Ran git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

The repo readme has instructions for installing test builds.

I think there might be some confusion in this poll and thread -- COSMIC is the name of both a suite of components in Pop_Shell, which modifies (but does not replace) GNOME shell components like the dock and workspaces, as well as a full-fledged desktop environment that replaces GNOME.

system76 is using it to develop their new cosmic desktop environment for linux. The code is here https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

We'll see how it starts panning out this year or next.

I have compiled and installed cosmic to test and follow development - https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

See https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

I heard that the Iced version of COSMIC will allow horizontal and vertical workspaces: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/53

They're even already producing their own Linux distribution, CBL-Mariner, https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux

This became even more interesting as Microsoft started to open source core technology such as Powershell, the DotNET platform, their internal Linux distribution, and much more. All this hosting on GitHub also made sense acquisition wise.

Quite a few servers and network switches, actually.

Likely a recognisable ‘Windows’ GUI on-top of CBL-Mariner

Nothing new. For several years they already developed and maintained CBL-Mariner (Common Build Linux) https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner Which od a base for Azure Linux and other projects.
