System76's Pop!_OS seems to be one of the more popular Ubuntu remixes among tech-savvy Linux enthusiasts. That may mean that the bolder of them are about to break their computers, because finally, the beta of version 24.04 is here, along with the beta version of the company's COSMIC desktop.

GNOME is a Linux desktop environment that you either love or hate. I've used GNOME and GNOME-based desktops for years and have always fallen on the side of "love." With each new release, I always find a feature or two (or a bit of extra polish) that makes me smile. The release of GNOME 49 is no different. Although there might not be any game-changing features for this release (I'm guessing the developers are holding out until the big 5-0), there's just enough to make it a worthy upgrade from 48.

KDE Plasma 6.4.0 introduces enhanced window tiling capabilities, improved accessibility features, and refinements in dark mode, furthering its evolution as a leading desktop.
