The Reg tests out Pop OS 24.04 with 'Epoch 1' of COSMIC
System76's Rust-built COSMIC desktop 1.0 and Pop!_OS 24.04 deliver a responsive, modern desktop but face installation and hardware-driver compatibility challenges.
Pop!_OS 24.04 beta ships a new Rust-built, Wayland-only COSMIC desktop with native apps, offering speed and polish but remaining experimental and potentially unstable.
