Super exited of COSMIC’s theming features, it looks a lot like google’s material you!

Just to be clear, this is for POP!_OS, right? And does it automatically update my POP!_OS installation or is it a completely new distro that I’d have to do a clean install for?

Probably will be an update and that’s it. They are changing the looks but the OS “core” won’t change

Okay, that’s good to know. Thank you!

They are changing the desktop environment. While it should be updated seamlessly, I do wonder how the configuration files, gnome extensions and dependency issues will be handled when updating to cosmic. It may be beneficial to make a fresh install

The next Pop!_OS release will use COSMIC as its desktop environment instead of GNOME. There will be an upgrade path, same as in previous releases.

Also, as others haven’t said yet, CosmicDE will be available for other distros if they choose to support it, which will be different to now where your only choice beyond Pop was to rice GNOME yourself.

Good to know that if I ever get tired of Gnome one day, there’s this.

Wow mfers really added tiling too… Cosmic has so much hype around it… I wish it the best and hope to check it out.

Tiling is already so good!

Imo for the casual user, pop’s tiling is streets ahead. it has the ability to be powerful and keyboard driven but also intuitive for mouse users
