I'm in a similar boat and am very excited for COSMIC https://blog.system76.com/post/more-on-cosmic-de-to-kick-off-2023 https://blog.system76.com/post/more-on-cosmic-de-to-kick-off... .
GNOME frustrates me so Pop_OS is the only place I currently use it. Will likely be moving all my GUI Linux boxes to COSMIC once it kicks off.
- JohnFen 4y agoIs using Gnome mandatory for Pop? Can you use KDE? Gnome is a showstopper for me.
- Shared404 4y agoGNOME is default, and integrated well enough that I do use it personally (only on Pop - it's _much_ better in the context of S76's customization). That said, you can also install and use KDE or whatever other packaged WM/DE you feel like.
- iudqnolq 4y agoThe core selling point of Pop is that they've figured out all the configuration needed to make a bunch of existing software work well together. Instead of needing to tweak everything it all just works. Sure you could start swapping around core components but it strongly suggests it's not the right desktop environment for you personally.
- JohnFen 4y agoAh, OK. So it's meant to be sort of an "appliance Linux"? Yes, that's certainly not my sort of thing.
- iudqnolq 4y agoYeah, and their business is selling officially supported hardware. So you get a complete system maintained by one team. I love it, but totally get that's not for everyone.
