Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS and COSMIC Epoch 1 will be release December 11th, 2025. Future Pop!_OS releases, starting with Pop!_OS 26.04 LTS, will now align with the Ubuntu LTS release timing (approximately two weeks after the Ubuntu release date).

    Great to see them get them get back on track. PopOS has been a holding pattern for a very long time.

    While this is an LTS release, they also say they will release 26.04 LTS in May (just 5 months after 24.04). So, clearly this is a bit of a final beta for that release, at least from a COSMIC desktop point of view.

    They are already shipping hardware with the new COSMIC, so things are usable now. I have no doubt though that there will be a lot of improvement over the next six months before 26.04 comes out.

    It will be really interesting to see where things go after 26.04 when they are not having to invest everything into just getting to the starting line. Will they continue to pour all this effort into COSMIC? It has a lot of potential.

    The largest item keeping me from swapping to COSMIC is the lack of HDR support. They stated it would be implemented before or at the 1.0 release. Has that already completed?

    I hope the performance significantly improves by then. Beta 1 felt pretty rough to me. And also, animations.
