COSMIC is a Wayland desktop environment for Linux that is written in Rust with Smithay and Iced. COSMIC applications are developed with the libcosmic platform toolkit, which is based on iced. They are cross-platform and supported on Windows, Mac, and Redox OS in addition to Linux.
As COSMIC nears its alpha release in Q1 of 2024, we have thus far developed a terminal, file manager, and text editor for our desktop environment within the last few months.

Michael probably can’t say it, but there’s a lot of people out there looking for “just” Gnome without it’s original developers. For illustration you may simply google “gnome devs” and read the titles popping up. That said, lots of drama and not the most worthwhile usage of your time.
