Exploring System76’s new Rust-based desktop environment

A few months ago, System76 announced that they would be developing a new desktop environment based on the Rust programming language called COSMIC.

Their idea is to create a desktop environment that is similar to the one that is currently available for the Pop!_OS operating system, but with a different focus.

System76's objective is to create something that is faster, more customizable, and free of the limitations of the GNOME desktop environment, and let's face it, we're all curious how this desktop will look.

This post will explore how this new desktop environment is shaping up.

There's not a ton to see here yet, and it's clearly very early days. Still, it's interesting to see the beginnings.
