Updates to the COSMIC desktop |
|
The Pop!_OS developers have been working on a custom desktop for their distribution. The new desktop is called COSMIC and is written in Rust, a language designed for both safety and speed. The developers have published updates on their progress and included screenshots of the young desktop environment in action. "COSMIC DE uses the Wayland display server, a program which communicates with the rest of your system to run your application, show it on-screen, and register user inputs. But Wayland is relatively new compared to the X11 display server, so some applications may not be compatible. That’s where XWayland comes in. The XWayland display server includes a compatibility layer for applications using X11 to run on Wayland instead. Since one of our engineers, Victoria, integrated XWayland into the cosmic-comp compositor, the engineering team has been testing how X11 applications like Firefox and Steam are faring on COSMIC DE." Additional information and highlights can be found in the project's blog post. |
