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.

Probably will be an update and that's it. They are changing the looks but the OS "core" won't change
They are changing the desktop environment. While it should be updated seamlessly, I do wonder how the configuration files, gnome extensions and dependency issues will be handled when updating to cosmic. It may be beneficial to make a fresh install
Okay, that's good to know. Thank you!
