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.

anybody using COSMIC and know if it's ready for use as a daily driver yet?

I have been using it for some months now. It has all you need for daily driving and the features work flawlessly. Just don't expect too much.

I have been using it for months. Looking forward to this update as it has been a bit memory heavy.

Overall, it has been working great for me. There have been bugs though, especially with multi-monitor. Again, looking forward to trying out this update.

There is still room to go on the polish front I would say. And the built-in apps are still a bit basic. It all depends on your tolerance.
