Has anything changed on your end ? Eg new apps installed, new security etc ?

You can change the thread's security details to say that you're using Cosmic now you know. The very top, right corner of thread, there is a menu.

Nothing new except for Strawberry music player.. The system is very stable. I have not experienced any issues (minor or major). So satisfied.
