| System76's Pop!_OS Linux to create Rust based desktop They are leaving Gnome after being a gnome for so many years System76's Pop!_OS Linux distribution already has their own "COSMIC" desktop that is based on GNOME but apparently it has had enough and wants to move to a Rust-based desktop. A Reddit discussion over the possibility of seeing a KDE flavor of Pop!_OS, revealed the more unexpected news that the outfit was working on its "own desktop." System76 engineer and Pop!_OS maintainer Michael Murphy "mmstick" commented that System76 will be its own desktop. When further poked about whether that meant a GNOME fork, the response was "No it is its own thing written in Rust." System76 follows a fight between Pop!_OS and GNOME developers over their approach to theming and customisations. Murphy wrote that it currently had a desktop environment that is a collection of GNOME Shell extensions that break every GNOME Shell release. https://fudzilla.com/news/53831-syst...-based-desktop |
