After System76 introduced the new COSMIC brand at the end of June, it has just released a new set of official wallpapers for its upcoming, highly anticipated by the entire open-source community COSMIC desktop environment.

These are now available for Pop!_OS users, bringing a fresh and visually engaging look to their desktops.
As you might expect, all eight wallpapers feature space themes designed to complement the COSMIC environment’s aesthetics. Here they are, with a brief explanation for each.

The collection thus presented makes an impression that the only wallpaper designed by System76 looks slightlyโฆ well, underdone. We hoped for something more polished and in line with the retro-cartoon style they usually use for their branding. However, that’s just our take on it.
Anyway, the installation process is straightforward for Pop!_OS users eager to spruce up their desktops. They can access this new collection by typing sudo apt install cosmic-wallpapers
in the terminal.
