Haven't been hearing much about Cosmic after the first releases. Anyone using it?

    I tried the beta for a while after it dropped. I liked it, but kept running into frustrating UI bugs. My favorite feature was the way you can seamlessly switch between floating and tiling modes. I’ll give it another try when it reaches release, because I am very excited by the direction it’s heading. It just needs polish.

    I use it as my default DE on my non HDR laptop. I won't use it on my other devices until it supports HDR, but once it does, I'll likely move to it full time

    What did you use before?

    And if it's KDE, could you do a quick comparison between the two? What features make you want to switch?

    I love KDE and have it dialed in exactly how I like it. I was able to get 90% of the way there with the Cosmic beta, which is good enough. The way you can toggle between tiling and floating is incredible. If I hadn’t kept running into frustrating GUI bugs I would have stuck with it.

    One other little thing that bothered me was the file manager GUI. KDE Dolphin is hard to beat, and Cosmic’s default is beyond bare-bones in comparison. If S76 keeps investing in Cosmic it could be the best DE by a mile within another year or two.
