just updated to it in opensuse and it’s pretty solid, but wifi doesn’t work for some reason. it can see the networks but it never connects
Oh they finally fixed the bloody dock. I used it ages ago when it was still oval and those square icons looked terrible on it. This is much better.
Have they given any updates on HDR support? I remember them mentioning years back that they planned it for the final release but I’ve not heard anything since.
I wonder if I will stay on sway after cosmic releases
I desperately want a smithay based hyprland clone… hyprland is just so unbelievably good, shame about the dev.
What makes hyprland so good? It just seems like another WM to me, but maybe I don’t get the interesting parts of it.
The developer is just kind of insane. They reimplemented wlroots from scratch all on their own, a feat that cannot be understated, and the reason they did that is because of how massively they were outpacing wlroots development in terms of features.
just some things:
- a full proper animation stack for eyecandy
- single window capture (sway still doesn’t have this)
- keypress forwarding to specific windows (like xdotool)
- global hotkey support
- insanely good documentation: https://wiki.hyprland.org/
- color management and HDR (sway is just now getting this)
- proper permission management for screencopy (coming in the newest version, first compositor to implement)
- a full plugin system for extra things you want to do
- a proper app not responding dialog
If the feature exists, hyprland has it, almost guaranteed, they are not minimalists, which I appreciate right now while wayland is still getting everything sorted out. It’s also the only compositor i’ve used that mostly works with a certain dumb app i uses clipboard.
And just check out the rate of changes:

vaxry is crazy.
One thing that I love about Cosmic is that it is made in Rust and is licensed under GPL. This is contrast to the replacement of the coreutils with new, Rust made, which are unfortunately licensed under MIT. Ubuntu rushed to adopt them. One more case of foul play by them after making the server side of snap proprietary.
Why do everyone emphasize the fact that it is Rust based? What difference does it make? Personally, I don’t care whether it’s written in Rust, Cobol or Brainfuck. Badly written software would be buggy no matter the language.
Modern language that address a lot of common security vulnerabilities related to RAM and CPU usage leaking?
I am an idiot though somebody should explain this better
These Linux computers are always scams.
We get worse hardware for higher prices, and they don’t even have to pay for the OS.
You can use Cosmic DE on any device that can run Linux. You do NOT need to purchase System76 laptops for that.
