Bugs abound since Cosmic Desktop is STILL a BETA, and they classified their latest distro as an LTS … despite the Beta.
Cosmic is the “heaviest” desktop in Linux.
There are also memory leaks.
Best to use Mint, Fedora, or CachyOS, or something else altogether.

You know, the name is even worse than that - it’s Pop!_OS 
How does one come up with that?
I’ve never actually used it. I’m not sure why one would choose it over Ubuntu, especially after the move away from GNOME.
If System76 goes of business, the COSMIC DE dies, surely? Or best case scenario, it fragments the contributor base further?
Vertical integration, at least in theory, similar to Purism.
I think all this would make a worthy research paper, so we can get some recent research in to how people use computers, solve problems and work out how to use things. However given the free software eco system you could spend several million dollars on this, and some of the OS distributions would simply ignore this research.
People who develop distros, in some cases are simply not listening and it is then left to user groups to pick up the pieces when users struggle, it is usually us that get the critism as to what is wrong, or get told of bad / rude, unhelpful experiences on forums, so by the time they get to a user group, the damage is done.
I agree with the video on popOS, why are they using a beta front end with an OS that is aimed at beginners? Sure, have a branch to test things, but the main \distribution should have a consistent interface that others can help with.
I think this is there is an attempt to appeal to users by having a name that does not sound technical.
I think having OS at the end may not help, the most popular operating systems such as LinuxMint, Ubuntu don’t need to put OS at the end of it.
As I suggested in my other reply some sort of research on all this would be helpful so we have that go base our naming conventions on in this case.
(This) Linus [LTT] is now a meme with PopOS. Gives Linux a chance → use PopOS. Years later, gives it another chance? PopOS again. In 10 years, he will give it ‘another chance’ and he still chooses PopOS.
