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.

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.

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.

Fucking awesome. I love pop os but I’d probably switch to this in a heartbeat. Ubuntu has such a huge community so you basically have access to every package out there, but I’d rather deal with fedora’s package manager and flat packs then ever think about dealing with snaps
No way pop os will ship with snaps. System76 devs have already said they prefer flatpak

This would be awesome. Fedora has really been one of the best distros lately, hopefully they don't get fucked by Red Hat in the future.
Didnt it get fucked once? Also what did fedora do lately? Seriously asking.
No, they only fucked CentOS, and they made RHEL proprietary last year. Since Ubuntu's decline, Fedora basically took it's place. It's very stable but not extremely outdated, has great security, always supports the newest technologies like Flatpak, Wayland, Pipewire, etc., has good Desktop spins and constantly innovates. The next Fedora KDE release will even completely drop support for X11, which is a good step because it forces developers to adopt Wayland. They also have pretty good immutable spins like Silverblue, Kinoite and others. Other cool distros like Nobara and uBlue are also built on top of Fedora.

oh yes. I'm ready
I'd hop to this in a heartbeat. I do enjoy pop os and I've been looking for a reason to go back to Fedora since I've been on openSUSE for a while.
That does look slick!
TIL cosmic is the name of the pop! DE
It’s not the name of it currently. It’s currently an alpha, and will be released with the next major release of popos, which is due in April.
