I LOVE Cosmic. It gets a three star because at the current moment, in March 2026, it just isn't ready to be a daily driver. However Cosmic is the future of Linux desktops. It's use of Rust will help handle memory leaks and increase security. It just needs a little more time until it becomes that future!
