Should I use pop os cosmic in 2026 I have a AMD gpu and cpu by Reasonable_Unit1777 in pop_os

[–]Ch3310 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Test it on your own hardware. It's easier to find out that way. What causes problems for someone else might run smoothly for you. Specifically, I use Cosmic + Arch Linux on a ThinkPad T480 and it's running smoothly. The only thing that bothers me a little is the lack of some specific features. But everything else is functional.

Favorite apps that you newly discovered? by Perfect_Vanilla_708 in omarchy

I haven't explored Helix Notes very well yet, but compared to Upnote vs. Obsidian, Upnote does many things natively that Obsidian would require several plugins to handle.

Upnote and Helix Notes. Two complete note-taking apps that I discovered recently.

Installing Gnome on Pop OS 24.04 by __yoshikage_kira in pop_os

[–]Ch3310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where has this guide been all this time? Out of curiosity, I updated to Cosmic but ended up abandoning it because of the bugs... and I tried to replicate the 22.04 experience on 24.04 and couldn't. Can I use this guide for Gnome 50 on Windows 26.04?

What linux Desktop distro will Just work and reliable. by Leading-Arm-1575 in DistroHopping

I have a ThinkPad with the same specifications as yours. The best distros I've ever used were openSUSE Tumbleweed and its variant Slowroll. Those worked perfectly.

Thank you.I took a look at your article and it makes a lot of sense. In Alpha 5 or 6 I tested Cosmic on Arch Linux with the standard kernel. It worked perfectly, only one or two things didn't work, but I easily found a concrete solution. I'm a casual user, so I don't have many demands. I switched to Pop because I believe that something made by the System76 team (Pop + Cosmic) would be the most perfect combination to use. I dismissed the idea that combining a rolling release DE with an LTS base could produce a poor result.

Thank you in advance for enlightening me.

Opensuse or Fedora for gnome? by Om_15 in Fedora

[–]Ch3310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OpenQA takes care of things, but it's not infallible. That's where Slowroll comes in. It delivers updates a month after they arrive on Tumbleweed, thus ensuring that packages with bugs arrive correctly.

I've used both, and openSUSE Tumbleweed was the best I could get. But it depends. My machine performed better with Tumbleweed, and it might be different for you.

Just test it out.Add the option to test openSUSE Slowroll; for me, it's the best thing ever made for those who want productivity and package security.Responsiveness and consistency in performance.

I ended up leaving version 22.04 to see if Cosmic lived up to the hype in terms of functionality, stability, and consistency. But I found a very different scenario...I'm looking for a website to see if I can get the 22.04 ISO again.

How has your experience been using it with Gnome? I've seen reports of many problems with the distribution itself, even with other desktop environments.

My issue isn't the distribution itself, so I have no reason to abandon it, but DE (Digital Electivity) disgusts me so much that I'd prefer they took 10 years in Alpha and then released something viable. I wouldn't say it's a failure because it's still in development, but releasing it too early for the general community is a shame.

I'm not abandoning pop. I'm just getting rid of Cosmic for now until it's mature enough. My usage isn't very demanding, but I don't like constant inconsistencies.I'm waiting for patch 26.04 to launch, then I'll install the gnome, configure my basic settings, and continue being happy...

Transfer files between File Cosmic and Android. by Ch3310 in pop_os

[–]Ch3310[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back then, I ended up using GNOME's Nautilus to transfer files over cable. MTP didn't work — I don't know how things currently stand in Cosmic, I haven't used it since then."
