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.

Basically title, with System76 moving from gnome to their new rust built COSMIC environment what are your thoughts?

I'm really in support of everything that System76 is doing. Outside of Framework I think they're one of the more interesting enthusiast projects. I think what makes me particularly excited for Cosmic is that it will be under the GPL3 license, and that it will use GTK.

Likewise! Funny enough, my daily driver is a Framework laptop with Pop!_OS.

Me too, it's a great combo with a few tweaks (for fingerprint support and power)!

I've implemented the fingerprint tweak among others, but what is this power tweak you speak of? \⁠(⁠◎⁠o⁠◎⁠)↗
