I like to watch videos published by Nick from The Linux Experiment. In the latest video he talks about the developments in the new Cosmic, The quality of life touches and polishing of KDE, and the apps coming to gnome (like snoop). It is all really cool and I can't wait to try them all :)
I am excited about all the changes coming to our DEs!

I just realized this a few days ago. This is a very big reason why i'll be keep using linux.
POV:
Linux: lets goo there are new updates
Windows: there are new updates... please no more AI and edge...

The other thing is just how much I hate Windows Update. I can tolerate most parts of Windows, but WU is objectively terrible. It's incredibly slow, requires multiple restarts (sometimes forced!) amd sometimes fails with random errors that are impossible to troubleshoot.
It goes without saying that most Linux package managers work incredibly well in comparison.

Iirc windows can open archives without an external program now, even tarballs, so that's something...
Not that I plan on using modern versions of windows if I can help it, but still

Looks great, I used the wallpaper myself for a while. What theme/icons do you use?

Lol, it looks vaguely like old gnome

To be honest, one of the reasons I switched from KDE (after 15+ years of using it) was the better X support on xfce. I use an nvidia card, so before I switch to wayland support for nvidia drivers has to be much much better.

I'm even more excited about the Ticket Booth app, because even if/when I use streaming services, if I like a show I'll end up torrenting for archival purposes.
I don't trust that this content will be available on these platforms forever, so it really means a lot for me to have such a nice app to keep track of what I watched / liked / want to watch

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

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.

It's so nice to be excited about my OS again. I remember as a kid, I used to be really excited about Windows updates. People were cynical about Microsoft even back then, but I remained loyal to Windows for years.
Only last year did I finally move to Linux as my OS (although I still use Windows for gaming). Since then every following Linux news is always exciting. New versions of distros, desktop environments and software always bring interesting improvements.
Meanwhile on the Windows side, most noticeable updates just bring more ads, tracking, forced Edge recommendations and forced logins. Ironically the last Windows feature I remember being genuinely excited for was WSL 2.
