"I've been using Pop!_OS as my default desktop operating system for about a decade now, and I've had very few complaints. Sure, at times, the app store was buggy, so I just used the command line. Of course, the desktop wasn't quite as flexible and configurable as I typically like, but there are always extensions. As with any Linux distribution, where there's a will, there is most certainly a way."
"Imagine taking the GNOME desktop, rewriting it using a faster programming language, and making it customizable on the level of KDE Plasma. That's what COSMIC desktop is. The first thing that hit me with the first stable release of COSMIC desktop was its speed. Other than a handful of lightweight desktop environments, COSMIC is, hands down, the fastest DE that I've ever used. That's not an exaggeration."
"On top of that, COSMIC is beautiful. In less than a minute, I had the desktop configured to look like something pretty special. From within Settings > Desktop, you can configure accent colors, themes, panels, docks, window management, and workspaces. If you'd rather have a dock (instead of a pane) at the bottom of your display, click Dock and then enable the feature."
Pop!_OS 24.04 introduces COSMIC Desktop as a stable, non-beta release, combining GNOME concepts rewritten in a faster programming language with deep configurability similar to KDE Plasma. COSMIC emphasizes speed, delivering one of the fastest desktop experiences outside of lightweight environments. The desktop offers extensive aesthetic and workflow choices, including accent colors, themes, panels, docks, window and container background colors, window management, and workspace controls. Users can toggle between a dock and a pane and customize layouts within Settings > Desktop. The release maintains reliability and accessibility, while prior app store issues could be bypassed via the command line or extensions for added flexibility.
