This is exciting. Is kinda weird though that the website treats this like any other release. When I navigated to download it, I had to dig a bit to find out cosmic is involved. Why not push this harder? They should be proud of the accomplishment and sell themselves on having built something huge and different.
They are getting lots of press in the places where the people that care go.
On their website, they focus on the benefits of their platform for customers. From that perspective, the new COSMIC is just a refinement on what they were shipping before.
And this is just the beginning. COSMIC itself is still fairly basic. And the “new” Pop!OS is based on an LTS base that is already 2 years old. None of that is a problem but it is not a hand they want to overplay.
They may actually make a bigger deal about the benefits when 26.04 ships. Things will be a bit more “industry leading” by then.

I think it is a smart play.
