Considering the clashes system76 had with the GNOME team this seems to be going in a similar direction. Having a clearly defined way of theming applications instead of having themes just inject random css is the way to go in my opinion. I'm really excited to finally try Cosmic DE myself!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nice work! Glad to see it improving so much over a short period. I am interested in how programms based on Qt or gtk/libadwaita will look/ be themed in Cosmic. Are there any news about that?
As far as I remember, they said in some reddit post that the theming will be shared.
Haven't they started working on Cosmic instead of using Gnome and gtk because Gnome devs restricted theming? It sounds weird that they'd be able to import their themes to gtk apps, when it was the trigger for their move in the first place.
Im really curious. I use the gnome that comes with pop now. I really cant wait to explore cosmic.
Looks very nice, hopefully they'd fix the stutters visible in the tiling example before the final version. Also, I wonder if they also keep applications alive in case of compositor crash, like KDE would in Plasma 6 (but Gnome does not yet, AFAIK).
I’m hyped af for this! Hopefully gtk apps integrate well.
I can't wait to finally use it!
do we have a time frame for when it will be ready?
Currently cosmic epoch is in pre-alpha. So I'd expect a release after the next major LTS release of Ubuntu 24.04 (first quarter of 2024).
POP!_OS is still regularly updated with latest Mesa and Kernel.
