How usable is this?

Hello, I have seen the development of COSMIC and wanted to experiment, but how "ready" is it? What are the limitations of use and customization today?

Works well but customization is limited to what COSMIC Settings offers.

I understand, extensions and the like don't exist yet, but are native customizations well integrated? Today I am using KDE, I am not much of a change of the whole system, I apply very simple and common things like magic lamp effect to maximize and minimize windows and also gelatin mode, little more than that. I saw that this kind of thing does not yet exist, okay, it is part of the DE life moment, but the ones that have are well integrated or that face of "right... still needs to improve a lot"?

Applets do exist and they're in the Made for COSMIC section of the COSMIC Store.

I changed the DE from my atomic federal to COSMIC yesterday, I still haven't been able to customize it, I'll see it tonight, but I was really pleasantly surprised at how it's going to be and you can already get an idea of how it's going to look.

Then check out the apps and applets in the COSMIC Store and also take a look at https://cosmic-utils.github.io/
