Your problem is fixed by not using this or any other app in the first place. Just because you’re annoyed doesn’t mean everyone is nor should it prevent apps from existing.

S76 isn’t going to have every option available to appease everyone’s unique asks; a separate app for other folks can pick up the slack. Otherwise Cosmic will turn into KDE with so many options that it becomes difficult to find or use.

Hopefully, that will not be the case as there is a anti-trust lawsuit possibly coming from DoJ and congress may pass a similar law like DMA. However, the chances are low anything will happen due the upcoming US elections. 😔

Especially since they can use any keyboard, like a mechanical keyboard that will feel much better than the laptops.

Given that an iPad is still a full-screen app OS, it may be easier for them to focus mainly on writing by using a dedicated writing app.

However, like many has said, involve your wife, let them pick.

Pop is semi-rolling distro, they don’t need to release “point updates”, they’re not behind Ubuntu at all.

It is not the same 22.04 build from two years ago. It’s using the same Ubuntu 22.04 LTS baseline and updates whatever they can with their own repos overwriting Ubuntu, such as mesa, kernel, and drivers. Every updates released to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS repos is made available to Pop users as well.

I just got an update on Pop for kernel 6.4.6 yesterday. Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS is the most recent update and it only uses 5.19 kernel.
