COSMIC Epoch 1.6 Released With Per-App Volume Control, Remote Desktop Preparations

System76's Rust-based COSMIC desktop environment has released Epoch 1.6, adding per-app volume and output control, wl-dmabuf-v6 Wayland protocol support, presentation feedback for fullscreen surfaces, and EI protocol support as groundwork for future remote desktop capabilities. COSMIC Edit received optimizations, COSMIC Greeter gained JPEG-XL and AVIF image support plus runtime logind detection, and COSMIC Terminal now shows borders around split panes. Remote desktop itself is not yet functional in this release. System76 CEO Carl Richell shared a screenshot showcasing the new version.
