It&#8217;s the beating heart of the system, so it&#8217;s naturally what people gravitate toward first when recommending a system. However, the desktop environment is also a huge part of it; if the distro is the core, then the desktop environment is what people use to interact with it, and a bad environment can put people off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">If you&#8217;ve ever tried out Pop!_OS, you&#8217;ll have also seen its COSMIC desktop environment. They&#8217;re both made by system 76, so they&#8217;re often developed in tandem to benefit one another. Now, COSMIC is getting a new &#8220;frosted glass&#8221; desktop theme, and it&#8217;s making me wonder if sticking with Plasma is the best idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The news broke on system76&#8217;s CEO, Carl Richell&#8217;s, X feed, where he showed off the new frosted style. From a cursory glance, it brings me back to the look and feel that Windows Vista had back in the day. Say whatever you want about Vista&#8217;s performance or how it was managed, but I adore how it looked, and I love how this COSMIC theme looks too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">If you&#8217;re on Pop!_OS 24.04, you can grab the update right now on the COSMIC store. Once you&#8217;ve got it, just log out and back in again, and it should appear in your desktop&#8217;s settings, ready to roll. Now, if you&#8217;ll excuse me, I just found a new excuse to give Pop!_OS a try&#8230;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"anp-pro-aside\" aria-label=\"context\">\n<p class=\"anp-pro-kicker\">Why it matters<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">News like this often changes audience expectations and competitors\u2019 plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">When one player makes a move, others usually react \u2014 it is worth reading the event in context.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"anp-pro-aside\" aria-label=\"outlook\">\n<p class=\"anp-pro-kicker\">What to look out for next<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The full picture will become clear in time, but the headline already shows the dynamics of the industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Further statements and user reactions will add to the story.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The topic Pop!_OS&#8217;s COSMIC just got a frosted glass desktop style, and it looks amazing is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.
