Tired and curious.
Yeah, it looks like they’ve tried to tone down the annoying 'touch’iness of Gnome and it has built-in support for themes, etc - but the screenshots give a very similar vine to gnome overall.
Rust-based DE from Pop OS folks thats in a ‘public alpha’ right now. https://blog.system76.com/
Unicorn is an xfce based thing for Rhino Linux fhat also looks interesting.
Not quite. The current PopOs DE is a gnome fork with ‘cosmic shell’, etc. The Cosmic Desktop Environment that has yet to be released is just a new DE written in Rust that will replace this Gnome variant in future pop versions.
They give regular progress updates here: https://blog.system76.com/
Every one here arguing about kde and gnome - Im just vibin, waiting for Cosmic to hit v1.
