I personally am a fan I find it to be like spaces except I can see them which makes switching between tasks smoother.

Yeah, that’s a good way to put it. WMs in Linux, like with most features, kinda throw you in head-first into the deep end and can be overwhelming for novices.

Pop_OS’s window tiling system, on the other hand, is a little toned-down but can still be very powerful. From what I’ve seen, the new one coming in their Cosmic DE is even better, and features app-level abstraction in tabbing your tiled windows.

I tried out Pop_OS recently, functionality wise it's pretty good, I just find the UI very unpleasant to look at unfortunately.

Well, it’s about to change in April, so you don’t have to worry about that for much longer

I've seen some screenshots of cosmic and I'm still not a fan of how it looks. Unless I'm not seeing the right screenshots?

It’s been going through a very rapid, alpha development phase, so some screenshots you have seen me have been incomplete or may have changed since. I really don’t know what you’ve looked at or when. So I can’t say, but you might try looking at it again.

Also, remember, the interface can be customized quite a lot.

Any idea when it'll be released
