The source tweet from Carl Richell:

COSMIC and Pop 24.04 Beta will be released September 25th.

I'm looking forward to COSMIC reaching beta and then hopefully a stable release :)

For me, it's mostly interesting because it brings automatic tiling to a desktop environment. System76 has previously implemented this as an extension for Gnome, but they haven't been too happy with that approach.

I think would also be good for the Linux Desktop community to have more than 2 strong desktop environments. Hopefully this would incentivize app developers to account for more than just a singe DE.
