The company System76, which develops the Linux distribution Pop!_OS, has published the release of the COSMIC Desktop 1.2.0. Packages for COSMIC 1.2.0 are available in the Pop!_OS 24.04 distribution and are expected soon in Fedora, NixOS, Arch Linux, openSUSE, Aeyrin OS, Redox, and CachyOS. The code is written in Rust and distributed under the GPLv3 (applications) and MPL-2.0 (libraries) licenses.<\/p>\n
COSMIC is evolving as a universal project, not tied to any specific distribution, and complies with Freedesktop specifications. \nThe interface in COSMIC is built using the Iced library, which employs safe types, modular architecture, and a reactive programming model, and also offers an architecture familiar to developers acquainted with the declarative interface building language Elm. Several rendering engines are provided, supporting Vulkan, Metal, DX12, OpenGL 2.1+, and OpenGL ES 2.0+. Developers are offered a ready-to-use set of widgets, the ability to create asynchronous handlers, and utilize adaptive layout of interface elements based on window and screen size. <\/p>\n
In addition to using Rust, notable features of COSMIC include hybrid tiled window layout modes and stacked window anchoring (grouping windows like browser tabs), which can be enabled in conjunction with virtual desktops. The project is also developing a compositor server<\/a> cosmic-comp based on Wayland. <\/p>\n
