Is anyone really uses Cosmic? In my experience, they somehow managed to create a sloppy DE even without AI

    I’m not really sure when you last used Cosmic but it’s actually pretty good lately. And is also my preferred DE right now. It’s a much easier way to use tiling windows and everything works pretty well out of the box. Granted it’s not as customizable as some other DEs but it’s got everything that I’m looking for. Which is really the way we should look at other people’s setups. I won’t tell anyone their setup is wrong unless it’s a security issue. We need to put the personal back in Personal Conputers.

    Yeah I never even got it to work because it fried my laptop trying to install it. Fuck system 76.

    It’s pretty decent st this point. Imagine Ubuntu but a bit snappier. Still some isolated issues with certain games, but that’s it.

    Here’s one who swapped out Gnome apps on the desktop for Cosmic’s. Niri does windowing though. It kind of stuck, though on the laptop I still have Gnome apps and Niri. Cosmic seems very slow but consistent in its development. Recently it got the ability to rename folders attached to the file manager side panel, been waiting for that since the switch 😂 Apps are snappy and stable though.

    I daily drive it on both of my main machines. Clean, simple, and the integration of tiling and non-tiling workflows is very nice. My go-to now.
