    This makes no sense - Pop_OS offers Gnome, KDE/Plasma, etc. as alternatives. Why should I stop using it because I don’t like one of the other DEs?

      Because you just complained about them not releasing updates? Work on the underlying distribution is most likely going to be slow for a while longer since they’re continuing to work on Cosmic. I’m sure you have your reasons for doing it this way, but you’re already using a different DE than Pop comes with. Why not put your DE of choice on another distribution where you can get the normal system updates you want?

        Pop comes with KDE/Plasma.

        I use PopOS because I have a System76 laptop. It runs well on my hardware. I’m allowed to complain about things without some shit telling me to just “use another distro”. If I wanted to run another distro I’d run another distro. Lordy…

          I originally responded to you with a suggestion that I hoped would be helpful, not knowing what your experience level or reason for using the distro was. You responded by being rude and insulting. I hope you have a good day!
