I daily drive a PopOS (22) on my laptop, it simplifies dealing with Nvidia drivers.I recently upgraded to the 24.x version that runs Cosmic DE. While I loved the visuals and design, the whole OS was buggy. The GitHub issues about memory leaks I faced related to cosmic have been open for a while.

Yeah I'm still on 22. But I also usually use the ESR versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, because especially when I'm traveling, I value the stability of my home workstation over almost all else.

Not the commenter above. I used popOs 22 for 4-5 yeas daily, and have been quite happy. I was prompted to update to 24 through the system panel, accepted, and after the update was done, I encountered multiple issues with Cosmic. Could not restore, and after futile attempts, wiped and re-installed Ubuntu 22. I do not have a system76 PC, but an older Dell WS. I regret accepting the suggested breaking update.
