cosmic VS pocillo-gtk-theme

They are both called Cosmic to make things less confusing.

Download the source code of the COSMIC Desktop: git clone https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic

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.

I'm using PopOS with Wayland on a Surface Go 2, and can't find a way to switch between workspaces and apps using multitouch gestures. There's a bug report here touching on these issues but I'm wondering of anyone has found a good workaround or fix for this. Any advice appreciated!

FWIW, I've also created a Github issue on the subject: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic/issues/386

The 'Cosmic' name also indicates that; see https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic.

Just to be clear, you are talking about the Pop Launcher and not the Cosmic Applications Launcher, correct? (since there may be some confusion around what the "Pop Launcher" is vs. the "Cosmic Applications Launcher" ... see https://imgur.com/a/XN34drv for images)

You're not really going to ever simply forget what OS you're on, if you are going for the mac look and feel. In my opinion you should be looking at https://ubuntubudgie.org and install my http://kinto.sh app, the global menu is easy to activate in Budgie. If you also really want imessage then you can also take a look at https://airmessage.org and setup a VM on another box if you need to - but you will need to gather some genuine mac values https://github.com/myspaghetti/macos-virtualbox.

First off.. this is not an official release like my Kinto project, but you can install https://ubuntubudgie.org and use their global menu or run my script which will fully configure everyone w/ my Kinto project and other various fixes.

Ah yes. I love Manjaro, I ran it on and off for a few yearas. I had to switch distros recently because of the many sub-versions of java and package management unfortunately. So I moved to Ubuntu Budgie. https://ubuntubudgie.org/

To clarify you mean Ubuntu Budgie right?

Other guy misspelled it, so here's a link.

TIL Ubuntu Budgie is a thing.

Linux often times lack polish and to me.. it is surprising how put together it can actually feel once you have both polish and functionality combined and that is the difficult part that you will rarely see. Try out ubuntubudgie.org and configure it to look like a Mac, if you are developer that uses a mac, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Unlike in past years there is a distro out there that has every component you need baked in besides xfce4-terminal, which to me is better than Tilix, and simpler looking.

If you want something different then I suggest you try out ubuntubudgie.org. https://www.reddit.com/r/UsabilityPorn/comments/ltfm2m/budgie_ubuntu_budgie_clean_and_simple/
