Course set: the first alpha of Pop_OS 24.04 is scheduled for release on August 8th. So if you've been counting the days until you can try the new COSMIC
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.
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.
