The landscape of what Linux gamers choose as their main distro on their gaming machine has completely changed in just a few years! Data is from ProtonDB. Music is Digital Phonk from INFRACTION. Ana...
S76 has been focusing heavily on Cosmic, so Pop as a whole has fallen behind. The new Beta is very promising, but not something I would daily drive. I love a lot about Cosmic, but it has a long way to go before it’s as polished and functional as Plasma.
Yeah, I didn’t do a whole lot of research before moving to Pop but i’m sticking with one distro for a while just so I get fluent in something. I hate the out of the box DE experience but with a little tweaking it’s usable.
Gaming is so easy to figure out. I’ve gotten FSR4 to work and I don’t notice much in the way of a performance delta with windows. Plus if you run into any issues there’s solutions to practically everything with ProtonDB, reddit and the archwiki.
So far my biggest gripe so far is zero HDR support which is hardly a dealbreaker.
Cosmic started as a fork of GNOME. They worked on that for a long, long time before deciding to start over.
I think it’s the right call. I can see myself using it once it’s matured some more. The ability to seamlessly switch between floating and tiled modes is wonderful. The simplicity and intuitiveness of the UI and settings. They take all the right features and ideas from GNOME, KDE, MacOS, and Windows and made something that could be better than all of them. All they need is time and polish, and they seem dedicated to doing it right.
I am looking forward to seeing it evolve and am cheering for them.
