Pop!_OS 24.04 marks a major shift for System76, introducing the brand-new COSMIC desktop environment, built entirely in Rust for better performance, responsiveness, and long-term stability. In this video, we take a practical look at what’s new in Pop!_OS 24.04 and why this release feels different from previous versions.
You’ll see how the COSMIC desktop changes everyday workflow with integrated window tiling, stacking, and flexible workspaces that can be arranged horizontally or vertically. We also explore the new COSMIC launcher, native COSMIC apps, and the redesigned COSMIC Store that handles Flatpaks and DEB packages in one place.
This video also covers improved hybrid graphics support for laptops with integrated and dedicated GPUs, smoother performance across the system, and the new refresh-install feature that lets you reinstall Pop!_OS without losing your files or apps. If you’re coming from Pop!_OS 22.04 or considering switching from another Linux distribution, this overview will help you understand what makes Pop!_OS 24.04 special.
Whether you’re a developer, a power user, or just curious about the future of Linux desktops, Pop!_OS 24.04 and COSMIC represent a big step forward.
