COSMIC has come a long way, but is it enough?

    TBH I don’t think I will ever even consider using Cosmic since they chose to do their own thing theme and ecosystem wise. Like on Gnome I have a massive ecosystem and GTK4, so that blends. On KDE I have a massive ecosystem and QT, so that blends. On Cinnamon I have a moderately sized ecosystem and GTK3, so that blends.

    My Cosmic desktop would just be incoherent mess. Not only looks wise, but also in terms of having an experienced dev team and mature software. Maybe in five years I might consider it production ready and for actual use on my workstation, until then, I will just keep rolling my eyes at the literal “we remade everything in Rust” meme.

    Also I don’t feel comfortable using software from a company that has shows extremely shitty behaviour towards upstream in the past.

    I love COSMIC so far. As soon as it supports HDR, I’ll move to it full time. For now, I only run it on my non HDR laptop
