For people saying it is a gnome clone, yes it is but they did it to keep the old design so that users wouldn't need to adjust to a new ui.

[RomaIX]

The best of two worlds! COSMIC seems to be the Knome we all wanted.

I think System76 was genius choosing to write the new DE in Rust. There are so many die-hards wanting to convert the world into their "MEMORY-SAFE!" utopia. The commits just roll in.

[Kodeb]

The COSMIC DE is probably the most exited I am for anything Linux related rn!

[gabood]

Damn i really like this, its almost identical to gnome but with all the customization options of KDE. Exactly what I've been wanting.

[wolfwoof]

very gnome but looks more coherent, I like it
I don't like using the browser to add extensions on gnome, and often breaks after updating

[rbartig]

It's really impressive on how much they did in a short amount of time.

[rauldeandrade]

really looking forward to having multiple screens with independent workspaces

[xperience-evolution]

Like it but hope it will be lower on ram than Pop is now.

[st.altair]

They really looked at gnome and went "Rewrite it in Rust"

Honestly, based.

Wonder how well Cosmic Scales with Resolution. Maybe it's a lot better then what we currently have. Cuz right now it does scale really Badly with 1440p hence why there is 1080p and 4k for their notebooks. Maybe it would be way better. Definitely gonna Try it when I get a Framework Laptop.

[Revenant]

I like using POP_OS I just wish they had a Plasma spin. I detest Gnome and have always installed KDE on top.

[Hidri]

I hate the name pop os. I wish they would change the name to COSM/OS

I'm looking for the best Lenox bistro for running blender my go-to 3D application you have a recommendation?

[nbcde]

I hope they allow you to change where the application menu opens at. It currently opens in the middle of the screen which I find pretty annoying. I personally like the fullscreen dash with the transparency blur from the previous version of gnome but if they want to keep it as a window, atleast open it where the application button is pressed. That way I don't have to move the mouse back to the middle of the screen after pressing it.

Also, as a long time Pop user, the biggest benefit of this new cosmic desktop is having the custom applets that can actually be used with pop shell. Anyone who has ever tried to use gnome extensions inside of the current cosmic probably had to disable pop shell to get them to work properly which means you loose the window tiling. Some extensions work fine but many will completely break your user experience.

[Tweaker]

Just curious, not being critical, but what is it that this new desktop environment does that justifies it's existence?

[raidev_]

console also has literally no settings page, a lot of missing functionality that gnome terminal has

[angrymoose]

I prefer the current version (Pop-desktop) which is Gnome with a couple of extensions, because it means I can keep it how System76 designed it or I can rice it with Gnome extensions. I love Gnome extensions. They make it the most customizable desktop environment

[moh.anifyuliansyah]

I very curious to wait COSMIC Desktop release, and I'm using Pop!_OS 22.04 now in my daily laptop. It's look gorgeous and cool IMHO

[Airmadillo]

Those guys @System76 are doing a great job!!
