Just tested Pop! OS 24.04 in a live enviroment, i am impressed they are on kernel 6.17.9 (which is not even a LTS-Kernel)ā¦ but that was it. Got bored very fast duo missing configurations that i got used too in KDE.
I was once a Pop! OS user but since i use Endeavour OS i donāt want anything else.

PopOS was a stepping stone for me also, though I changed because of that stupid message in Firefox settings, āManaged by Your Organizationā. For the longest time the devs opted out of enterprise policies, but at some point they give in, and took the easy way out. I chatted with one of the devs, and he told me it was because Firefox updated at different times blah blah blah. You are right. It became boring.

Really? Looks like itās still beta, when reading most of the comments on Reddit.

They should have waited until 26.04, which is just around the corner. Ubuntu 24.04 is ancient at 1 year and 8 months old.

Yeah, the timing is indeed a shame, but maybe it only looks like that because of our Arch perspective? I mean most of their customer base was still on 22.04 
Probably. Spoiled by the rolling release cycle, I suppose.
Cosmic on EOS would have to be setup better in order for me to like it compared to PopOS. I just did a quick install on vm to check it out. I donāt know all the things needed to be added and set up to make it similar without spending a lot of time.
Edit: I donāt see any system settings and other things?
Then Iām guessing you didnāt get all the packages installed. I thought there was a meta package, but Iām not seeing it in a quick look.
But from using it on Cachy, there are things required that arenāt properly done (like polkit comes to mind), so you canāt (as normal user) open another drive. Iām hopeful that whoever packages for Arch will look at it again with 1.0 release.
Edit: Looks like group ācosmicā should pull most if not all in.

That means any EnOS user can contribute, including the package list.
Just fork the cosmic repo, make your suggested changes, then do a Pull Request.

The package list for Cosmic currently includes gnome-keyring. I assume that should take care of polkit? I havenāt actually tested it yet.

Well I did a fresh install about a week and a half ago and noted problemsā¦but since blew it away. Iāll probably fire it up in a VM vs possibly breaking my working installation and try to figure out what all it may need.

Cosmic on vmware is really good. All Iām saying is that I would need it to be setup on EOS like it is on PopOS in order for me first of all to like it and or use it. I think itās ready and would be a great addition if it was configured properly.
