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.

I love that it isn’t all soft corners everywhere, but the pill-shaped buttons and selections seem out of place. I hope they can be made more square.
Corner roundedness is personal preference in the Appearance page in COSMIC Settings. Similar to interface density.
