From GNOME to COSMIC: Pop!_OS has come a long way

This screenshot was taken about a year ago, on July 6, back when Pop!_OS was still using its customized GNOME desktop.

I've always admired Pop!_OS, mainly because of its excellent hardware support. It was one of the few Linux distributions where almost everything worked out of the box on my laptop, making the overall experience smooth and enjoyable.

When COSMIC became the default desktop environment, I switched to Kubuntu (KDE Plasma) for my daily use because COSMIC was still in its early stages. Over the past year, though, I've been following its development, and I think it has improved tremendously. It's great to see how far the project has come.

There is still one thing I noticed is missing: connecting to a hidden Wi-Fi network through the GUI. As far as I know, it still requires using the CLI. Hopefully, that feature will be added to the graphical settings in the future.

For those of you who are currently using Pop!_OS with COSMIC, what do you think are its biggest strengths and weaknesses? I'd love to hear your experiences.

I’m using a Lenovo Legion laptop and recently installed TUXEDO OS. Overall it runs fine, but I’m facing a random issue where the system suddenly freezes. When it happens, I have no choice but to force shutdown using the physical power button.

After rebooting, everything goes back to normal—but then the freeze can happen again randomly (maybe the next day, or a few days later).

Previously, I was using Kubuntu Focus OS, and it ran perfectly on my Lenovo Legion—no issues at all. In fact, in my experience, it felt even more stable than stock Ubuntu or Kubuntu.

The only reason I switched was because I wanted Plasma 6. As far as I know, Kubuntu Focus OS with Plasma 6 will be available after the 26.04.1 release.

I’m not really interested in using other distros or official Ubuntu flavors—they just don’t appeal to me personally. I also tried openSUSE before, but I didn’t like the full disk encryption experience: during boot, I had to enter the FDE password twice, and then again my user password to log into the desktop.

Has anyone experienced similar random freezes on TUXEDO OS, especially on Lenovo Legion devices? Any ideas what might be causing it or how to fix it?

Kubuntu 26.04 has been released, and as far as I understand, upgrading from Kubuntu 24.04 to 26.04 will only be available after the 26.04.1 release.

I’m currently a Kubuntu Focus (KFocus / KFS) user. However, I’m not using an official Kubuntu Focus laptop—I’m running it on my Lenovo laptop instead.

Is there any way to get the Kubuntu Focus 26.04 ISO for a clean installation on my laptop? I’m planning to reinstall rather than upgrade.

I’d really appreciate it if the KFS team could respond. I’m eager to install Kubuntu Focus 26.04 as soon as possible, and I’m also willing to help by reporting any bugs I encounter.

Also, I hope Kubuntu Focus can officially sell their products in Indonesia in the future.
