Will we be able to upgrade to v1.0 in place?

Given they have a massive install base on PopOS GNOME that they’ve targeted for use friendliness, I think they’re going to plan for an in place upgrade.

Pure speculation though

Looking good! Has there been any word on the beta track?

According to the releases so far, and how far ahead the code has come, and how many bugs it has still, i’d say that 1.0 will probably come around August or September. I’m running Cosmic and it’s still not there, too many rough edges.

I had cosmic running recently on one ssd and it was pretty solid for that short period of time. I’ll keep checking in!

Yeah, I’ve had a developer tell me that they’ve done most of the beta milestone already. There will be an Alpha 6, however, so the absolute earliest we could see Beta 1 is end of February, assuming Alpha 6 releases end of January, and they move into Beta after that with no delays.

COSMIC DE is really starting to look amazing. I can’t wait to daily drive it.
