What's the point of this thing again? Looks no different to me than gnome.
its like gnome but good
I wonder who made this thread.
>>106559127it's gnome but rusty
>>106559127Is it out of beta yet?
>>106562220beta starts in like a couple of weeks
>>106559127its Gnome but not made with retardation (GTK, Vala)
>>106560013it's like gnome, but good, but abandoned
>>106559127I like it
>>106559127Cosmic uses a lot of features that GNOME nor KDE use.
>>106559127It has auto tiling out of the box. Makes it automatically better than Gnome.Once you get used to it you cannot go back to floating windows.
>>106559127providing a decent experience that gnome was supposed to deliver, without being anti-feature. Its still in alpha, but you can use it just fine for basic tasks, although I would at least wait for beta to get somewhat stable experience. Would love to use it myself but I need windows-only software, plus system76 people are commiepedotroons, so I dont want to support them (but its fine if you dont care).
>>106564681for example?
>>106565001multiple hardware planes.got a lot of crashes in AMDGPU because COSMIC actually uses modern features.
have they heard of something called padding?https://system76.com/cosmic/
>>106565044thats how you can tell freetards made it they hate perfection
>>106565108they have two options, either more horizontal padding which would look weird or decrease the border radius which would be the better way instead of this pill shit.fucking retards, I mean you don't have to be a designer to see that it looks like trash
>>106565142Since day 1 a lot of windows have different rounding from its border and it drives me fucking insane, so I just used it squared. And since it still happens on Carl's recent videos on X so I don't think that shit's been fixed.
>>106565227Oh it's just a Wayland™ moment, go figure.
>>106559127>Looks no different to me than gnome.that's because it IS gnome, just rewritten in rust
They should have just went KDE but in reality they don't have anything to offer anymore other than this when it comes to normie friendly distros
>They should have just went *KRASHES*
>>106559127it's visually gnome-alike, without javascript but full rust, with more customization ootb and custom cross-platform rust based toolkit. it will also become more efficient with resource management than gnome and kde, once it will hit its first stable version.
>>106566075I think using Rust instead of JavaScript was a good decision. As much as I love GNOME, I don't think JavaScript should be used for something like a desktop environment.
>>106559127profit, somehow. why else would a company expend money on this? they expect to make money from it.
>>106565044Nobody cares other than frontend trannies.
>>106559127Its basically Gnome but the devs actually welcome feedback.
>>106565463No it is not you retard.If you rewrite it, with a ton of extra features, it becomes something else.With your logic, cinnamon is gnome too.
>>106559127A GNOME alternative because System 76 got into a fight with GNOME developers thanks to Linus Sebastian.It's not bad but it's better than GNOME yet. However, System76 is risking a lot by letting its current images stale so much with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and its Ubuntu 24.06 images being on fucking beta still, with Ubuntu 26.04 becoming closer. I do hope they skip 24.04 and release their own STABLE image with whatever state COSMIC is in a couple of months after Ubuntu 26.04 release.>>106562220It's not even out of Alpha.
>>106566464>users don't care about visual consistency>it's all da webdev trannies!!
>>106559127I think it's cool that it's a DE built from the ground-up with a tiling WM workflow. Generally, your options in that space are either gluing together your own environment with a standalone tiling WM, or using a tiling extension in a preexisting DE (which almost universally suck and feel poorly integrated).
>>106566479>With your logic, cinnamon is gnome too.it literally is
>>106566479yes it is you numb digger
>>106566711Forge on GNOME is pretty good, but it's been unmaintained and nobody stepped up to take over so eventually it will break.
>>106566751>>106566762>Cinnamon is Gnome>Android is Linux>Linux is Unix>Macos is Unix>Linux is Macos>Ubuntu is Debian>Mint is Ubuntu>Firefox is Netscape NavigatorIt was developed on top of Gnome 3 and nowadays probably doesn't have a single line of shared code. This is how FOSS works you retards. You have to be a glue sniffing /g/tard to believe you have to start from scratch when developing a new DE.
>>106567079>your mom is a whore
>>106566479>cinnamon is gnome too.It basically is in many ways as it uses a lot of the same dialog as Gnome due to GTK.>Hur dur, Gnome is not GTKOnly in the most strictest sense, they are both developed with one another in mind. They deny this any yet do it publicly. Just like how most of the biggest contributes to Gnome are Redhat employees pretending to be volunteers.
>>106566525>Expecting a beta software to have 100% visual consistencyYes, you are a web tranny.
>>106567079>Cinnamon is Gnomeit is, it's even hard coded to use the same wm and you can't change it or the desktop stops working.>>Ubuntu is Debianthis is also true, it's a bloated and worse version of debian.Why are you acting like they don't have shared code lmao, cinnamon definitely does.>You have to be a glue sniffing /g/tard to believe you have to start from scratch when developing a new DE.if it's a fork then it's not "new", sorry nigga. By your logic the millionth ubuntu fork is a new distro too.There's very few forks that actually go on to become unique projects much different from the main one.
>>106567101>immediate goalpost moving/g/ is great and very predictable. Anyways I'll let you know when stable comes out and it remains the same because this was already stated to be intentional by their design team.
>>106566470>the devs actually welcome feedbackKEKmmstick says hi
>>106567079>>106567377>Android is Linuxalso I forgot to respond to this but it literally is, it's using the linux kernel. Sony made a driver for their controller or some shit on android and the same thing works 1:1 on linux and was ported there too.
>>106559127Looks alright from what I've seen. If it's in a good state when the beta comes out I might check it out.
>>106565479>KDEIf you want KrashDE go use Kubuntu or some garbage.
>>106566889Unfortunately, that always seems to be the case with tiling extensions for DEs--they die in pretty short order.
>>106559127>What's the point of this thing again?not having to deal with the insufferable gnome fucktards anymore. they tried to fix every gnome shitness because they ahve a business to run, to no avail alas...I'm sad they didn't just use kde instead, these are good people and work with anyone willing to send ressources their way because they're actual adult and care about users.>Looks no different to me than gnome.that's the point, gnome is more or less the default de even if it's absolute dogshit so that's how you smooth the transition

is is usable yet? I remember their graphics tablet support was awful
>>106567101>>Expecting a beta software to have 100% visual consistencywhat the hell are you talking about.
>>106570230i use it with a pen display, works well. very low latency. had to direct the pen input to the right display in a config file.
Ok post nice COSMIC desktops
