The choice to ship with a beta version of the new DE is interesting. Is it that stable now and will there be a clear upgrade path to the final release?
I’m tempted to grab the beta myself and just go for it now…
Edit: fuck it, I just upgraded my install. Not like I do much important on my computer anyways. This is really nice, almost no pain from the upgrade and other than a couple of menus staying open when I click off of them it’s been running just fine. Now to abuse it…
You can install it and start it only if needed, there’s no need to fiddle with your current DE
For System76, the choice is to keep shipping their now very long in the tooth previous version or a beta of their new one. I have no doubt the beta is the better experience.
And they are obviously stabilizing the beta rapidly now.
No it is not lol
I have no idea of the experiences of new users. The biggest issue is that PopOS has no KDE Plasma spin, so users can either use GNOME or their thing
I will give the desktop another try. Their apps are all very minimal. Cosmic files has network shares though which is nice!
I installed it in a VM to get the repo files as I found no better way. Now I use some cosmic apps on Debian GNOME
I havent found any bugs myself, not in the actual desktop environment. I run it every day and it has never crashed either.

Its in pretty good shape for a beta, and gaming seems way more stable on it versus their old version with gnome, but I’m still considering going back for now, there are just too many bugs as of now.
COSMIC is wonderful.
I’m on hyprland but wanting to move due to controversies, how is cosmic?
I love it. It gets basic window tiling done just as good as Hyprland.
Nice. Just in time to fill for collaborationist Framework
