Same though from me. Like WTF, we're about 4,5 months away from 26.04 LTS and they're just launching 24.04 NOW?!

How is this supposed to convince people who are already happy with the KDE or Gnome or other variants of Ubuntu and which ship without such monumental delays, thay they should switch to Popos variant of Ubuntu?

Such a long delay isn't reassuring at all.

It wasn't that long of a delay. Just a couple months. Also, keep in mind that this was the first release of COSMIC. Even if it had hypothetically taken an extra six months, that does not set the basis for a release cadence. There will be regular releases from this point.
They were pretty aggressive about pushing kernel version on 22.04, it really doesn't matter what its based on. I think they should just not use this version numbering, its more confusing then anything else.
