Pop!_OS to ship with COSMIC, a modified GNOME Desktop |
|
System76 sells computers bundled with their custom, Ubuntu-based operating system, called Pop!_OS. System76 is experimenting with a modified GNOME desktop experience based on feedback from their community. For instance: "We separated the Activities Overview into two distinct views: Workspaces and Applications. As before, the Workspaces view will allow you to view your open windows and workspaces, while the Applications view will open an application picker. The latter’s new dark background looks slick as a tuxedo and makes it easier to scan for your desired application. During user testing, we found that even GNOME veterans have a tendency to pause in their task after opening the Activities Overview. The split views allow you to access the application picker in a single click, while the cleaner UI design prevents visual distraction." The new desktop style is called COSMIC and is expected to ship with Pop!_OS 21.04 in June of 2021. Further details are available in the company's blog post about COSMIC. |
