LinuxFest Northwest is an annual event that takes place every Spring at Bellingham Technical College in Bellingham, WA. For more information, visit: www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/
I am so impressed with the work that's been done. I am not a Linux power user, so the fact that this is designed to work simply is sooo appealing. What other operating system component should they tackle next?
I just love the whole thing, it feels like a hybrid of XFCE and Gnome, where they have picked almost all the good paradigms of XFCE and the only thing of Gnome that is worth anything; AKA it's clean aesthetics. Can't wait to try it.
Yeah. I use GNOME and Xfce as my desktops on various systems, and neither is exactly thrilling, but they're both directionally where I want them to be. If COSMIC manages to pull off a nice stable system that runs well on my hardware, I will probably switch to it on my distro of choice and never look back.
Good talk, would love to see a follow up with the suggestions from the Q&A. This does confirm my bias as well that mainline distributions for gaming are just as good as a gaming(TM) distro.
What was it you don't like about them? I ask out of genuine curiosity because I'm not much of a UX designer myself, but they all seemed useable and cute to me
Great presentation once more. Every time we apply EM we discover things that otherwise would have fallen through the cracks. Also all of a sudden all stakeholders, technical or non technical alike get a deeper understanding on the system we are building.
Help yourself! I would like to make a donation, but I need to create an account? I want to pay but I don't want to create a new account. I realy like POP_OS!
It looks good. Is the panel the same as the dock, just configured differently? I would like to just have a panel with an application switcher, start menu, virtual desktop switcher and notifications.
Yes, the dock is just a second panel. The dock can be disabled. You could have more than two panels, but the settings application is only designed to aid with configuring two panels.
I love system76, I own one of there laptops. SO support your Linux first laptops. But I hate the heavy Linux DEs. I Run Arch on mine. I know your waiting for the BTW. but System76 made it possible to get the right drivers for the hardware. Makes them a great company. thanks for not making me us Cosmic guys. Cosmic is just gross to me. Go Hypr.
Should hire a designer. I saw major design flaws in it, first one is the huge circle in the menu bar, second is the alginment in the screen settings toggle buttons and color picker fields. There are bunch of others as well. Shame, they steal apple ideas and ui layouts, and think they can improve uppon them? Good luck with that, just copy it 100%.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to start a very productive conversation. Thanks to both the software engineers and the SREs for coming out to hear it!
As for stable and unstable, an even better solution is to just use certain packages from unstable while the rest of the system stays on stable. This is possible not just for the kernel but every package.
Haha, I love it when Wes says at the beginning of the presentation they are obsessed with NixOS - I finally get into it a few days ago and I already feel the same 😅
