I love the full overview as well. On every Pop installation I restore it to super key only. The Launcher then goes to it’s original keys of super + /. You end up with the full activity view with the exception of the Gnome search bar. And we’re talking about the COSMIC extension on Gnome right now, but the COSMIC desktop environment will be much more configurable from what I’ve been led to believe.
I get that, but like the things I mentioned, most porn/comics/TV is boring, predictable, generic crap and a waste of time and brain cells. So, I don’t understand why most porn/comics/TV is popular either. Absolute garbage! I can think of a thousand things I’d rather be doing than sifting through all that generic crap.
Yes, it’s good enough to do many normal things with. And like you said, if you get stuck you can log out and into another DE. Logging out can be done from the top panel menu, the Launcher or using loginctl
from a TTY if necessary.
I’ve never wanted to “rice” my Pop!_OS, but I think I’ve been disappointed that Gnome couldn’t add some simple changes like the following from COSMIC without installing third party software.
Beyond changing from Dark to Light mode and choosing an accent color you can change the application background, interface text palette tint and neutral palette tint. You’ll also be able to choose one of the three styles for the corner radii used throughout the interface and set an interface density.
Finally! Notifications can happen where you want, and they’re not connected to the calendar. This is a massive win for me. Gnome’s is really annoying being top center and dropping down into your work. I’ve always turned off 95% of notifications. If I can have them bottom left or right I will love that.
The notifications applet has been integrated into COSMIC DE! Unlike in Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, notifications exist in their own applet, separate from your calendar.
In the browser? Has that been introduced?
YES! A hide sports button sounds amazing. Including car sports of course.
And a hide Hentai/Manga/Anime button. I don’t understand its popularity.
A hide Games/Gaming/Gamer button including PS1-7, Xbox, Playstation etc…
Definitely a hide Furry/yiff/fetish button.
A boobs/celeb/shoes button
A religion button.
People can look at whatever they like, but it would be amazing of my block list could be reduced from a thousand to a couple. The brilliant thing about federated instances is also one of the most annoying. If you block something on lemmy.world you likely have the same community on lemmy.ml or many of the other instances. Blocking the exact thing five times is tedious.
Here’s an update from System76 about theming. https://blog.system76.com/post/customizing-cosmic-theming-and-applications.
I don’t care about Karma. And the link from here has three other links with which you can vote and pay tribute. My only motivation and concern with this post was to bring awareness of this event to the Pop community specifically. Your request for instance-correctness and minutia of post obligations in this situation seems a little off putting, but whatever. My whole point being: Bram was a genuine decent human.
OK, point taken/learned, but I’m not changing this now.
I don’t think anyone could answer this reliably except a Pop COSMIC dev right now. They’ve been hinting at much better user enabled theming than GNOME, but the repos I thought were part of are archived. I see some development in libcosmic, but I don’t know how to compare their intentions with Plasma. Wait for a DEV.
I noticed in the link to Intel drm that the GT2 version has issues. I’m not sure what the difference is, but I’m having no issues with 12th Gen Intel i7-12700 AlderLake-S GT1. All good here.
Nice! This is handy. Good job.
It’s a decent suggestion. Using multiple windows in a tile stack would be the way I’d do it, but it sounds like that probably won’t be a valid suggestion. I don’t think it’s a such a great feature that I’d comply with DRM based web page tracking and ads for. For clarity, any site with Google’s DRM will need to be seen with Chrome or you won’t be able to use the site, period. You will be 100% tracked and served ads. They will know exactly who you are on any site. They will clutter your pages, tab stacked or otherwise. I don’t believe Google when they say this for your safety and will stop ads. It will give them exclusive power to push ads and companies will pay them a premium to force ads in your pages. This isn’t Google’s engineers who are pushing this. It’s Google corporate making it’s engineers break the web for profit and ad dominance.
Losing the ability to block ads completely or have tab stacking - I know which way I’d go. But hey, you can’t force people to do anything, and unlike Google I wouldn’t, so I’ll just leave it there.

I most certainly am getting there. Trying to avoid corporate enshitification is near impossible in the web space most people know.
I especially like the option to auto move full screen windows to their own workspace
That is a useful option. Some time ago I played with another extension which handled that and I liked the work flow. You could name the app in the Extensions app settings for it, and allocate a workspace number. Too bad it often broke and I got tired of that. If this were an option in COSMIC I’d use it for sure.
OK, glad you got a result. It is odd, but some dependency issues have been observed lately. I don’t know why full-upgrade
didn’t handle that after running that sequence. Here’s a little context;
dist-upgrade
dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade,
also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions
of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and
it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the
expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade
command may remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file
contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package
files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding
the general settings for individual packages.
full-upgrade
full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but may also remove
installed packages if that is required in order to resolve a
package conflict.
The technical answer is that COSMIC is a desktop environment, and like any other desktop environment you can install it on top any Linux distribution that supports it. Meaning it should be technically possible to install on an existing 22.04, or maybe 24.04 Pop!_OS. But here’s the tricky bit, and nothing is concrete yet. COSMIC DE might be getting released on a new Pop-core which will not be what already exists. In that scenario a fresh installation would likely be necessary. So to answer your question - I’m not sure how that will roll out just now.
I will say this. After using and watching Pop!_OS development for five years now, whatever System76 release will be awesome. It simply has to be as they’re a hardware sales company and need a stable, secure and functional OEM operating system.
Yes. You always will be with any corporate streaming service.
