Floating windows, UI implementation, and compositor improvements for the new COSMIC desktop environment.

Notable changes:

  • Tracking improvements. For example, if you use the launcher to launch an application and then switch workspaces, it will still launch in the workspace you opened it from;
  • Supported the ext-session-lock protocol, which authenticates the user and informs the compositor when the session should be unlocked
  • XDG activation and DBus activation support
  • work on HDR
  • Ongoing work to package COSMIC on NixOS: tracking issue

      Oh, I’m not rushing anyone. I’ve just been anticipating this DE for a long while. I’m very excited for it to be released. I’ve seen some previews and it looks freaking amazing.
