Tauri vs Iced vs egui: Rust GUI framework performance comparison (including startup time, input lag, resize tests)
That said, a lot of the things we're working on are still in development within our development fork of iced, so they are not yet published for code review. And COSMIC-specific work is in libcosmic, which depends on that.

How will HDR be implemented in COSMIC Rust?
GUI frameworks: Iced and Slint can be used for making Cosmic apps. You can pull libcosmic into a project to get the COSMIC integration for Iced.

Progress on the COSMIC DE: client-side window drag resize support in Winit for X11/Wayland and Iced.

What to expect from Pop!_OS's COSMIC, a desktop environment written from scratch in Rust
COSMIC will let users customize the desktop in the form of Applets. They wouldn’t work like the very-flexible custom scripting in GNOME though, because it could lead to instabilities when the system updates and collateral damage. Applets would be kind of what they are in Linux Mint: an extension attached to the dock or panel.

Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)
They're even already producing their own Linux distribution, CBL-Mariner, https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux
-
GitHub and Developer Ecosystem Control
This became even more interesting as Microsoft started to open source core technology such as Powershell, the DotNET platform, their internal Linux distribution, and much more. All this hosting on GitHub also made sense acquisition wise.
- Reasons Windows Is Going in the Wrong Direction
-
Linux hit over 3% desktop user share according to Statcounter
Quite a few servers and network switches, actually.
- SUSE Preserves Choice in Enterprise Linux by Forking RHEL
- LXD is now under Canonical
- CBL-Mariner – internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure
-
What is the future of Windows?
Likely a recognisable ‘Windows’ GUI on-top of CBL-Mariner
- Microsoft has made Azure Linux generally available
-
Excuse me, WHAT THE FUCK
Nothing new. For several years they already developed and maintained CBL-Mariner (Common Build Linux) https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner Which od a base for Azure Linux and other projects.
