I'd recommend everyone to buy a Kobo over these, its much easier to read your own .pdf and .epub files than on a Kindle.

I have the Framework 13 and am currently running the COSMIC alpha on Pop!_OS. I love my current setup, but have tried Fedora Kinoite as well, and also had a great experience. Apart from running a few commands to get the fingerprint reader working, I haven't really had to troubleshoot anything. Its been a solid experience from Day 1.

Its still in alpha, and is feature incomplete, but I am already blown away by the performance and ease of use. I figured there's no better way to help the process along than build some apps for it!

Trying to build a Pomodoro timer applet in libcosmic.

So far, I'm really impressed with how COSMIC is turning out. Depending on your use case, it might not be ready for daily driving, but it works perfectly for my needs. Its especially impressive as an Alpha, because it freezes up a lot less on me compared to KDE.

Had a cheesy horror movie night with friends, watched Drag Me to Hell. The best bad special effects you'll ever see.

This is a far faster turnaround than I was expecting. Hopefully a Beta isn't too far behind!

I can run Llama3 on my desktop with a 3060, answers are near instant.

TVP has been a godsend as a ground beef replacer, and it is extremely cheap too. I only with I had discovered it earlier.

Pop!_OS or something like Bazzite would be decent choices.

Maybe a pipe dream, but I would love to see RedoxOS get some traction. A rust based microkernel is a promising concept.

The new COSMIC desktop by System76 and Pop!_OS is very promising. I've been running the pre-alpha, and have been very impressed.
