I think that’s what popos comes with, never looked into what the differences are between them or why one would want to switch

I already use the cosmic alpha and it works great. No crashes so far, the only thing that has happend twice in 2 Months of using it is the screen locker did not display after waking up from suspend which meant I needed to go to a VT and kill cosmic-session

I tried it and mostly love it. It’s not quite polished enough yet for me and I have two main complaints. First, half of my keyboard shortcuts don’t work anymore, and I wasn’t able to fix that last I tried. Second, it wouldn’t let me lock my computer or suspend. Had to shutdown everytime. Other than that and random librecalc crashes, I’m excited to see where it is in the coming months. Really rooting for the pop team

Using it on my latest install. Not bad. I mostly picked it for the visual aspects but I’m in the fence about it’s functionality. It feels like it takes more clicks than it should to open stuff.

Perhaps, but it’s also good to remember that it’s still in Alpha. That could still change. I feel like it would be hard to give a good review before it’s at least RC1

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.
