A while back COSMIC entered its Alpha 1 and then Alpha 2 and now we have the CEO of System76 Carl Richell back on the show to talk about the project.

One notable comment (around minute 49) by Carl is that there will “soon” be a development option available for Pop!_OS 22.04 users to upgrade to 24.04 where some GNOME applications will be replaced by their COSMIC equivalents.

Also, Carl says he hopes Beta 1 will be released in January 2025. Until then, there will be a new Alpha every last Thursday of the month.
