#cosmic-desktop — Public Fediverse posts

After learning touch typing, one of the best changes I made was swapping Caps Lock and Ctrl.
I barely use Caps Lock, but I use Ctrl all the time. Reaching down to the bottom-left corner for Ctrl is awkward and uncomfortable. Swapping them makes typing so much smoother. I highly recommend it.

#CosmicDesktop

On parmak yazmayı öğrendikten sonra yaptığım en verimli değişikliklerden biri, Caps Lock ile Ctrl tuşlarının yerini değiştirmek oldu. Caps Lock'u günde yalnızca birkaç kez kullanırken, Ctrl tuşunu sayısız kez kullanıyorum. Her seferinde parmağımı klavyenin sol alt köşesine götürmek hem zor oluyor hem de sol elin dengesini bozuyor. Bu değişiklik sayesinde klavyeyi çok daha kolay ve akıcı bir şekilde kullanabiliyorum. Herkese tavsiye ederim.

Has anyone made the switch from #KDE Plasma to #COSMIC?

I'm tempted to rebase my #Fedora #Kinoite to #COSMIC Atomic now that COSMIC Files has scripting support: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-files/pull/1728

Things I discovered in a VM that I would be missing out on:
- inhibiting screen blanking
- wallpaper of the day

Things I'd gain:
- automatic tiling
- a simpler, less cluttered desktop

Things I'm concerned about:
- stylus support

Has anyone made the switch and is (un)satisfied with it?

Ich bin an Linux Mint & Fedora gewöhnt. Beides OS, die unauffällig im Hintergrund laufen. Ab & an probiere ich neue Linux-OS auf meinem alten Laptop aus. Heute war es PopOS, weil ich den Cosmic-Desktop hübsch finde. Hübsch ist er, doch obwohl PopOS auf Ubuntu aufbaut, war es ein sehr instabiles Erlebnis mit vielen eingefrorenen Bildschirmen, inkonsistenten Icons & nicht mehr zurück finden zu den ursprünglichen Konfigurationen.

Schwebende Fenster auf dem Desktop sind für mich bisher der Standard gewesen. #CosmicDesktop hat das geändert, jetzt bin ich angefixed und experimentiere mit dem Tiling-Wayland-Compositor #Niri. #linux #linuxdesktop

Tried the #COSMICdesktop in Fedora 44. Nice little desktop and the window tiling being easy to turn on and off is great.

I got slightly confuddled when the terminal window and text editor window merged into a combined group. That was cool, also potential for lots of typing in the wrong app 😄

Text editor stopped responding when trying to exit, it was the last app in the merged window group.

Missing a UI similar to NetworkManager in GNOME for creating an OpenVPN connection was disappointing. Nice to see a Wireguard option.

Overall I think it's shaping up really nicely, still needs more features to make it functional for my work laptop. It's largely stability issues, some additional system settings options.

As someone that regularly tests the Cosmic desktop, I have to agree, it's still just beta software and shouldn't be advertised as stable, even though the 1.0 version has been released.

I do like Cosmic, it has great potential, but misleading users just hurts the reputation of Cosmic, #popos and #system76

I've been using #Cosmicdesktop again on EndeavourOS and what I've liked the most is the improvement in performance which doesn't trigger high ram or cpu consumption when I'm using firefox with multiple tabs, live streams and videos with easyeffects enabled... :linux:👍 and that's a great point in their favor. #Linux

COSMIC Desktop 1.0.9 improves performance, hardens greeter security, and delivers fixes and enhancements across Files, Settings, Store, and more.

#linux #pop_os #COSMICDesktop is breaking me. You can't even hold control to drag and drop copy files in their file browser. This needs more time in the oven sorry. It's definitely snappy! But I guess that's not hard when you rip out so much functionality

Ich habe gerade den #CosmicDesktop für mich entdeckt. Ich bin wirklich positiv überrascht was #system76 hier auf die Beine gestellt hat. Look & Feel gefällt mir, Tiling Modus ist super. Es gibt wenig negatives zu berichten, wie z.B. dass der Launcher und Dateimanager nicht alle installierten Programme kennt (in meinem Fall #zathura als #pdfviewer). Das größte Manko aus meiner Sicht ist aber die fehlende Dokumentation, habe zumindest bisher nichts bedeutsames gefunden.

Wayland is pretty quick on @system76 's Cosmic desktop. Faster. I did lose a bunch of xdotool custom keyboard shortcuts, but wtype works fine as a substitute. If you update, screenshot and save your shortcuts first, so you can rebuild 'em.

Gaddamn this wifi drop-off/disconnection in latest cosmic desktop is REALLY annoying. It just cuts off so randomly. Or maybe a recent linux kernel version broke network manager somehow?

Im on 6.18.16-200.fc43.x86_64

#cosmicdesktop #linux

How are folks feeling about #COSMICdesktop? I’m honestly split. It’s way snappier than Gnome was and less buggy/unexpected behavior. But it also feels like it’s not “done” yet iykwim. Lots of having to click twice and stuff like that

@system76 I need to check if there are open bugs, but for me (on arch) cosmic (randomdly) do not pairs bluetooth devices at the session login.

Anyways great work guys !

@graves501 I believe its in the works for the roadmap but was wondering if I could use an existing solution that works with cosmic haha
