From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There already is an experimental image based on Silverblue with the alpha stage Cosmic Epoch Desktop.

Mainly finetuning and SELinux profiles are needed!

I use PopOS as my daily driver on my desktop. The tiling window management is simply the chef’s kiss.

I’m stoked for Cosmic DE, it’s awesome to see further community adoption of System76’s contribution to Linux.

I have honestly been tempted to hop to Pop!_OS for their take on GNOME. The auto-tiling was really nice when I tested it in a virtual machine.

I believe it's just a gnome plugin. Look it up. :)

Pop Shell can actually be used on other distros. Here's how: https://support.system76.com/articles/pop-shell/
