System76's COSMIC desktop is in *alpha stages of development*, and I couldn't resist taking it for a spin on the upcoming Fedora 42 Beta!

Although the Rust-based COSMIC desktop is not even in beta, it provides a decent experience. The fluidity, sleek visuals and built-in tiling makes it a project to look for in 2025.

Take a look at what COSMIC desktop environment looks like on Fedora 42 Linux in this video.
