Written in Rust, looks pretty promising.

COSMIS is pre-alpha. Once a stable (or anything but alpha) release is made, it'll get packaged pretty fast and we can add it as an option. For now, it's a non-starter, cause that's probably several years away.

Thank you @killertofus for the PR, I requested some minor changes - after which I can merge and it will be joining the next release :)

I made the mistake of not checking the fine print on the COSMIC GitHub which states:

incomplete alpha

I will push a patch to hide this DE behind --advanced so that we don't cause unintended bug reports during next months ISO build. And I'll put a monitoring on their GitHub for a stable release and remove the advanced flag once it's out.
