You should have the option which automatically disables hinting when not in tiling mode. When in tiling mode hint, when not automatically no hint. You forgot to cover that you can change the roundness of the corners to rounded, less rounded and square and that you can merge panel and dock to make it look like Dash to panel.
Thanks for the review 😊
I love KDE Plasma, it comes with everything I need. It's a fine DE. But I prefer the GTK over qt. Just because everything looks consistent. Cinnamon, XFCE, GNOME.
I think COSMIC is the bridge between GNOME and KDE Plasma. It uses the iced library and even GTK Apps will look good on it unlike in KDE Plasma, where you can immediately tell: "Oh that App looks like it's for GNOME"
Looks really promising, w8ing for finall release
The dot turning to an oval to signify more than one window is open is a nice touch, but it'd be cool if they would take this one step further. One, two or three dots to signify one, two or three windows; an oval for four or more. That would make an already useful feature just that much more useful, especially for power users while still being easy to read/understand and taking to more space on the screen.
I don't like GNOME but I am seeing enough more advanced features that I could actually imagine giving this desktop a try.
It sucks PopOs is stilling going to use Ubuntu as its base. Sux!
I love Zorin OS, but I may try Cosmic once it's released.
Yet another dark-theme IOS inspired desktop UI for basement dwelling geeks that play video games and watch porn every day. For those of us who use our computers for productivity: no cigar. Give it a year or two and this pie-in-the-sky thingamajigy will end up in everyone's recycle bin.
…more perpetually half finished UI shit for Linux… I just need to launch shit and do work. I don't net 15 desktops because some "devs" think "they" have the best "solution" and NEED to rewrite everything in the next new shiny language because ego. I'll never use Windows again but for ****'s sake.
Do gnome extensions work ?
I like the Cosmic desktop much better than Gnome shell! But…I am more of a Cinnamon guy.
Oh wait, that means you can group windows by task and even move them over to new workspaces, you could make an assembly line and pass programs along and everything. Dude that's crazy
I made this.
It's hard to say just how good of a teacher Jay is. Everything down to pacing in his Linux essentials course is perfect. I can't recommend it enough.
Wow! Jay. Loving the new curtain call for the star of the show.
So why would I ever want to give up XFCE for Cosmic? There are no benefits.
So, what's so exciting about this? Looks like Gnome with some extensions.
If you haven't already figured it out in settings -> Desktop -> Appearance -> style you can change the 'roundness' of the corners on the dock, square looks better than the default, this setting also affects button highlighting such as 'Workspaces' on the Panel.
What's the point of pretty desktops and fancy stuff? It's what you can do and the Apps available to do it. I'd love to use Linux but I'm stuck with Win11 as I have many Apps that I've written in C# to get my work done and it's too daunting to port to Linux. Wine just doesn't cut it.
Thanks for your vids. In your opinion, when is it a good time to have a stab at Arch? And would you suggest having another PC while struggling with Arch?
Cosmic desktop is built on scam money. Do not trust System76
Thank you for your coverage on this, Jay.. it is a good, well-rounded review.
I'm running it now on two of my machines. Some funky buggyness here and there, but overall pretty darn good. I went ahead and took the plunge because I like the new way tiling works and it's almost worth it. Gets better with every update.
Nice review Jay.
I installed it on a test system! I like it, can't wait for the final release.
I loved the original COSMIC, as Pop!_OS was my first distro. I"m so happy the new COSMIC is shaping up so well. Wish them all the best! Might even go back to Pop with the next LTS version.
Thank you for your video 🤩
I've yet to find a better distro than Mint, especially since they released 22.
If anyone who has a visual disability decides to try out the COSMIC desktop environment, please note that there are no accessibility settings, so the only way to test the COSMIC desktop environment is by using a virtual machine and simply use the host's magnifier in order to see what's in the VM. Hope that helps.
Anyone tried this on Nvidia gpu with 120 hz display?
I already can say that I really don't like this dynamic workspaces and window stacking thingy
Everything in cosmic designed to serve a purpose, not arbitrarily to look cool, 18:37 the dock top roundness that you are critiquing about, just maximize any cosmic app and it seamlessly mix in with the dock, giving you more room instead of black spaces on the bottom, out of maximize the dock resizes itself to top rounded..
Whats the onscreen keyboard like? I use this frequently for my mini pc and no distro of linux has one as good as win 11 yet.
I can't wait for it to get to a point where I can run it daily. It has everything I want from a DE, and for an alpha I haven't run into too many issues in short testing periods. Love that tiling is in there by default, has workspace per display and not having workspaces switch on all displays. Looks nice and outside some of the bugs it runs really well. There is an issue with it writing way too much to the drive when changing settings though.
There currently is a bug with fullscreening XWayland apps on Nvidia, otherwise I'd be dailying the Pop alpha.
Everybody else: Icons, theming…
Me: Rust!!!
I love the icon set for this new desktop environment. Nice review, as always Jay!
Very nice!
Really looking forward to this!
Settings/Desktop/Appearance you have many options like style options if you want less round or square etc.
