"Superior to alpha but only barely" is really hyperbolic. I use a modified Gnome via Zorin as basically a daily driver, and I have no issues with it. It's easier to use than Windows and MacOS in most cases for me.

No, I don’t realise that, because I’m not using the product and hear about it maybe 3rd time. That’s great they’re quick to implement, the Rust initiative, etc. But as a user of Gnome (since 2, idk if that’s forever) I don’t see much of a difference, and see only an inferior (at this point) product. I don’t mean it’s bad, I haven’t used it. Visually, it looks less polished / clean. Functionally, I don’t know, looks similar, more like a replica. Hence, my comment.

COSMIC is as similar to GNOME as KDE is similar to GNOME. There is barely any similarity at all.

Good for them. As a user I can much less about that though.
