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 :)

    Yeah it’s great, It’s never been a better time to be a Linux user. There’s always something to look forward to and we get more support every year. I’m going to give cosmic a shot when they release it.

    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.

    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
