where is it?
Still on Alpha 7 which was released back in April. I'm quite worried about Pop OS now. The stable release is still 22.04 with GNOME 42 from 2022 and they apparently don't plan to have a new distro release (or upgrade GNOME in 22.04) until COSMIC is stable, but it's been three years already and it's not even in beta. They're still providing maintenance updates for 22.04, but GNOME's file picker has had icon grid view since GNOME 44 released in March 2023 and Pop OS would have probably also had it by now if they weren't putting almost everything on freeze for COSMIC.
>>106521720I tried using the Cosmic Text library and it's a fucking joke. If the whole DE is at that level of incompetence, then it's dead on arrival
>>106521720delayed due to cutbacksUX team needed a new set of dragon dildos
>>106522161LMAOOOO
>>106522161Use case for Dragon dildos?
In my pocket
>>106521720on my bed.
Just use KDE
Beta comes out sept 25th
>>106524230(year unspecified)
The beta was announced last week by Carl for September 25th. Brodie made a video on it the moment Carl commented publicly that the release date was to be announced the week prior.Two months ago, Carl went to the Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit to give a live presentation on stage of COSMIC while explaining the technologies it uses.Meanwhile, Jeremy was at RustConf 2025 last week to give a presentation on Redox OS. At the end, he revealed that the whole presentation was being done in cosmic-reader running in Redox OS, so he demoed COSMIC apps running on Redox.So where were you the last couple months? They have been actively busy working on the beta.

>>106521720vaporwavethey have been working on it since 2020, a full time paid team. Meanwhile the freetards are miles ahead.COSMIC is full of bugs and memory leaks it's not even funny.>https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/2122>however there is a bug, the longer i leave my system on, the more the unnecesary ram cosmic takes up, even taking up 10GB of ram, even though in the beginning, it only took up around 3GB of ramits full of bugs like these and underneath there's the shiteating mmstick with his usual>are you sure? you are making this up. Rust doesn't have issues>oopsies turns out we wrote shitty buggy code again>but it's hard you knowfull time. paid team. using a toolkit they didn't write. no excuses.
>>106525381this. It's also ugly as shit and the theming is just recoloring and border radius. Mind you they hired full time UX and UI designers that were tasked with "copy libadwaita but don't make it obvious" and failed.
>>106525381> hey have been working on it since 2020The first commit for the compositor was published at the beginning of 2022. The GUI toolkit (libcosmic) did not get its first line of code until the end of 2022. After 22.04 released, they deliberated on multiple toolkits for several months. So this 2020 number is exaggerated.> ts full of bugs like these and underneath there's the shiteating mmstick with his usualFound the sore asshole over here projecting his love for eating shit. You sound mighty mad. mmstick has a lot of free real estate in your mind.
>>106525055
>>106525268>/g/ worker>running a pizzariaOH NO NO NO NO NO
>>106521994Why is every single rust project like this.
>>106521720It's another failed rust project
>>106525451hello mmstick!!!>The first commit for the compositor was published at the beginning of 2022even your first sentence is a lie, the first commit was on late 2021 https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp/commit/b7da65117e1cb42dd609a4417389dd996119bd1f but that's only the compositor. libcosmic's initial commit was a bit earlier in 2021. However cosmic started much earlier it just wasn't public, you can find talks on them talking about it in 2020.>The GUI toolkit (libcosmic) did not get its first line of code until the end of 2022the toolkit is iced, just because they forked and renamed it only to add 3 widgets and global linux state management it doesn't make it a "new toolkit". It's a soft fork. The merge with upstream often.>Found the sore asshole over here projectingmmstick, you forgot to reply on reddit!!! it's part of your duties as a system76 engineer to name search every 2 minutes! https://www.reddit.com/user/mmstick/
>>106525535So I'm off by a few months. Such a a scandal! You proved my point in the end. Now you can find a better hobby instead of obsessing over mmstick. He's not going to date you.
>>106525725NTA but mmstick is an ass, you can't say shit about cosmic without him appearing on any social media platform just to tell you that it's you who has the problem and are just holding it wrong
>>106523483*Krashes*
>>106525762I haven't seen him on the youtube comment sections of any COSMIC-related video for months now. I think he has given up.
Beta release is September 25th, per the CEO.https://fosstodon.org/@carlrichell/115153818548798678
>>106525787So at the end of October at the earliest. Got it.
>>106525809If you look at their taskboard, they still have 25 unfinished beta tickets. I guess they're just gonna release the beta anyway even if many of those don't make it to release candidate.https://github.com/orgs/pop-os/projects/23/views/1
>>106525841I mean, if they are willing to ignore the remaining issues, I guess you're right.If they are not, though, I wouldn't trust their estimate.
>>106521976such is the nature of rust
>>106525762You'd rather developers not socialize with their community? Seems the ass is not mmstick, but people like you who want to talk shit on other's work. Assholes think everyone who confronts them is an ass.
>>106525952An estimate would be a month without a day. Sounds like it's locked in no matter what.
>>106525771He commented on Brodie's recent COSMIC video to say "Two more weeks"
>>106521720I just built and ran cosmic-files and uhhhhhhh it's pretty rough. They should hire the pikeru dev.
>>106526181if developers cant take criticism then they should engage in it, simple asand the criticism on cosmic 99% of the time is legit issues ("there's a memory leak", "it uses too much cpu"), which mmstick cant accept and spergs out every single time, only to fix it later
>>106526839>actually fixing things
waited a long time for this but eventually I just switched to ubuntu. It just werks and isn't outdated like popos
>>106526916COSMIC fixes the rust memory leaks... only after you spend 3 days explaining to them that just because they can't reproduce it on their chinese laptops, it doesn't mean it's not there
Hey guys you know how we could improve this Linux thing?First let's pull in a hard requirement on a shitty compiler that doesn't run on anything but the latest AMD64 base processors. Then let's re-write our shitty DE in this shitty hard to follow language because memes.Those 20 other WMs and DEs we could easily cobble a working system out of that's better than this shitty DE we're using now? Nah. Just ignore all that shit. We NEED to clone the worse DE in the ecosystem and we NEED to do it in this shitty programming language. We'll just provide backports for 10 years while everyone waits.Memory leaks? Impossible. This is a memory safe language! We don't have to look for bugs. Compiler prevents them all! That's why it takes 5 hours to compile hello world on the latest CPUs!Why do normalfags and retards on /g/ fall for this shit in the first place? I've been watching faggots make worse versions of Debian for decades now. Everyone hops on them like they're something amazing. Even though it's the same bullshit everyone else has been shitting out for years. Is apt really so hard?Sick of seeing all this garbage shilled everywhere while actually interesting distros and forks are left to rot because no one uses them. So the one-three guys working on them get burned out and discouraged. But yet another debian/arch clone? Holy shit guys! It's amazing! It RUNS GAMES! WTF THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. OH MY GOD IT EVEN HAS AN INSTALLER.

>>106527023You can always go back when COSMIC is out.>>106527128COSMIC has a ton of features Gnome doesn't and doesn't need extensions for basic shit like tray icons and desktop icons.>while actually interesting distros and forks are left to rotMaybe because those are actually shit and you're coping?
still no ubuntu ppa for cosmic shell
>>106527438>>106527393Lunduke is such a subversive kike
>>106527794Ragebait pays the bills o algo. Seems people have gotten tired of his shtick by now though.
>>106527446>COSMIC has a ton of features Gnome doesn't and doesn't need extensions for basic shit like tray icons and desktop icons.So like everything else that isn't Gnome?>Maybe because those are actually shit and you're coping?Maybe you people are too retarded to run anything but spoonfed Windows and Mac OS and should just fuck right off.You can't be content fucking over everything else though can you? You have to bring your cancer to the UNIX world.>>106527294Ah yes the false left/right dichotomy. Nothing can exist but your two prepared shitty choices. Anything outside of them is "tinker tranny shit".
>>106528413>liking convenience is Windows/Mac user behaviorThis is why Linux is still so far behind.
>>106528616There is absolutely nothing "convenient" about modern Gnome, Windows or Mac OS compared to what they were in the late 90s-early 2000s. Gnome and GTK have been raped thoroughly since version 2.x. To hell with everyone involved.Systemd isn't "convenient" either. Wow such an improvement. Now instead of setting something in a text file the system ignores it and pings google every 5 minutes for some reason. Bloated piece of shit spyware.Just fuck off back to Windows and Mac OS where you can get raped on a daily basis. That's all you fags want. Someone to shove a dildo up your ass and extract all the meta data they can.
>>106528672Who mentioned GNOME or systemd? You sound pretty obsessed.
>>106528413>noooo your desktop can't be usable like windows or macos it needs to be tinkertranny garbageware otherwise I don't feel special using it!!!!!!
>>106528690>>106528697>no argumentsThanks for admitting defeat. Fucking /g/arbage board.
