I have used popos for many years on my desktop and laptop and I’m a little worried about upgrading to the 24.04 version and was planning to wait until mid Jan. when hopefully the upgrade will be officially “stable”, i.e. with a nice little upgrade-notification. But now Spotify has released a version that requires a newer version of glibc so currently the apt-version of Spotify won’t run on my machines. So, how has it been for you? Have you upgraded without problems or did you do a fresh install ?
No problems updating on my machine, the whole process was smooth and painless. I do however think Cosmic could use more time in the oven as in its current form it doesn’t feel and work as well as GNOME did for me.
It’s not unusable mind you but it’s missing polish, some settings either don’t exist (night light) or aren’t as robust as before (I can’t use numpad numbers for keyboard shortcuts for example) and certain apps aren’t as good in my opinion (I regularly switch between COSMIC files and the old file explorer). I’m also used to my old workflow so I’ll need some time to figure out the best setup going forward.
It’s stable but not 100% ready in my experience.
