    Wow mfers really added tiling too… Cosmic has so much hype around it… I wish it the best and hope to check it out.

        Is there any kind of guide for how to configure settings not yet exposed to the gui settings? I have been spending some time in Cosmic after every update. It certainly isn’t unusable, but it is kind of a stretch to consider it ready for daily use for an end user. I have a hard time imaging people at System76 daily driving Cosmic since June without manually changing the configuration files.

        Is there IBus, or similar, integration on the development road map? This is a feature that keeps me from spending more time in Cosmic so far.

    Just to be clear, this is for POP!_OS, right? And does it automatically update my POP!_OS installation or is it a completely new distro that I’d have to do a clean install for?

      The next Pop!_OS release will use COSMIC as its desktop environment instead of GNOME. There will be an upgrade path, same as in previous releases.

      Probably will be an update and that’s it. They are changing the looks but the OS “core” won’t change

        They are changing the desktop environment. While it should be updated seamlessly, I do wonder how the configuration files, gnome extensions and dependency issues will be handled when updating to cosmic. It may be beneficial to make a fresh install
