMIC Epoch 1.5 is now available. COSMIC 1.5 now makes use of EXIF orientation data for the COSMIC background handling, the COSMIC Compositor fixes an issue with Chromium-based apps breaking with below 1.0 fractional scaling, better handling by the compositor during GPU resets, and the COSMIC Greeter can now use the cosmic-keymap-unstable-v1 Wayland protocol.

COSMIC Epoch 1.5 also brings various fixes to COSMIC Panel, including for the recently added Frosted Glass effect. There is also a COSMIC Panel fix for high CPU usage when the screen is locked.

Plus there are a wide variety of other fixes in COSMIC Epoch 1.5 as outlined on [2]GitHub .
