Desktop state is neatly organized using freedesktop standards. Since components are so modular, it’s trivial to replace or modify any of them using any client program you wish.

    I love everything I’m seeing about this desktop! I haven’t been able to find info on it but if they add an option to use horizontal workspaces rather than the vertical layout then I might drop Sway for cosmic

      option to use horizontal workspaces rather than the vertical layout

      This option has already been implemented in the COSMIC alpha which can be downloaded from the System76 website as part of POP!_OS 24.04 alpha or installed on various Linux distros like Fedora, Nix and Arch.

      If you press super+W you get a workspaces overview a la GNOME overview or KDE Plasma’s overview where one can move windows around to different workspaces graphically.

      It also supports both floating, manual window snapping, and dynamic manual tiling and configuration via text files.
