COSMIC seems cool, though I don't love the visual style myself. Someone I know who used it ran into the problem that it mounts network shares using a mount unit, which is good, but it doesn't add nofail, which is really really bad, because it means you hang at boot waiting for it to mount. I'm sure they'll figure this out, but I really have been wondering where to report this issue specifically; it's hard because I don't know where it actually exists in the code (and I couldn't find it quickly.)

Since when did “scratch-built” become equivalent to “built from scratch”? As a non-native English speaker, do I need some more English classes?
Cosmic looks very interesting and very unfinished. Maybe it is the teal accent, maybe it is janky transitions. Nonetheless, I’m happy to see some fresh Linux Desktop Environment.

> Cosmic provides a plethora of features that I don’t really use in my day-to-day computer operations
That kind of defeats the purpose of the distro (or a big part of it at least).
