    Just to be clear, this is for POP!_OS, right? And does it automatically update my POP!_OS installation or is it a completely new distro that I’d have to do a clean install for?

      The next Pop!_OS release will use COSMIC as its desktop environment instead of GNOME. There will be an upgrade path, same as in previous releases.

      Probably will be an update and that’s it. They are changing the looks but the OS “core” won’t change

        They are changing the desktop environment. While it should be updated seamlessly, I do wonder how the configuration files, gnome extensions and dependency issues will be handled when updating to cosmic. It may be beneficial to make a fresh install
