Fedora COSMIC Alpha 7 is now out on Fedora 41, 42 and 43! It may take time for the update to propagate across mirrors.
Hope everyone enjoys the latest changes from the COSMIC desktop!
#introduction I am Jeremy Soller.
I work at @system76 as Principal Engineer where I maintain our Linux distribution @pop_os_official, port @coreboot and open source embedded controller firmware to our laptops, work on the new desktop environment @COSMIC_desktop, and more!
I also am the creator and BDFL of a microkernel operating system primarily written in @rust called @redox. I am damn near crazy about #Rust and use it anywhere and everywhere!

A couple of moments ago, I finished reading the article by Rob O'Leary about the pervasive data collection done by Visual Studio Code. Now that I'm no longer an employee at Gitpod, I'm finally able to author a blog post freely about something that has been troubling me for quite
I'm working on the COSMIC alpha 7 packages for Fedora upstream. Just a few issues to iron out.
cosmic-edit and cosmic-files have issues with io-uring on s390x and ppc64le (sorry to those arches, but you're ruining it for the rest of us 😆 ). In order to fix it, we need to use bindgen, but that's broken too: https://github.com/tokio-rs/io-uring/issues/321
Other than that, all the packages have built successfully. Be on the lookout for when this gets resolved!
For those using my copr, everything has been updated to 7.
As much as I like the rust coreutils (mainly because they’re cross platform and I can have them on windows, which I have to use for work), I’m surprised that Ubuntu is the first major distribution to switch to them by default.
They aren’t fully conformant yet with the GNU test suite and that might give people a bad impression of the rust coreutils. Maybe it’ll be ironed out by 2025-10 though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There's a COSMIC Atomic spin too! https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/cosmic/
They're based on COSMIC alpha 6 but will be updated as we tag new releases.
There's a new Fedora spin in town :-) https://fedoraproject.org/spins/cosmic
Congrats to the @fedora project on their excellent Fedora Linux 42 release.
The Fedora COSMIC Spin provides the COSMIC Desktop Environment from System76. A modern desktop that features advanced functionality and a responsive design. With optional Auto-tiling, newly opened windows arrange themselves in a grid. Use tiled, classic "floating" windows, or a mix of both across all workspaces. Have fun customizing theme colors to your liking. Save your favorite themes to your desktop and share with your friends.

The "problem" is not singular, it's about 30 issues: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/?label_name[]=5.+Ratings+And+Reviews
Personally my biggest annoyance with the current system is that bad reviews never expire, even if they refer to issues that have been fixed in recent versions: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2181 (and that item's related issues)
