That was rather painless. Now let's see what's new/broken/fixed/etc.
#popOs
2026... Definitely year of the #Linux Desktop...
And something tells me the new #Cosmic desktop environment that now comes with @system76's latest #PopOS may be a game changer
Only had half an hour this weekend to give it a try via liveUSB... but it was smooth as hell, fast, good looking, efficient... Can't wait for the Xmas break to install it and dive in deeper
And #kudos to System76's devs... reimaging the Linux Desktop and implement it in #rustlang... #awesome!
Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS delivers a great desktop experience!
Ayer saqué un video más comentando que análisis en si de la distribución #PopOS. Paso a resumir algunos puntos.
1. De arranque me dio un problema con el bluetooth de mi laptop, mismo que mirando en reddit es común en varios ordenadores.
2. Con esta combinación entre distribución, sus propios ordenadores y laptops y su propio entorno de escritorio, probablemente le va a dar a #GNULinux un salto de calidad. Es decir, el consumidor que normalmente compra laptops o pc, no va a tener problemas (en principio) con Nvidia por ejemplo, ya que ellos tienen su propia ISO adecuada a estas gráficas que por cierto pesa casi 1gb comparada con la ISO para AMD o Intel.
3. El nivel de personalización que viene por defecto es sencillamente brutal, es como si hubieran recogido las necesidades de los “gnomeros” y lo hubieran montado todo por defecto, probablemente no vayas a tener que buscar alguna extensión porque ya viene casi todo lo que se puede retocar.
4. En cuanto al tema del gaming, pues está demás decir que, si antes era de las distribuciones que más comparaban los creadores de contenido angloparlante, ahora con su propio entorno de escritorio, optimizado para los ordenadores que ellos mismos te venden y sumado a que puedes elegir la ISO que quieras, pues va a ser un salto de calidad muy bueno.
#PopOS está empezando algo que probablemente, si es que todo sigue creciendo, puede que la vuelvan una de las mejores derivadas de #Ubuntu.
El tiempo dirá. La he dejado instalada en mi laptop AMD y la iré usando y monitoreando el tema del bluetooth.
Nos vemos.
Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS ships with the first stable COSMIC desktop, built in Rust and funded independently by System76 hardware sales. 🧩
Based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, it improves tiling, hybrid graphics, and app performance, while still showing early bugs in audio and screen recording. 🔍

I answer myself... to switch between vertical/horizontal split view inside COSMIC Terminal, press:
Ctrl Shift Arrow
..easy 😛

https://blog.system76.com/post/pop-os-letter-from-our-founder la nouvelle version de Pop OS (l'ubuntu custo de System76) est arrivée, avec un nouvel environnement de bureau (Cosmic Epoch) entièrement écrit en Rust. Le futur nous dira s'il sera un concurrent sérieux à Gnome et KDE mais en tout cas ils mettent le coeur à l'ouvrage. Bon en pratique il va falloir encore du temps avant qu'il soit vraiment stable, mais je pense que ca vaut le coup de suivre ce projet.

#Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS Released: A Letter From Our Founder
https://blog.system76.com/post/pop-os-letter-from-our-founder
Decided the newest Pop!_OS isn't working out for me. It might be my laptop being finicky with Linux in general, but also run into a bunch of bugs (some I haven't had on Linux in years, such as audio). Also removing one file manager feature I actually use/on every other distro (a favorites option) felt like a deal-breaker for me.
Thus, I opted to go back to Linux Mint, what I mostly used for quite awhile. Figure I can just customize it to look more Mac-like (ie put a dock back).
Acabei de saber que a System76 lançou ontem, dia 11, o Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS. Agora ele não utiliza mais o GNOME como base: o novo COSMIC foi desenvolvido do zero. Cheguei a testar o Alpha 1 e o Alpha 6, e usei o Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS (COSMIC baseado em GNOME) por um ano. Em breve vou baixar a imagem ISO do sistema e testá-lo no meu PC principal. Então, 2026 terá novidades no meu canal!

System76 releases Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS and the final version of the COSMIC Desktop Environment!

Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS released with COSMIC Desktop Epoch 1
System76 has recently released the most anticipated Pop!_OS version 24.04 that has a long term support policy. This release gives you a desktop environment crafted by System76 themselves, which is the COSMIC Desktop Environment.
However, the days of which the COSMIC Desktop is in the beta testing stage are over, with System76 releasing a blog article that stated that the desktop environment has reached the final stages with the release of the first stable version. This is in coordination with System76 celebrating its twentieth birthday, which started in 2005, when they sold laptops with Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger installed, then creating their own Linux distribution on June 2017, which we know today as Pop!_OS.
You can see the official blog article here:
Read the articleThis version of Pop!_OS incorporates a new experience for the COSMIC desktop environment and introduces official support for ARM64 computers, such as the flagship Thelia Astra workstation. Additionally, the hybrid graphics support has been added to enhance battery life for laptops that provide both the integrated graphics and the discrete graphics card, and easy installation with full disk encryption has been added.
As if they’re not enough, System76 has also implemented the “Refresh Install” feature, which lets you reinstall the core operating system, while keeping your files and your Flatpak applications. Currently, you can only use this feature when either holding the Spacebar on boot or booting to ISO, but you’ll be able to use it within the system settings.
To make your desktop more intuitive (especially your programming productivity), window tiling has become more intuitive with the usage of the mouse or the keyboard. A simple toggle in the panel will trigger tiling, which you can then control using keyboard shortcuts. You can place individual tiles per display and per workspace; for example, a display for mail, a display for writing code, and a display for building and testing your program.
Workspaces have become much more powerful, with horizontal or vertical workspaces, individual workspaces per display, and pinned workspaces. Multiple display users can also enjoy smoother experience, especially when mixing and matching both the standard displays and the high-DPI displays. Now, display settings have become more permanent, ensuring that you don’t have to configure your display once you connect it. Additionally, you won’t lose a single window when you disconnect one of your displays, because they’ll move to a remaining display.
Of course, there are many more improvements made to the Linux distribution itself, so why not try it out? Download Pop!_OS 24.04 today by clicking on the below link:
