I really like the single bottom panel option on COSMIC.
Our alpha release gets closer by the day. We had 67 alpha 1 issues this morning. The number isn't necessarily indicative of the work because they're varying degrees of effort but it's still helpful.

The World’s first nvidia laptop with open source firmware!
I’m incredibly proud of the team’s achievement here. It’s a significant step forward.
Customers can now inspect their firmware and know what’s in it and where it’s coming from.
Get a boost of power when you need it or save battery when you don't with Intel and NVIDIA graphics on the Oryx Pro!

I hope Nebula can be your PC case for tinkering, learning and building your dream desktop.
Since our inception, we’ve set out to make high-quality open source systems that you can customize, learn from, and use to elevate your project. After 5 years of iterating on Thelio’s design, we’re bringing that engineering to a new PC case: Nebula.
