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 think they will come back very quickly in 2024 and there will a big surge in popularity thanks to cosmic, specially if it's better than Gnome in ways people care about. Will be so much fun to see.
I don't think a newly released DE can get better than gnome or Kde. They're very stable and they both have amazing support as well as innumerable add-ons and tweaks.
Yeah they are awesome.
I tried cosmic in VM and they have a long way to go. Whatever they release in 2024 will be just barely usable, nothing more. Think of stability of KDE 4.0 with 1% of its features. I'm not saying that they are doing a bad job, quite the opposite. But what they have right now is only nearing the bare minimum, and the road ahead is long.
Ok yeah. Will try to not have high hopes.
It can't be better than Gnome or KDE but it will be very different for sure.
