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.

How far is it to be daily drivable, in your opinion? Like, crazy far or just far?
I have a few machines running Pop. It’s exceptionally good IMO. It’s like an extremely refined Ubuntu. It’s one of my fav distros.
Is that your experience with the OS or cosmic?
I use Pop!_OS on 2 machines daily with KDE Plasma and am happy with it. I use KDE Plasma because COSMIC is too GNOME-y for me. The only thing I liked better in COSMIC was the fractional scaling- that was way better than the options I have in KDE.
Yes, I agree. Pop!_OS gets a lot of hate for some reason, but it's actually a really, really good distro.
I was asking about COSMIC though, since I'm really looking forward to try it!
I have not yet done any extensive reading on what exactly distinguishes cosmic from the general Gnome DE.
It has no relation with GNOME
Ok so I need to learn more about it. Thanks.
