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 just want pop_os 24.04. I'm annoyed they're delaying the entire release so they can add cosmic to it.
Maybe I don't keep my finger on the pulse of this stuff the way I should, but what's the main benefit of 24.04? Pop updates the kernel and packages already. The main benefit we would get is newer gnome which... obviously isnt a development priority for them since it's going away.
What are we missing out on?
