Following System76's stable release of the Rust-based COSMIC desktop with Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS, an unofficial personal package archive (PPA) now lets Ubuntu 24.04 users install it without switching distributions. The PPA targets Ubuntu and derivatives like Linux Mint 22.x, but users should be cautious of potential package conflicts.
