 Pop Os so close to a cosmic release

https://www.howtogeek.com/cosmic-linux-desktop-alpha-3/ 
 I haven't looked at it much at all because I want to see want the finished product is, I'm hoping for something good. 
 I think it will be functional and fast. Doubt it's as feature packed as gnome or kde to start 
 ima look… curious about this. 
 I think it's rust based and last I saw... that isn't your favorite feature 😁 
 oh i dont mind that. 😆
i do think its a bad idea for the linux kernel. even though a pure rust kernel would be interesting. 
for a desktop environment, it sounds interesting 
 Fair enough 
 the linux desktop world needs a simple, stable desktop environment that isnt weird. And the System 76 people have always had decent sensibilities 
 Agree they strike the best balance of form and function. If they think they can up things from what they did on top of gnome then it should be good enough for me 
 you feel a little… heavy today. you good? 
 you have the smelling powers of a hungry wolf

boss is being moved to another team at work, she's been amazing and processing the changes

it's all part of a bigger reorg and our team isn't changing so the rest is relief but heavy for her and the team will miss her 
 It will bring people to Linux.
