Pop!_OS 24.04 Full Review | The COSMIC Desktop is Here!
Pop!_OS 24.04 is finally here, and in this video I take an in-depth look at one of the most anticipated Linux desktop releases in years. After spending time with the new version, I’ll walk you through what’s changed, what works well, and whether this release is worth upgrading to.
This review covers the Pop!_OS 24.04 installation process, a first look at the brand-new COSMIC desktop environment, and a deep dive into the features that make Pop!_OS such a popular choice for desktop Linux users. COSMIC is no longer a set of GNOME extensions—this release introduces a completely new desktop built from the ground up, and I’ll show you how it performs in real-world use.
I also address one of the biggest questions surrounding this release: Is using Ubuntu 24.04 as the base a problem? We’ll talk about security updates, hardware support, kernel and driver backports, Flatpak support, and what this means for everyday users.
Whether you’re new to Linux, thinking about switching from Windows or macOS, or you’re a long-time Pop!_OS user wondering if this release lives up to the hype, this video will help you decide if Pop!_OS 24.04 is the right distro for you.
