I'm waiting for Cosmic to be merged into NixOS stable which I learned is just around the corner (May). I'm super excited because Cosmic seems to strike a sensible balance between polished, full-featured, make-everyone-happy mainstream DE and performance-oriented tiling WM.

Although I've never tested the Alpha, I have a feeling that I might finally make the switch (from Gnome) on my daily driver once it's mature enough.

I tried it out. Actually loved it. The UI is very modern and fresh feeling. I hated the file browser though. It was missing a lot of basic stuff s file browser should have iirc. Overall I'll probably heavily test it out once it's beta

Can't you just install another file browser? Or is that linked to cosmic? I don't know, I'm new 🫃

Yeah! They just had their own so I was trying to use it

Yeah minor complaint overall the desktop felt nice and is worth using once more feature ready imo
