I tried cosmic for a long time (yr+), but it always seemed a little unstable. Maybe my hardware, but mint is running just fine

I had the same experience with cosmic. It was prone to crashes. I really like the idea of combining gnome with i3wm/hyprland though. I currently have one box using gnome with a tiling shell extension, but the issue there is extensions not being well supported between gnome versions.

I wouldn't be opposed to retrying cosmic now. It's been a few years.

I'd definitely say try it again. It's been rock solid for me for about a year. Definitely had stability issues when it was newer.

I had tons of stability issues within the last year unfortunately, I would still recommend against it.

Have you tried out O-tiling? It's a fork of PopShell. I've been contributing some minor bugfixes. It's been working very well on GNOME 50.

No I haven't, but I think I'll give that shot. Thanks for the heads up.

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.
