It's a nice look, had some issues with my mouse right click and scroll, and it crashed while logging in a few times but I got to have a look at it. I hope they stick to a darker theme (or even add a darkness level) than the current PopOS cosmic dark , it's more of a brown/grey and maybe a rounded corner option, those two minor annoyances are my only complaints with PopOS.

      You will need to add the repos from Mozilla to install Firefox and Thunderbird. Canonical's goal is to eventually replace all deb packages with snap packages. They have apt aliased to the snap packages for many apps. So if you remove snap and try to install Firefox or Thunderbird without adding the repos from Mozilla, apt will just reinstall snap.

    Immutable distros aren’t really being built with average users in mind so much as for people who have to administer a building full of workstations. Easier to deploy and easier to manage. In regard to snaps, I don’t really hate snaps themselves so much as how aggressive Canonical is in pushing them. Yes, you do have a choice in the type of package you want to install but they don’t make that obvious enough for Joe Average User. If you want to install and manage Flatpaks in a GUI on Ubuntu you have to install a separate App Store. In other distros, for example Fedora, you can have a snap backend in place in gnome software if you wish and boom, there are all the package formats all in one place. It just seems like having built a reputation for being user friendly their approach on some things isn’t that user friendly at all.

      Not sure I see the comparison. It's more like what Xfce wants to be if it were made from the ground up in Rust.

    Looks good. But... What's the selling point of cosmic over pop-shell + gnome? It looks pretty much exactly the same as pop-shell, which for me is a good thing since that's what I'm using. I like that they're implementing it in Rust. But looking at the specs of my laptop, I'm pretty confident that I wouldn't notice the difference. However, Wayland is an issue for me. Whenever I tried Wayland over the many years, I eventually had to decide whether I want Wayland or some features or apps. Wayland never won. Not because I'm a hater, which I'm not. It's just not better than the alternatve - not for me. A text editor? Oh comeon. Nvim, Code or Emacs, that should really cover the need for any practical or ideological need for text editing. That looks like a waste of time to me. Another file manager? Why? Is Gnome, KDE, Mate, Cinnamon, XFCE, i3, awesome or anybody really dumping "their" favorite file manager? What is it? Nearly as good as X? But in Rust and on Cosmic? App store? I used that before and I just tend to trust some vendor less and less. I want to get my software from a trusted source without intermediaries and I want to know that they're up to date. App stores do not add value for me, they add volatility. Well that's me. Corporate run X: I was looking for a mix of floating and tiling WM, because I see the advantage of tiling but also am too used to floating to want to convert. Pop-shell is a great compromise. But I run it by installing it from source on Gnome on Debian. Gnome because I don't like KDE and I don't want to configure all the integrations manually. It also looks nice enough and doesn't bother me. Debian because I have to work on my computers and arch makes it harder for me. I install most of the software I'm using from asdf plugins (checking the source) or manually in my home directory, so which distro I'm using matters very little for what software I'm using. I used Ubuntu for years and definitely don't want to go back. I'm not a customer for them and they are not community for me. System 76 is better, even if they are based on Ubuntu. So I tried it and I had issues with it. I got too disappointed by trusting companies that are the good guys one day and then forget about "don't be evil" the next. If I choose to trust one, it had to be for a better reason than having access to a window decoration or a wallpaper.

    I am a new Ubuntu/Linux user. I downloaded Ubuntu 24.04 for personal use. I used a Toshiba laptop that's about 5 years old. Immediately, I discovered that the mouse touchpad wasn't working. I plugged a USB mouse in and tried updating the drivers. There wasn't an option of another driver, so I am still using a USB mouse. I am not sure what to do if the system can't find a suitable driver. It worked in Windows 10.
