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 want to switch to another DE on Fedora, from KDE to COSMIC, is it possible to switch in some simple way, kind of with rpm-ostree or something? I've searched the web but only found info on doing this with Atomic desktops, but I'm not using one and not planning to yet

It's already at version 1.2.0, it's backed by a company who actually ships it as default and it got a solid roadmap.

I think it's still young but should not give any issue.

I remember users reporting memory leaks and display issues fairly recently. I'm not saying it's completely unusable but your milage may very.

How were they able to make memory leaks in rust? Lol

Good question, might have been in some non cosmic component. I saw it in a Chris Titus video.
