From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They probably fixed all the bugs they considered essential, and the rest is just nice to have fixes that can be moved to the next cycle if necessary (and they still have a week to work on them before release, although they might be careful not to introduce severe bugs now).
The general idea with this approach is that it doesn't make sense to block a release on a few bugs worked on by only a subset of available developers and having the rest idle - the project can be finished faster by moving the remaining tasks over to the next release and accepting the bugs in the meantime.
Especially if it's just another alpha release. They could have 20 more of those, for all I know.
Can't wait! I'm already using alpha 1 as my daily driver
Oh wow, I didn't expect another release so quickly! Props to the COSMIC team! I can't recall where the roadmap for the features and their targeted releases went, but I hope we can get Night Light/Blue Light filtering soon.
I also did not know they had a Mastodon account, thanks for the shout so that I could give 'em a follow.
That's great! What's Cosmic Alpha 2?
New desktop environment being made by the guys who make PopOS. It is currently in alpha version 2
I love cosmic a ton, I wonder how well alpha 2 will function, for me it was mostly usable unless I wanted full screen
Question: if I download the current alpha, does it only contain Cosmic, or also the normal Gnome DE?
It also has Cosmic. No Gnome session, but Gnome apps.
