A little early, isn't it? I heard Cosmic is still relatively unstable since it's still in beta.

Yes it is. It's in Alpha because it's not feature complete yet.

But not everyone needs a feature-complete Desktop Environment. Some people are OK with a basic window manager.

Despite known bugs (reproducible crashes), many people are happy with it already.

Guess some of those use Garuda.

I'm actually waiting with baited breath for the release, because Universal Blue is already cooking a Cosmic version in the meantime. It will be awesome to rebase to that when it's ready.

It hasn't been mentioned publicly, because of the fact that it's still Alphaware, but you can find it in their GitHub repos.

Garuda is arch-based, so "early adoption of partially completed software" is more of a feature than a bug to some users.
