I’m trying to switch from endeavouros (arch based) to pop os. I heard that pop releases latest versions for some packages even though it’s a point release distro. Hence the question. Also how cutting edge are the packages in general? What advice do you have for someone about to switch to pop?

    Yes, but still important to keep in mind because it broke release expectations. Pop!_OS used release new versions every 6 months and then stopped releasing new versions while working on COSMIC and now only does LTS releases.

    And now that COSMIC is “done”, it’s still not quite clear when they will release 26.04. I actually just found a quote from the CEO of System76 where he said “Future Pop!_OS releases, starting with Pop!_OS 26.04 LTS, will now align with the Ubuntu LTS release timing (approximately two weeks after the Ubuntu release date)” but that obviously didn’t happen.
