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.

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.
