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.

I already use the cosmic alpha and it works great. No crashes so far, the only thing that has happend twice in 2 Months of using it is the screen locker did not display after waking up from suspend which meant I needed to go to a VT and kill cosmic-session
I tried it and mostly love it. It's not quite polished enough yet for me and I have two main complaints. First, half of my keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore, and I wasn't able to fix that last I tried. Second, it wouldn't let me lock my computer or suspend. Had to shutdown everytime. Other than that and random librecalc crashes, I'm excited to see where it is in the coming months. Really rooting for the pop team
