If all goes well, we can release the alpha by the end of March
I hope it all goes well!
The NixOS relationship is pretty awesome.

Community Rules
Follow the Code of Conduct
All posts on pop_os must adhere to the Pop!_OS community Code of Conduct. https://github.com/pop-os/code-of-conduct
Be helpful
Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.
Critique should be constructive
We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.
This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.
Don't post malicious "advice"
It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.
Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.
No personal attacks
Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.
No hate speech
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

Looks great. I’m excited for this project.
I just ran cosmic-edit and was shocked at how quickly it loads. Must be ~30ms between selecting it and it's fully loaded.
Finally
Will it support Wayland and Fractional Scaling??
It is Wayland only, and fractional scaling is already supported by our toolkit since the beginning. There's little we can do about GTK3 and GTK4 applications though, which do not support fractional scaling.
I notice that cosmic doesn't yet work with my drawing tablet as in the cursor doesn't move, are there plans to get that working by the time of the alpha release? I also noticed that none of the cosmic apps close when clicking it with the stylus while using the current pop desktop. @[email protected]
This is looking great!! One line is ambiguous: "From here, we can work towards an eventual 24.04 release over the summer."
Does this mean work, over the summer, toward an eventual release OR work toward a release that will take place over the summer?! Either way is exciting, but one of those versions is astonishing.
