#COSMICdesktop

Vacation, day 1.

Cleaned windows. Washed curtains. Watered lime and yuzu plants. Cleaned coffee machine. Re-stocked fridge. Re-fueled car. Cooked vegetables for the week.

Updated all computers and partitions. Bought a color ebook reader. Fiddled with #labwc refusing to resize itself in a vm. Tested again #COSMICdesktop after some months and releases.

Les panels et docks de COSMIC sont des compositeurs Wayland imbriqués, il est donc possible de programmer de nouveaux applets dans n’importe quel langage, avec n’importe quel toolkit compatible Wayland, et les applets tiers peuvent être sandboxés et distribués en tant que flatpaks.

i wrote a bit of #rust and created an applet to show the weather (using wttr.in) in my panel (in #COSMICdesktop ). it needs a bit more work for it to re fetch the weather every hour or so, maybe nicer emojis in the panel, and I need to find a wttr.in format that looks good, but i'm already pretty happy with it ^^

i'm usually a backend dev only, so the frontend bit was new and confusing at first, but not insurmountable. nice little coding adventure :cateyes:

My computer made me mad last night so I rage wiped it and am trying #PopOS with their #CosmicDesktop

The user-friendly version of a tiling workspace is interesting. I'm only a few minutes into using it, but it seems like a much better intro to tiling for folks than just dumping them in Sway.

@garuda @linux @mxlinux

oh yeah! I really like it. I think it just auto-created a new workspace for me, when i attempted to tile .. from vert to horizontal placement to see the full terminal command line
(probably super + down then down again (or up))

but, it just made a new workspace for the window. unexpected, but i like it. it was a perfect compromise / option for the tiled placement, IMO.

This works for me!

I really like the Tiling options/ interface. Done and done. simple and functional. i may be home!?

as one who spends much time also with an #MXLinux env, @mxlinux y'all out to check out COSMIC.

EDIT: the "Dock" type bar at left, does AUto-close and typically not present. but always there for the screenshot, unless move the window "in front" of it, then it does collapse. cool.

My modified #PopOS is having a risky window system flaw where when a new window opens, sometimes the one underneath it retains focus... I've almost copy-pasted some stuff into a chat when it was supposed to go somewhere else.
My setup is really glitchy. I want to switch to something that works better, but I have so much config that might get lost... I think I'll hold out until #COSMICDE . At least until it works on #Nvidia + #Wayland !
