I'm excited for Cosmic Desktop

From what I saw Cosmic has a lot of potential and looks pretty sleek too, right now I'm using KDE it's a great desktop, but now that I have a second monitor it randomly crashes on me, I think I'll switch to Cosmic when it reaches beta.

I can't wait to see what they can do, considering what System76 did with just GNOME.

I don't think anything's going to pry me from XFCE, though, except maybe if 4.20 hasn't made much progress on Wayland.

whats so good about XFCE

It's very bread and butter, but also very customizable. It's also decently lightweight. Not the lightest, but a good compromise between both.

Some distros don't have the best default config, though.

Yes, and the desktop is delightfully simple. Makes older hardware feel new but still looks good enough on modern hardware.
