From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m pretty new to linux and just got Pop os running on my gaming pc. When cosmic comes out do I just update or download Cosmic or is it a fresh install on my system?
It'll likely just be an update and handled by the package manager accordingly. Old Gnome-based Cosmic is being retired afaik.
