@onegeekarmy #COSMIC #COSMICdesktop i contribute the #Dutch #translations, most of them.
But I use it on #Fedora #Linux #KDE #Plasma as fallback and for the tools ( #Kate and #Dolphin )
Carl and Jeremy presented COSMIC Desktop at the Open Source Summit last month. Learn about the innovative engineering and design behind COSMIC in this video! #CosmicDesktop #Linux #OpenSource https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBcfjlFX-xM&ab_channel=TheLinuxFoundation

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
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.
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.

@linux
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.

System76 veröffentlicht neue COSMIC-Desktop Alpha 7 https://fosstopia.de/cosmic-desktop-alpha-7/ #Cosmic #CosmicDesktop #LinuxDesktop #System76
Fedora 42 released with KDE Plasma reaching edition status, COSMIC desktop spin, new installer experience with Anaconda WebUI, unification of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, X86 MIPI camera hardware enablement, optimized binaries for the x86_64 architecture using glibc-hwcaps, and many updated packages
Nice! Btw, are there plans to allow sizing apps differently than system tray icons? This is pretty important for traditional bottom-bar layouts
I am looking at PopOS the upcoming Cosmic desktop. I think it looks good, I like the ideas behind as far as I understand them. Has anyone tried it or has thoughts about it? My daily driver is Kbuntu but I am considering switching to PopOS when a new version with the stable Cosmic desktop comes is released.
Any comments or ideas?

New instance, new #introduction for pinning!
Hi ! I am Victoria, an autistic, ADHD, very gay and poly, trans woman robot catgirl thingy.
I go by it/its pronouns, but don't mind she/her. Not they/them, never he/him.
If your language doesn't have a separate set of pronouns for "things" or uses "generic masculine" variants, use the female variations (e.g. in german es/ihr).
This account is quirky and weird and so am I. *Appearing* professional (not to be confused with *acting* respectful and reasonable) is somewhat I personally despise and is in my opinion an expression of coperate dehumanization.
I post musings about my life, experiences, small victories, occasional vents, (occasionally lewd and cw'ed) shitposts, rare selfies, gender stuff, political things, mental health, .. a lot ...
I barely post about work on #COSMICdesktop, though I somewhat frequently post about FOSS and boost a lot cool tech stuff I come across.
Other than many things tech (keyboards, VR, mobile linux, wayland, self-hosting, ..) I am into music (#metalhead), Games (#HollowKnight my beloved) , bouldering, coffee, board games, hiking, ...
DMs are open, light flirting/compliments are fine and encouraged, for anything more get to know me and just ask.
Lastly: Trans rights, Black Lives Matter, Stand with Ukraine, Free Gaza, Bodily autonomy is a human right, Vaccines save lives, Punch Nazis. Any questions?
I don't understand why anyone would start writing a new desktop environment.
I just had a look at the #COSMICdesktop #cosmic website... And still don't see the "why" answered. What's the unique selling point?
Maybe I am just ignorant because #kde solves all the issues for me?
@BrodieOnLinux Could you tryout the new Meta + Scroll desktop zoom, it's buggy a hell! #CosmicCracking #System76 #CosmicDesktop #Cosmic #Alpha #testing #linux #COSMICstream
@marguerite ik gebruik google eigelijk voor video's, maar dat doe ik met #uBlockOrigin en niet ingelogd. Anders gebruik ik google voor videobellen. Tevens probeer ik niet van Microsoft afhankelijk te zijn:
#Linux #KDE #DesktopLinux #COSMICdesktop.
Maar ik begrijp dat niet álles op Linux kan... Als je tips wilt hebben hoe te ontgooglen heeft #duckduckgo daar informatie over, en anders kun je mij altijd vragen.
@BrodieOnLinux #CosmicCracking #Cosmic #System76 #Testing #Alpha #CosmicDesktop #Laptop #LaptopBattery #Linux #System76power Maybe people can help me to define the issue further... https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/issues/444
I'm working on #kdeconnect implementation in #rust https://github.com/hepp3n/kdeconnect
If I'm able to do this, there will be #cosmicdesktop applet https://github.com/hepp3n/cosmic-ext-applet-connect
Wish me luck since I'm just learning a lot new things and the code is a mess, but I hope I will go far with this ^^ At least with something which will works somehow haha
