It will be possible to configure COSMIC to look like Unity out of the box. There's only a few panel applets that need to be implemented to make the experience 1:1.

I wanna see cosmic so much. The whole hybrid graphics thing looks sweet
Test it and report bugs using this ublue image! It is pre-alpha and not guaranteed to have a working fallback session (in this case GNOME).
I am still a bit confused that it's considered pre-alpha, when a final release is scheduled for later this year. That will be an awfully short alpha, beta and RC cycle then.
Unfortunately, I have a Mac, so currently stuck with fedora asahi, and poor old KDE :P. Tho 6 is gonna be sooo good
Hell yeah. If there's a applet that puts the app menu on the panel I'm golden.
PRs to cosmic-panel and libcosmic are welcome
This looks great. Is there also an easy way to make it work like "dash to panel", with open apps in the top taskbar area?
Yes, you can do anything with COSMIC's dock and panel. No extensions needed. If an applet exists on the system, you can embed it into your panel or dock.
Whoa, nice. Sounds like the best of GNOME and KDE combined, plus extra goodies like tiling. I'm not sure I can give up the AUR so I hope I can use this on Arch one day.
This is what I've been chasing for a while. Bspwm like tiling with a unity like interface for the status bar, dock, system management, etc. I've been debating trying this through xfce or kde but havent had the spoons to give it a go
Are there any plans for enabling a global menu like Unity had or if writing an extension for one is possible? I miss it every day 😅.
It's looking great though! I'm very hyped to try it
Nice!
Needs the unified menu for the active/maximized window at the top. Else, it's perfect.
Nice work
Does it look like KDE or some other DE out of the box and this is a Unity theme / skin?

You can also probably run it from a rootful distrobox following this guide
