If all goes well, we can release the alpha by the end of March
Now Available on NixOS!
COSMIC Terminal joins a long list of COSMIC DE projects that have been packaged for NixOS! While COSMIC DE will be the flagship desktop for Pop!_OS, it’s designed and architected for distros to build their own custom, branded user experiences. Details for distro packaging will be released at the same time as the alpha.
Sometimes if feel like they are wasting their time and effort on things like terminal, text editor, etc. We dont need those in a DE. There are already some amazing terminals and text editors and such. They should focus most of their time on DE stuff like the window manager, dock,settings, etc. And create a great minimal DE with great functionality.
Yeah. I get that line of thought. But what they’re making looks solid and has a coherence that feels appropriate for a branded distribution. I probably wouldn’t make the same decisions but everything Pop!_OS feels like it’s moving in the right direction.
I don’t think it will be worth it for them in the long run and will result in a loss of quality.
