Course set: the first alpha of Pop_OS 24.04 is scheduled for release on August 8th. So if you've been counting the days until you can try the new COSMIC
What I am most excited for in COSMIC is the promise of tiling in a full DE. I like the idea that you can switch back and forth.
I started trying it out a month or so ago. Still pretty incomplete. Promising though.
The fact that it may drive the Rust GUI ecosystem forward is exciting as well. I do not need to see everything re-written in Rust but it will be great if Rust is a realistic option for new app dev.

Exactly this! Powerful tiling without the need to build your own DE from scratch sounds incredible!
It’s actually really good. I’ve been running the prealpha at times, and I’ve had no issues with tiling.
I’m missing 2 things from a real tiler: sloppy focus (WIP), and static workspaces.
I guess I will try it out then… Is it in conflict with plasma-meta?
