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!

Would Pop!_OS ever rebrand to CosmicOS?
