Wow amazing reply thank you! I thought pop used gnome. Will Gnome extensions continue to work once COSMIC replaces gnome? (I just really need the Dash To Panel extension haha)
Pop!_OS 22.04 uses GNOME with a lot of custom extensions and patches. Pop!_OS 24.04 will switch to COSMIC.
GNOME Shell extensions are JavaScript monkey patches that get injected directly into the gnome-shell process, which is running inside a JavaScript runtime. So they have no effect outside of GNOME Shell.
COSMIC panels are already configurable, so there’s no need for a third party panel applet to have dock applets embedded in the panel. You can configure the panel and dock to any layout. Be that a GNOME layout, Unity layout, Mac OS layout, Windows layout, etc.
It would be redundant to rebrand Pop!_OS to COSMIC OS. The cosmos was created by a Pop!
Ah ok that makes sense. I’m excited to try it! Does 24.04 release on 04 2024?
The Dash To Panel extension adds really convenient things though like being able to open the applications places in the top panel by click Super + 1-9 so it’s not just about having the apps in the top panel but I’m guessing someone will write something similar in COSMIC at some point ☻

Would Pop!_OS ever rebrand to CosmicOS?

24.04 releases somewhere near end of summer. Super + 1-9 is already bound to workspaces in COSMIC.
