How so?22.04 is actively maintained and updated by Ubuntu, and is still the latest LTS release. On top of that, the most important packages in Pop!_OS are updated frequently, so we are on Mesa 24.0.3 and Linux 6.8.0.
As for when COSMIC releases, you should read last month’s blog post.
Nobody who packages debs are updating their applications for jammy anymore. Anything I install is several versions old at this point. Just the other day I tried to compile an application that uses Autocxx, only to find that it requires C++14 headers, and the jammy repo only had up to 12 or 13. I know I can add PPAs or get things other ways, but it kind of defeats the point of a package manager if I’m constantly hunting for things outside of it.
I’m looking forward to Cosmic, but I’m curious if it will delay the 24.04 LTS release. 22.04 is pretty long in the tooth at this point.
