System76’s Rust-based COSMIC desktop environment updates to Epoch 1.7 with a fix for sluggish network filesystem access
Engineers running Linux workstations that mount remote storage will see faster directory listings and file operations. The change reduces latency without requiring new hardware or configuration, but the fix is specific to COSMIC’s file manager and may not apply to other desktop environments or CLI tools.

COSMIC Epoch 1.7 targets network filesystem performance bottlenecks in its file browser
The update is part of System76’s ongoing Rust-based desktop environment development
Improvements are limited to COSMIC’s own components and do not affect kernel-level filesystem drivers
