Do you not know what LTS is?

See the code of conduct on the side. Criticism must be constructive. This is not only false, but ridiculous. Half of my hours are spent on Pop!_OS packaging and community.

Why does it matter? What are you missing? Numbers on a screen? It's not that old. Everything works perfectly fine. Use Flatpak if you want the latest version of a desktop application.

Hold space, select Pop-current, press d to set as default.

Are there any logs from startup indicating a potential issue here? You can see all warnings and errors since boot with journalctl -p 4 -xb.

It's been a while since I've looked at the source code. It either detects what is already on the recovery partition, or checks what's installed on the system.

Are you using sudo? The pipewire/pipewire-pulse/wireplumber services only exist for users.

    
systemctl --user enable --now pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber

  

Make sure that the services are not masked, and use apt reinstall pipewire if necessary.

You can manually choose which version of the ISO to fetch with this command

    
pop-upgrade recovery upgrade from-release 22.04 intel

  

It's not worth a reinstall. The NVIDIA ISO is the full ISO that's compatible with all systems. NVIDIA drivers aren't installed if the system lacks NVIDIA graphics.

The NVIDIA driver in Pop!_OS is currently 535.98. I've been using a RTX 3080 with Pop!_OS since the pandemic lockdown.

No, and we have the latest version since we developed it.

All of the people packaging Flatpak applications seem to have reached consensus that Flathub is the place to be. There isn't yet any competition in this space. Other repositories are likely specific to their communities, or used for development purposes.

I use btrfs only for secondary and external drives, while keeping the main system on ext4.

Check out the application example in pop-os/libcosmic. You can also compare with all the examples in the iced-rs/iced repository. The iced API enforces that you model your application in an Elm style. Both APIs are under construction though. So breaking changes will happen over time. Though Rust makes it easy to refactor to changes.

There's no stutter in practice. It's a recording artifact.

Yes, of course

The toolkit decides how their applications look based on whatever theming engines they use. The desktop doesn't have control over that. So GTK applications use GTK themes, libadwaita applications use libadwaita themes, libcosmic applications will use libcosmic themes. We'll try to automatically generate similar-ish GTK/KDE/etc. themes if possible, but it'll depend by what specs those toollkits support in their theming.

It's dotfile compatible. All the configuration settings for each application is stored in ~/.config/cosmic/{{APP_ID}}/{{VERSION}}/{{PARAMETER}}. They're plain text files.
