Looks very nice, hopefully they’d fix the stutters visible in the tiling example before the final version. Also, I wonder if they also keep applications alive in case of compositor crash, like KDE would in Plasma 6 (but Gnome does not yet, AFAIK).

There’s no stutter in practice. It’s a recording artifact.

Good to know regarding the (non) stutters! Is there a mechanism to reconnect applications to the compositor after a crash so that they’d survive? (or at least a plan to make such a mechanism?)

do we have a time frame for when it will be ready?

Currently cosmic epoch is in pre-alpha. So I’d expect a release after the next major LTS release of Ubuntu 24.04 (first quarter of 2024).

POP!_OS is still regularly updated with latest Mesa and Kernel.

Considering the clashes system76 had with the GNOME team this seems to be going in a similar direction. Having a clearly defined way of theming applications instead of having themes just inject random css is the way to go in my opinion. I’m really excited to finally try Cosmic DE myself!

When Cosmic becomes stable I’d 100% use it over my Manjaro GNOME setup. this slaps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
