I'm excited for Cosmic Desktop
I'm excited for Cosmic Desktop
From what I saw Cosmic has a lot of potential and looks pretty sleek too, right now I'm using KDE it's a great desktop, but now that I have a second monitor it randomly crashes on me, I think I'll switch to Cosmic when it reaches beta.
I'm just afraid it's gonna be another 2 years before it's ready for everyday use
2 years is nothing to a Linux user lol
It took me longer than that to figure out how to get out of Vim
If it only 2 year I can wait XD
That's my plan. I'm back on Gnome until feature parity.
2 years is not that much
Not in the long view it wouldn't be that bad but we've seen other projects take so many years. Look how long it's taken Wayland.
I've been using it as my main for months. Even as an Alpha, it's very stable. That being said, it's missing quite a few features that a lot of people would consider a requirement. So "ready" will heavily depend on your requirements
Exactly. I could use it as my daily if the settings panel was more complete.
Yeah I've been running it in one of my little VM specimen jars for a while now and I don't remember it crashing or doing anything weird so far. Pretty good for a first alpha!
Yep. I stupidly thought I could use it on my work laptop. Big nope, I had to go back after 2 hours.
It has great potential, but it's still far from being ready.. 😔
I agree
I'm using it every day now. I have one machine installed with the 24.04 ISO and it's working fine. There's some TODO items to come which I understand will be added by Alpha2. With a little command line knowledge COSMIC is perfectly usable now and is stable.
I'm sure my command line game is weak. Do you have a solution for connecting to Bluetooth and for timing out to login screen and blanking it after a certain period?
Great! Exactly on time for the next release of Debian :)
Hopefully they plan to stabilize what they see as core functionality, and then build out features. Some people won't consider it ready until this or that feature is added, but many of us who just want a WM+ can start using it once it's relatively stable.
I couldn't even connect Bluetooth until I switched to Gnome again
