COSMIC is a Wayland desktop environment for Linux that is written in Rust with Smithay and Iced. COSMIC applications are developed with the libcosmic platform toolkit, which is based on iced. They are cross-platform and supported on Windows, Mac, and Redox OS in addition to Linux.
As COSMIC nears its alpha release in Q1 of 2024, we have thus far developed a terminal, file manager, and text editor for our desktop environment within the last few months.

Nice, was able to get cosmic-edit and cosmic-term working on windows even. cosmic-files crashes out with a windows memory error, the crash doesn’t happen within cosmic-files though so I can’t get a backtrace. It does seem to work well enough through WSL2 though
Make sure to report issues on GitHub with details so we can investigate it when we have time.
will do when I find the time. Didn’t know it was in that stage yet. Don’t like spamming issue tickets for new projects that haven’t had time to spread its legs yet.
