[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago (1 child) What's wrong with Popos? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mko@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 5 months ago (2 children) Cosmic is basically a beta DE right now. Most of Linus’ bad experiences seem to be because of that. It looks promising and I can definitely see it as my daily driver, but in a year or so. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Auth@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 child) It should be labeled as beta but its not. Its version 1.something so there is no warning of instability on the download page. Really massive L from system76. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mko@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 months ago (1 child) Yeah, there’s no winning for them. They obviously underestimated the time needed to write a general purpose DE from scratch and felt they needed to release something. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Auth@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (1 child) I think they were mostly testing it on their own hardware and didnt weigh up how brand damaging it can be for users to download their distro and use it on random hardware and get cooked by random issues. Even linux youtubers run into issues on it. Its getting good fast, if they'd just held it back another year it'd be so good. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mko@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago It took a lot longer than planned to get it into an available beta and I guess too long for comfort to 1.0. They should have released in an ”early adopter” release and kept the older Gnome base as an LTS at least until the shift to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS as a base. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago Fair enough. I used it on a secondary laptop for a while. I agree that it looks promising, their "Spotlight" equivalent is great, much better than KDE's default. permalink fedilink source parent
