This might be what I was looking for all along in a window manager. For the longest time, I've been dissatisfied with the drawbacks of both floating and tiling WMs, but hopefully this can deliver the best of both worlds.

Good. I can't think of the curved screen as anything other than a nuisance.

I'm incredibly interested in COSMIC DE! For multiple different reasons, actually.

1. Rust - I'm very interested to see how performant/memory-efficient this DE will be compared with other DEs. Also, I wonder how the Iced toolkit will evolve and be adopted in other projects.
2. Benefits over GNOME - I'm looking forward to seeing how much out-of-box customizability and features come with COSMIC over GNOME (which I'm currently using).
3. Maintainability going forward - Since the DE basically started from scratch and is using a much better language for robust software, I wonder how much easier and faster it would be to maintain the desktop environment. This potential improved maintainability could be huge in overtaking other DEs sometime soon.
