From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah I never even got it to work because it fried my laptop trying to install it. Fuck system 76.
How did installing cosmic “fry” your laptop? There where situations in the 90s where a bad x11 conf could damage your CRT, but outside of overclocking it’s pretty hard to damage your hardware now days.
x11.conf is one of my first memories about anything Linux.
I remember when I was just trying it (back when "edgy eft" was new) via live booting it, the very first customization I had to make was editing that for to allow my extra mouse buttons to work (the back/forward buttons that are common now were pretty new-ish back then, and by default it only worked with the 2 main buttons and the wheel (and the wheel button).
Has it stuck on system 76 screen and since the model I bought came with system 76s CFW you can't just do a fresh install or you lose one of the entire selling points of the laptop because that will wipe the custom embedded firmware.
So I get to send my private laptop back to the company so they can fix it pretty much putting all of my data at risk by doing so.
Super shitty for a $2200 laptop to be honest
Sounds like a manufacturing defect tbh. Shitty, but it happens to some degree no matter what.
That is just dumb of them. I would expect a wholly mainline kernel supported machine. At least within 6 months of release.
You've got a backup though, right?
I'm on a darter pro. I did a fresh install a month ago. Didn't wipe the firmware but you could update it if that happened. I love COSMIC.
