I use Cosmic on a DGX Spark, as my daily driver, and it works pretty well.
They don’t have a pop os iso for arm64, but they do have arm64 Debian repo. So I just took DGX os (what Nvidia ships on the device), added the pos os “releases” repo, and installed cosmic-session.
It works like a charm and provides a super useful tiling experience out of the box.
This is replacing my M3 Pro as my daily driver and I’ve been pretty happy with it.
I recently upgraded to an ultrawide monitor and find the Cosmic UX to be hands down better than what I get in the Mac with it.
If you want a Linux desktop with the productivity boost of a tiling window manager with a low learning curve, it’s pretty good.
