    Cosmic is fun and has a lot of potential. It’s a bit like a new take on XFCE. However it has weird limitations and bugs still. For example when editing the top and bottom panel, it’s divided into beginning, end, and center. XFCE and other solve this with providing a flexible space to achieve the same.

        Yes, it’s early days.

        There are a couple of really cool projects going on at the moment, that use some kind of tiling.

        DankLinux and Noctalia used with niri is worth trying for example.

        Omarchy gets a lot of hate, however it’s actually really well done. Probably the best intro to a tiling window manager with keyboard focus. The included features are well thought out. Included documentation is excellent. It also looks great. Lots of attention to detail. It shows how to make a distro that’s very different from Windows and Mac OS. Instead of trying to ape the popular OS, it leans into the strengths of Linux.
