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.

They want to have a release by 24.04 LTS? that's pretty ambitious

[...] we [...] work towards an eventual 24.04 release over the summer.

If all goes well, we can release the alpha by the end of March.

I'm a little excited, not gonna lie. I really liked their take on Gnome.

I tried COSMIC just two weeks ago and it is incredibly buggy. Like, I crashed the whole desktop twice in 15 minutes.

My prediction is that they will build an amazing DE, and it will take way longer than they anticipated.

Its not even alpha yet, of course it'll be buggy

sure! I'm not complaining, just saying that I predict it will take longer to complete than they anticipate
