>Cosmic 1.0 released
It is actually happening. It is over for GNOME/KDE duopoly. A third competitor has entered the chat.
Will KDE and GNOME even be able to compete given that they have 30 years worth of legacy code?

I'm pretty sure virtually no code from 20-15 years ago exist on GNOME's side. Its not like GNOME uses Sawfish/Sawmill anymore. The last traces of ancient code probably vanished decades ago. But to be fair KDE has a lot of legacy apps that receive new QT/KDE frameworks while staying the same so there is truth that legacy code is present, its probably mostly concentrated in KDE apps not desktop enviorments.

Are all a pain. Been using COSMIC for 3 or so months and it's been a bit annoying.

Wait, there is!
>For users on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, upgrade notifications will begin rolling out in January 2026. Those wishing to upgrade immediately can do so via the pop-upgrade release upgrade -f command after backing up their data

>backing up their data
hahahaah, lets go.

You need to type "yes, do as I say!"

No, because KDE is a complete desktop experience + software ecosystem packed with features cosmic won't be able to achieve in decades to come.

Something tinkertrainies fail to grasp as always.

>GNOME
Written in C, stable af used on enterprise distros (RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu Pro)
>KDE
Written in C++, feature rich, can be buggy, fast to adopt stuff.
>Cosmic
Written in Rust, inspired by GNOME with extensions, memory safe, company behind it.
>hmm
I don't know, I think I'll stick with GNOME. Good old C, just like my Linux Kernel. As long as you don't use rolling release distros, your extensions will never "break".

This main character complex you've got going on, it's embarrassing to watch.
