    I think they will come back very quickly in 2024 and there will a big surge in popularity thanks to cosmic, specially if it’s better than Gnome in ways people care about. Will be so much fun to see.

      I don’t think a newly released DE can get better than gnome or Kde. They’re very stable and they both have amazing support as well as innumerable add-ons and tweaks.

      I tried cosmic in VM and they have a long way to go. Whatever they release in 2024 will be just barely usable, nothing more. Think of stability of KDE 4.0 with 1% of its features. I’m not saying that they are doing a bad job, quite the opposite. But what they have right now is only nearing the bare minimum, and the road ahead is long.
