Ubuntu’s popularity often makes it the default choice for new Linux users. But there are tons of other Linux operating systems that deserve your attention. As such, I’ve highlighted some Ubuntu alternatives so you can choose based on your needs and requirements—because conformity is boring.
Ah that makes sense. I didn’t know about Vanilla so thanks for updating that.
I know Pop is updating with their own DE “soon” and thinking they were changing their base as well would have been quite an undertaking
Cosmic does look really nice.
I thought the DE was already out.
They’re making their own from scratch because modifying Gnome became too much of a pain. It’s got the same name, which is confusing.
This is probably why I had it in my head that they were doing the Vanilla thing, in that they are both departing from their long-standing fork.
I mean I get that, but I could’ve sworn cosmic was already out.
Yes, Cosmic, the fork of Gnome, is out. However, Cosmic, the ground-up rewrite, is still in development.
Cosmic is dead, long live Cosmic.
Ohhhh I see. I had the assumption that the ground-up rewrite was already out. Thanks for saying this.
