The default kernel, which is using Clang ThinLTO has now also support for Rust Modules. Pahole has been patched to be compatible. Also external modules like bcachefs-dkms should work now fine!

COSMIC now has an on-screen keyboard. It can be activated from the login screen or with an applet you can add to your panel. Settings are under Accessibility > On-screen keyboard. It works great on touchscreen devices and game controllers. We're also working on improving the touchscreen experience throughout COSMIC.

Your PC might soon ask how old you are before you can use it. California, Colorado, and Illinois have passed laws requiring operating systems like Windows and macOS to collect users’ ages. California’s law starts in 2027. For now, simply declaring your age is enough, but companies could eventually use facial scans, government IDs or other verification methods to prevent minors from simply lying. The really important part is that these laws could have effects far beyond the states that passed them. Apple, Google and Microsoft may decide it’s easier to build one age-verification system for everyone rather than completely different systems for each state
