System76，一家Linux电脑和Pop!_OS发行版开发者，正在庆祝其20周年，并取得重大进展：发布了搭载全新COSMIC桌面环境的Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS。经过三年的开发，COSMIC代表着超越他们先前潜力的突破。这不仅仅是一次更新，而是一个为开源社区构建的完整桌面环境，旨在模块化、适应性强，并鼓励进一步创新。System76 将COSMIC视为未来20年Linux桌面演进的基础。 Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS完全通过System76硬件销售资助，现已可用，现有22.04 LTS用户的升级将于2026年1月推出。CEO Carl Richell鼓励用户探索COSMIC并为Linux桌面的未来做出贡献。

Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS，搭载Cosmic桌面环境，已由System76发布。Hacker News用户的初步反应出乎意料地积极。一位用户，之前持怀疑态度，现在将Cosmic作为日常驱动，赞扬其强大的窗口平铺功能，同时也承认对由一家公司支持的桌面环境长期可行性的担忧。另一位用户表达了积极的情绪，表示他们更喜欢平铺窗口，并认为Cosmic“很棒”，但希望有更多的自定义选项，而无需像Hyprland那样复杂的配置。总而言之，讨论强调Cosmic是一个充满希望的桌面环境，正在获得关注，尤其是在寻求具有完整桌面体验的平铺窗口管理的用户的群体中。

epoch /ĕp′ək, ē′pŏk″/
noun
the beginning of a distinctive period in the history of someone or something.

If you’re ambitious enough, or maybe just crazy enough, there eventually comes a time when you realize you’ve reached the limits of current potential, and must create something completely new if you’re to go further.

This year, System76 turned twenty. For twenty years we have shipped Linux computers. For seven years we’ve built the Pop!_OS Linux distribution. Three years ago it became clear we had reached the limit of our current potential and had to create something new. Today, we break through that limit with the release of Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with the COSMIC Desktop Environment.

Today is special not only in that it’s the culmination of over three years of work, but even more so in that System76 has built a complete desktop environment for the open source community. We’re proud of this contribution to the open source ecosystem. COSMIC is built on the ethos that the best open source projects enable people to not only use them, but to build with them. COSMIC is modular and composable. It’s the flagship experience for Pop!_OS in its own way, and can be adapted by anyone that wants to build their own unique user experience for Linux.

Thank you for your patience while we built COSMIC. We know it’s been a long ride, and appreciate you taking it with us. Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS doesn’t feel like moving forward three years. It feels like leaping forward a decade. This day marks the foundation for our next twenty years and the first of what will be many rapid innovations.

And thank you to System76 customers. COSMIC is entirely funded by System76 hardware sales. Not only are you getting the best Linux hardware on the planet, you're investing in the future of the Linux desktop that we all love.

I hope you love what we’ve built for you. Now go out there and create. Push the limits, make incredible things, and have fun doing it!
