6 Linux Distros to Watch Out for in 2025
Interestingly, it has been a decade since Microsoft launched Visual Studio Code for Linux, and Apple open sourced the swift programming language.
If you did not know, Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS is going to feature its own Rust-based COSMIC desktop environment, and plenty of users are super excited to change their daily drivers to Pop!_OS.
The best thing about it: they are also working on bringing the COSMIC desktop environment to other distributions like Fedora, Arch, Serpent OS, CachyOS, NixOS, and more.
So, if you favor the new COSMIC desktop, but on a different base, you can totally try it out once it has reached its stable version.
Why? Because they simply want to offer an advanced (yet) stable KDE experience on top of Arch Linux, and encourage their hardware partners to adopt it with official compatibility support.
It is a win-win for KDE Plasma fans. If you wanted an Arch distro, and a stable KDE Plasma experience, KDE's official distro could become a no-brainer choice.
