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 tried Alpha 1 and it was completely unusable for me (granted I use a tri monitor setup), hopefully this offers an improvement (I will update if it works).
(Edit: it somehow works even worse, now it wont even launch)
You mean like an alpha version?
Yeah and I acknowledged that my use case is extremely niche and opens me up to a significant amount of bugs, at the same time I still tried it out because I felt like it. In addition im testing this outside of Pop_OS and on a non Debian based system (Artix).
i tried to daily drive it... but it could not handle having all my normal shit open with out blinking etc, games would not play.
going to give it another try. high hopes for cosmic!
There's an issue with posts about which games work and which don't.
