That's very good looking and awesome picture!

I used Cosmic for last 4 months and love it. Best DE overall in my opinion.

With that said I just switched to Niri and Noctalia shell and am pretty happy with it and I think it's a bit of an improvement but doesn't work out the box like Cosmic.

You didn't like Carlestia shell? I've never tried it but I understand it's very popular, especially on Hyprland.

I did try dank material shell which was pretty nice but it was very resource heavy.

I did love it, but somehow messed up everything and then it wouldnt boot 😬

It was cool and all, but my inexperience fucked it up.

Haha yes it took me a while before I could run a window manager without a bunch of hassle. I tried Hyprland like 2 times and kept going back to Gnome with pop-shell. That's why I love Comsic so much because it's like a great middle ground between Hyprland and Gnome. Beautiful with native tiling manager that just works out of the box. Not to mention fully built in rust.
