It’s an Ubuntu downstream maintained by Linux box maker System76 which is targeted for both general usability and design/media applications. They will soon be debuting their own home-spun desktop environment, Cosmic DE, which is highly anticipated by the Linux community.

How does the community here feel about this distribution and the company that has brought it to us? How do you feel about the projects that they’re working on, and their goals for the distribution moving forward?

This sounds like written by an Ai or some marketing person...

Ordinary people don't use phrases like "box maker System 76" or "highly anticipated by the Linux community"...:)

I’m sorry you think that.

Get out more.

He's got a point though, these sound more like 'online article on tech website' phrases, less like a community post. Not meant to be insulting, I just like to analyse language.

No, he's right. You sound like you're writing a corporate ad.

I thought the exact same thing. It’s written like the uncanny valley of English.

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.
