Well, I tried to use it when it came out of beta, and it was… Well, let’s call it questionable experience. It’s, of course, just mine subjective opinion. And about “No AI policy” - it’s, of course, a good vector, but, from my point of view, Cosmic really seem as something that could benefit a lot from more rapid development cycle.

Calling a beta software questionable is a very questionable take

I only started using Cosmic when Pop_OS! 24.04 came out so I never touched it before it was a stable release so I have no opinions before that. My initial impressions were that it was good enough to try as a daily driver because the things that were missing, like accessibility options, weren’t things I personally needed. Did it need work, yes. Is it a disaster of a DE, No. When it comes to the AI issue, I’m a bit torn. I think AI can be a great tool for development. The problem is having the opportunity for some slop kiddies to constantly throw a program into chaos because they put Hermes into YOLO mode. A "No AI"policy is a way to prevent problems but I don’t think it’s necessarily a perfect one.
