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.

Brilliant work! COSMIC is a breath of fresh air for the Linux desktop community.

two questions:

Is COSMIC DE going to be exclusively Wayland? Would make sense but I'm just curious.
will COSMIC DE be available separately from Pop!OS? I think this could be a very popular choice for people getting into Arch or Nix, for example.

Yes
That depends on those other distributions willingness to package it for their distributions.
