Sur Linux, l’environnement de bureau COSMIC veut se faire une place au soleil

L’environnement de bureau COSMIC gagne en visibilité, au fur et à mesure que sa première version stable approche. Écrit en Rust, il est développé par System76 et n’était au départ qu’un lot de modifications cosmétiques pour la distribution Pop!_OS. Un nouveau venu à considérer ? Nous l’avons pris en main.

"Dance is active meditation.
When we dance, we go beyond thought, beyond mind and beyond our individuality to become one in the divine ecstasy of the union with the cosmic spirit.
This is the essence of the trance dance experience."
— Goa Gil

This is really feeling like the natural successor to Sway for me, let's see how daily driving goes....

Thanks @craftyguy for getting it packed in pmOS :D

Arch-based Garuda Linux has just released a new ISO featuring the COSMIC desktop, adding even more variety to its lineup.

Still have this question open. Why does #COSMIC require #geoclue

https://github.com/fsvm88/cosmic-overlay/issues/8

This needs to be optional IMHO.

Did you know we're essentially all #STARS? That is to say, we’re actually the children of stars!

How does it feel to have stars for parents?

(You can skip to the last paragraph :)

I have released version 1.1 of my "Black Sun" icon theme.
It's available for: Gnome, Cosmic DE, Budgie DE and XFCE.
KDE: is still in the experimental phase, please read the notes regarding it on "Black Sun" github page.

I just sent patches to port #COSMIC to #AlpineLinux[1], so it'll soon[2] be possible to install this promising new DE on a few of the hundreds of ARM and x86 things that #postmarketos supports!

#Introduction

Good (morning|day|evening|night) to everyone across the planet Earth. Today I migrated from #Allthingstech, RIP(not yet, but soon). I mostly post about #Linux and #Programming. Currently I use #archlinux with #cosmic, absolutely love it.
In constant flux between around a billion languages, but most often I use #Rust, #Golang or #JS.

System76's COSMIC Alpha 5 is here with a new media player, VRR improvements and lots of fixes https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/01/system76-cosmic-alpha-5-is-here-with-a-new-media-player-vrr-improvements-and-lots-of-fixes/
