    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    System76 are making a bit of a splash today, ahead of the Alpha release of their new desktop environment named COSMIC.

    They told me that COSMIC is still planned to have an Alpha release in late July, although that’s still just an estimate it could be pushed back if there’s issues.

    The open-ended ‘O’ logo mark not only represents a display, but also signifies an unwavering commitment to open source, an invitation for community, and vast possibility through customization.

    Beneath it, the System76 blip in an orange-red gradient resembles a keyboard with customized LEDs, representing what’s possible with COSMIC.

    COSMIC offers the freedom to put your best foot forward across workflow, navigation, theming, updates, security — and stability, thanks to its memory-safe Rust code.

    On top of that, they’ve revealed the COSMIC Freedom Sale where you can get some big discounts on Desktops, Laptops, and Keyboards.

      No, it is not based on Gnome. It is a full DE environment written in rust.

      Not to minimize their work, which is actually amazing!

      you wouldn’t know because…

      Still based on GNOME.

      you don’t have a single clue about what they are actually doing.
