System76 vs Star Labs vs Framework
If in the USA then System76 could be a good contender, they don't make the hardware just use Clevo hardware, however I've had so many issues with the Lemur Pro and support has been terrible, after significant shipping costs to fix a common freezing issue they sent it back with a broken trackpad, missing screws and the same issue persisting (https://github.com/pop-os/linux/issues/45 & https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/1172) tbh they (System76) really don't like any critizism and popOS has been really flaky between updates, they also tend to be bad actors in the community with little upstreaming and a sense of superiority (https://www.theregister.com/2021/11/10/system76_gnome_desktop_fight/) - My machine (lemp9) is basically just sat in a cupboard gathering dust.

Anyone that uses System76 Pangolin 12?
The problem is it says the audio is working out of the box, but it isn't. I've talked to the support and I was shown this: https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/205
- Should I switch from Linux mint?
-
6.3 kernel released. Can we get Mesa 23 too?
As for kernel 6.3 update, it is going on for testing currently: https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/251
-
Which kernel version is Pop OS currently using?
I don't use Pop but the repos show 6.2.6
- Pop!_OS wont boot after new kernel upgrade [linux-modules-6.2.0-76060200-generic]
-
Are Linux 6.2 and Mesa 23.1 being planned soon?
Linux 6.2: https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/228 Not Mesa 23.1 but Mesa 22.3.5: https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/228 (Merged)
- Mesa, Linux, Pop Shop updates available for testing
- Kernel 6.0 EOL after 3 months? So what next for Pop!_OS back to 5.15 or 6.1 (upcoming LTS)

How can I try out COSMIC DE?
Download the source code of the COSMIC Desktop: git clone https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic

What Desktop Environment do you use?
I think there might be some confusion in this poll and thread -- COSMIC is the name of both a suite of components in Pop_Shell, which modifies (but does not replace) GNOME shell components like the dock and workspaces, as well as a full-fledged desktop environment that replaces GNOME.

Touchscreen gestures broken in PopOS with Wayland?
I'm using PopOS with Wayland on a Surface Go 2, and can't find a way to switch between workspaces and apps using multitouch gestures. There's a bug report here touching on these issues but I'm wondering of anyone has found a good workaround or fix for this. Any advice appreciated!

[Poll] Who is still disabling the Pop COSMIC extension to get the pre-21.04 "Activities" view (combining Workspaces and the Application search)?
FWIW, I've also created a Github issue on the subject: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic/issues/386

Cosmic Text: Pure Rust multi-line text handling
The 'Cosmic' name also indicates that; see https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic.

If the Pop Launcher could do anything, what would you want it to do?
Just to be clear, you are talking about the Pop Launcher and not the Cosmic Applications Launcher, correct? (since there may be some confusion around what the "Pop Launcher" is vs. the "Cosmic Applications Launcher" ... see https://imgur.com/a/XN34drv for images)
