ha, typical. Somehow the new #System76 desktop environment #cosmicde just clicked in the past week, after on and off trying out it and window tiling and stacking. Now that I have a flow of managing my windows this way, today's Cosmic updates break the Workspaces part of the panel

Too much editions of #GarudaLinux ? Never enough. There is a new one coming with the brand new Cosmic desktop developed by @system76.

La distro #Linux Garuda, basée sur #ArchLinux, propose de nombreuses éditions venant avec un DE différent. Il y en a une nouvelle équipée du nouveau bureau #CosmicDE

So, it was time again to update my Password Manager enabled #COSMICTerm branch for the #COSMICdesktop Alpha 6 release.

So if you use a lot of passwords in your terminal, this might be something for you.

Hello, I just made an account on #bluesky but I don't know what to follow :P

Any #linux #cosmic #cosmicde #popos #rust related stuff from your recommendations? Thansk!

btw. you can follow me there: https://bsky.app/profile/hepp3n.bsky.social

even if I'm not huge spammer haha

btw2. To be honest, I'm used to Mastodon more, but it's good to have more sources to read in free time :D

Just added option to import theme from .ron files to Quick Web Apps!

So basically, we can go to https://cosmic-themes.org download desired theme, and use it with Quick Web Apps :)

Happy Friday!

I decided to try and use #cosmicde for daily work for a bit and see how I get on. The first thing I had to work around was SSH key management but that wasn't too big of an issue. Not sure if I'll stick with using workspaces, though. It's a bit of a hassle to manage so many different ways to switch between applications.

Working my way through creating various kinds of apps. Web: check. CLI: check. TUI: check.

I’d like to create a GUI next, and particularly if there’s something in the Windows/Mac world that’s missing on Linux. Or just fun. Probably with libcosmic and definitely in Rust.

Suggestions?

I have now updated my Password Manager enabled #COSMICTerm branch with the latest changes upstream. (Woho, I can click on links now!)

I really like this color scheme!

Happy Friday!

Hello from #cosmicde ! Let's see how this goes!

Does anyone know how management of secrets is supposed to work on #cosmicde ? I installed it on my Fedora machine which also has GNOME on it so I'm still using GDM and gnome-keyring is installed but either it doesn't unlock on login to COSMIC or something else is fishy. I tried interacting with Github via SSH but that didn't work automatically and I wasn't prompted for a passphrase either. On GNOME that just works.

Ok, back to #Gnome after a two weeks of #COSMICdesktop Alpha 4, and this time my gnome desktop had survived. Nice, to see that they fixed that issue. #Cosmic is making good progress and is now quite usable.
Now, on my hardware and with my setup, it is mostly minor (but still very important) things like Alt-Tab functionality, and similar things that drives me back to gnome.

So, unexpectedly good for Alpha software. Looking forward to trying the next relese of the #cosmicde.

I think Fedora 42 is a little optimistic of a timeline, given the current state of the Cosmic DE, I wouldn't mind swapping my travel laptop (which just got a fresh re-install of the KDE spin of Fedora 41*) to a Cosmic DE spin of Fedora 43.

*: I needed to do a fresh reinstall for several reasons, including clearing out some cruft left over from the original F39 install and undoing some oopsies from the past couple of weeks.

Just updated my #Cosmic Term Password Manager branch for #cosmicde alpha 4
