System76, the makers of Linux-compatible computers and the COSMIC desktop environment, has released the latest version of COSMIC, COSMIC Epoch 1.11.

The latest version of COSMIC brings a number of improvements, including xdg-dialog-v1 for improved modal dialogs under Wayland, the replacement for the aging X11 window system. The company’s GitHub release notes says the change “ensures that modal dialogs are not hidden by other windows.” The new version also includes a number of “translation updates and dependency updates for many projects.”

The pop-launcher also sees some fixes and improvements, including ‘making queries always case insensitive, improving searching for words instead of parentheses, using the correct GPU on hybrid systems, and fixing keyword search weights when there are more keywords.’

Cosmic Settings features improvements to touchpad interactions, including tap and drag, as well as drag lock improvements.
