Following the December launch of Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS and the first major COSMIC desktop release, System76 software engineers have continued making improvements to their Rust-based desktop environment.

In the weeks since the COSMIC Epoch 1 release, there have been two point releases so far with continuing to roll out minor new features and fixes. Some of the latest COSMIC enhancements include:

With the COSMIC compositor there are now rounded window corners. All window corners can now be rounded and not limited to just COSMIC Apps. They can be squared if so desired via COSMIC Settings.

I've tried running it twice full-time and ended up going to Kubuntu. My bad on judging KDE Plasma from my experience with it when Plasma 5 was new. I just used Gnome all this time. A decade later KDE is actually what I was hoping Cosmic would become someday. Really polished up compared to early Plasma 5 days

I still keep pop_os on an old laptop to monitor progress. I like it. Just needs a lot more fleshing out

When Kubuntu craters again (and it will), try the Fedora KDE spin if you want to stick with a KDE desktop.

I've never had anything but trouble with Kubuntu and I've tried it several times over the last decade. Maybe they've got it stabilized, but I wouldn't bet on it.
