cosmic VS unity8

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)

Yes....finally ported to Debian FROM Ubuntu. The whole reason it was named Lomiri is that people had a problem with the Unity8 name. Aticle is sort of clickbait-ey. So you can look at the 3 months worth of work on Debian or you can look at the 5+ years worth of work while it was on Ubuntu . Even the website is Ubuntu specific. However seeing how Ubuntu is a derivative from Debian, most things should work.

Https://lomiri.com links to https://github.com/ubports/unity8 and this repository is accessible.

Lomiri DE Components: 80%

i this you linked to the wrong unity8 ... https://lomiri.com/ is the renamed unity8 that is used in the ubuntu touch phones now ubports phones

Unity. Yes, it's still around (now going by "unity8" and maintained and developed by UBports now instead of Canonical but it's still the same DE we all know and hate er love). Obv not my cup of tea so I'm not very knowledgeable about it so could be way off but who knows, maybe we'll get a Unity lover here and they can chime in. github

Probably not. There are two projects that are continuing the development of Unity though. Mind you that these are in name only since neither are being built off of Unity7. The first is Lomiri. It is being developed by UBports. The second is UnityX. It is being developed by the same people who maintain the Ubuntu Unity Remix.

Lomiri

Not sure, but I think it rebranded as lomiri, and their webpage claims it isn't ready for desktop use yet. There's also links to their github there, if you want to have a look.
