If all goes well, we can release the alpha by the end of March

Now Available on NixOS!

COSMIC Terminal joins a long list of COSMIC DE projects that have been packaged for NixOS! While COSMIC DE will be the flagship desktop for Pop!_OS, it's designed and architected for distros to build their own custom, branded user experiences. Details for distro packaging will be released at the same time as the alpha.

Yeah. I get that line of thought. But what they're making looks solid and has a coherence that feels appropriate for a branded distribution. I probably wouldn't make the same decisions but everything Pop!_OS feels like it's moving in the right direction.

I don't think it will be worth it for them in the long run and will result in a loss of quality.

That's valid. I'm more optimistic about it.
