    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    While the holidays are quickly approaching, the System76 developers working on their Ubuntu-based Pop!_OS Linux distribution and new Rust-written COSMIC desktop environment haven’t been losing focus.

    December has been another busy month so far as they continue crafting this new modern desktop environment.

    A blog post now published by System76 shares their latest COSMIC progress as we approach the end of the year.

    COSMIC’s latest additions include the ability to manage windows via the mouse, more COSMIC Text Editor features, multi-monitor improvements, the Wallpaper Settings panel has been fully implemented, better support for multi-window applications, high resolution scroll events are now supported, and single instance application support has been wired up.

    The high-resolution scroll events support in the COSMIC compositor and Smithay are great to see merged as well as the multi-window and multi-monitor enhancements.

    Over on the Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS side, they’ve landed Pipewire 1.0, Wireplumber 0.4.17, the Mesa 23.3 graphics divers, and other updates.
