System76 COSMIC Desktop 1.10.0 Ships GPU Rendering by Default with Screenshot Gallery and Terminal Tabs
System76 quietly released epoch-1.10.0 of its COSMIC desktop environment, tagging the update on GitHub without any announcement. The most active repository was cosmic-comp, which brought an overhaul of cursor auto-hide so the pointer disappears while typing and measures its idle timer from the last pointer event. cosmic-store received the largest feature bump with eleven commits focused on a screenshot gallery, a preview-image cache, and threaded decoding of large images. Meanwhile, wGPU rendering turned on by default in the launcher, the terminal gained keyboard-driven tab movement, and settings added a first drawing-tablet page alongside a WireGuard confirmation flow.
