There's just something "off" about Cosmic that I can't but my finger on. In the early alphas it was good, decent for being an alpha. But with every release, to me at least, it just feels like it's gotten worse. slower, features that haven't really been expanded on, etc. It just looks/feels like GNOME with the option of tiling. the options for customization, much like GNOME, are limited. no where near what you could potentially do with KDE. the thing is though if you want a DE with basic tiling then it stands out. its good for that. I mean sure you can get tiling with KDE if you use something like Krohnkite but that on it's own is pretty janky for certain things.

I dont' know it's weird. I once went from early alpha using COSMIC as a daily driver to now trying it out again and immediately getting rid of it. maybe I'll give it another swing today.
