OMG! Ubuntu:
May try and build it later, but it is not a million miles away from Gnome 
Not a very informative articleā¦
That is what happens when you base on article off of another articleā¦
This seems to be the original post.
Itāll be interesting to follow how this goes, I think itās a cool idea to keep their product as they want it without relying on gnome.
Thanks for sharingā¦I am interested in what they do to differentiate themselves. I mean thereās not really any point in completely duplicating Gnome in Rustā¦so they must be headed in some different directions?
Iād also be interested in EFL development status on Solus, when it starts?
Assuming it doesnt just end up being Gnome clone and actually has nice usability features and makes it easy to apply ICC profiles id use it.
Idgaf about the whole āmuh rustā hype, but im all for another DE with features i like if Gnome Devs completely shit the bed in the future lol 
Itās a totally new desktop. Gnome is out!
yeah but the question is are they just making gnome in rust? or actually going to have serious differences that make it worth using.
If its just a clone theres not really a point, its fine for Pop users but if that ends up the case then i dont care about it.
This is what Im hoping Cosmic doesnt end up being lol
Looks promising so far. I am more concerned about the extension support. Also, why GTK? Why not QT or just pure rust? I thought they tried to get out of Gnome as much as possible?
Probably because their users (and maybe their developers) are accustomed to a gtk-based system.
Building an entire DE without using a toolkit would be substantially more work. They probably donāt have the budget or time for that.
I am not sure that is really their goal. I havenāt seen it stated anywhere at least.
errā¦ itās not GTK. Theyāre using a Rust toolkit called Iced.
although, obviously, they will still make GTK and Qt apps work on their new DE, with theming too, as much as possible.
Well Pop! OS seems to bee very solid. And I really like the Pop! Shell at itās current state.
If their independent DE works as near as good or even better as paired with Gnome, Iāll switch to it without hesitation. Hopefully they will release it for other distros, too.
they will, itās been officially confirmed for a while, though the exact implementation will still depend on the maintainers of each distro
wellā¦ I have to say that itās very subjective, because I like the way it looks. Although I would still change some things, overall it feels good to me.
itās just really not your thing, I guess :d
Itās unfinished and rapidly changing, for example i really like that much more than what you call butt-ugly above 
Hi, there!
Now that Cosmic Desktop reached āalmost, but surelyā¦ albeit not really yet, but come on itās practically done, soā¦ā alpha stage, is there any movement on āourā side to see if itād be functional and integrated with Endeavour OS?
Besides users trying out the alphas/betas because itās fun and nice and why not, is there an intention over here to theme it, pack it with isoāsā¦ this kind of thing?
Just wondering. And possibly wasting everybodyās time, but hey!.. well, that.
Thanks for any pointers to info I sadly probably missed.
Works fine for me. Been running it occasionally for months.
So what does it do other than it looks different?
