Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS alpha

A New Desktop Environment

We aim to liberate the computer with a new desktop environment powerful enough to build custom OS experiences — for users, developers, and makers of any device with a screen.

Alpha 1: What to Expect

As the first alpha version of COSMIC Epoch 1, it is incomplete. You’ll most certainly find bugs. Testing and bug reports are welcome and appreciated. New feature requests will be considered for Epoch 2, COSMIC’s second release.

Try COSMIC Epoch 1 (alpha 1) on the Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS alpha.
