    The only thing I am kind of skeptical about Cosmic is how it will handle other apps like KDE or GNOME apps, especially the Libadwaita ones. I have one question, will it be possible to kind of make them fit in the system or the other way around, make the system look like it has a libadwaita look? I just really love some consistency

      The desktop environment doesn’t control how applications look or function. Regarding theming, GTK3 applications need a GTK3 theme, GTK4 applications need a GTK4 theme, libadwaita applications need a libadwaita theme, and KDE applications need a KDE theme. Our tooling for generating themes will attempt to generate themes for other toolkits, but COSMIC applications have a different design language than GNOME or KDE applications.
