    Honestly, I’ve given up on Pop OS and cosmic. System76 clearly overestimated their abilities with the decision to develop their own desktop environment. As a result they have been in development limbo for cosmic for multiple years now and at the same time have abandoned their existing distro and its users. Pop OS is still based on Ubuntu 22.04 with no official upgrade path.

      That makes a lot of sense.

      I personally don’t like any kind of big moves in the free software space at this point. Anything that stands the test of time does so because it has the community backing it.

      Whenever we put our faith into a company to do the work for us, it always ends up being really expensive and mediocre.

      Don’t be fooled into thinking the rules of business stop applying when dealing with a Linux company.

      I would’ve wouldn’t frame this as the distro is unusable and abandoned.

      I’ve been on PopOS for 3 years and haven’t had a single issue even with gaming.
