System76 today released COSMIC Epoch 1.10 as the newest incremental update to this Rust-based desktop developed in-step with their Pop!_OS Linux distribution.

One of the notable changes to COSMIC Epoch 1.10 is using the GPU "WGPU" rendering code path by default for the COSMIC Launcher. Due to some systems performing extremely slow with the software renderer that it feels sluggish, the GPU rendering is now enabled by default. This stems from a recent bug report calling "Cosmic Launcher still the slowest launcher in existence":

Good to see COSMIC evolving so quickly. Once they resolve the issues with keyboard focus, I'll be definitely returning, as the stacking feature was awesome

Also, improved usage of shortcut keys to open and select windows
