I'm a System76 engineer / Pop!_OS maintainer. I've been a Linux user since 2007; and Rust since 2015. I'm currently working on COSMIC-related projects.

  • Asterinas: a rust kernel with a linux ABI

    Jump

  • All source code in Rust is statically-linked when compiled, which thereby renders the LGPL no different from the GPL in practice. For Rust, the MPL-2.0 is a better license because it does not have the linking restriction.

  • Pop!_OS 24.04 and new COSMIC desktop hit alpha • The Register

    Jump

  • Niri is also based on the smithay library we use for COSMIC, so there's some collaborative work between COSMIC and Niri on Smithay.

  • Pop!_OS 24.04 and new COSMIC desktop hit alpha • The Register

    Jump

  • applets live in their own process and communicate via Wayland protocols (behind a COSMIC API)

    Even better. A COSMIC API was not necessary since Wayland protocols already exist for this (layer-shell and security-context).

  • Pop!_OS 24.04 and new COSMIC desktop hit alpha • The Register

    Jump

  • Will there be 24.04 with gnome Cosmic ??

    Jump

  • No, we won't be spending any development time on porting all of the patches in 22.04 to 24.04. GNOME is done.

  • Hyprland's Developer Is Not A Fan Of COSMIC Desktop

    Jump

  • You should stop using Linux then. The Linux kernel, along with many open source software, is developed and sponsored by for-profit organizations. Either directly or indirectly. Without them, open source wouldn't be able to thrive.

  • Rust for Linux revisited (by Drew DeVault)

    Jump

  • I'd recommend spending some time reading about it. It's not as hard as he thinks. Applications developed for Linux are quite easy to port to Redox. It supports many of the same system calls and has a compatible libc implementation. The kernel does have abstractions to ease the porting process. And if you're going to make a new kernel today, you should do it right and make a microkernel like Redox. One of the benefits of having a microkernel is that it doesn't matter what language you write drivers in. They're isolated to their own processes. Rust, C, C++, whatever.

  • Rust for Linux revisited (by Drew DeVault)

    Jump

  • It does work like this, but as with justice, the wheels can be slow at times.

  • COSMIC Alpha Released! Here’s what people are saying.

    Jump

  • It is required to install system updates before using the alpha.

  • Because I haven't seen it posted here yet, the new COSMIC theming looks amazing!

    Jump

  • They'll be available after COSMIC releases.

  • My libcosmic calculator is now an MVP.

    Jump

  • You can either return cosmic::Element<Message>, impl Into<cosmic::Element<Message>>, or cosmic::widget::Button<Message> with your functions.

    Every widget can .into() or .apply(Element::from) into a cosmic::Element.

    I'd recommend using the Grid widget so that your buttons can scale with the window.

     rust
        
cosmic::widget::grid()
    .push(widget1())
    .push(widget2())
    .push(widget3())
    .insert_row()
    .push(widget4())
    .push(widget5())
    .push(widget6())
    .row_spacing(12)
    .column_spacing(12)
    .justify_content(JustifyContent::Stretch)
    .width(Length::Fill)
    .height(Length::Fill)
    .into()

  • [ META ] What is the community's opinion of Pop!_OS?

    Jump

  • What report are you referring to?

  • A Blog to Satisfy Your Monthly COSMIC Fix(es)

    Jump

  • The design is finished for Alpha 1, but there is likely to be future design work once designs are revisited for alpha 2 or the beta.

  • [ META ] What is the community's opinion of Pop!_OS?

    Jump

  • What GPU configuration do you have? I don't have any of these issues. If NVIDIA, you have to wait for NVIDIA to release explicit sync Wayland drivers.

  • A Blog to Satisfy Your Monthly COSMIC Fix(es)

    Jump

  • That's up to you. If you need it, you can always reinstall it.

  • A Blog to Satisfy Your Monthly COSMIC Fix(es)

    Jump

  • I'd recommend everyone to try out cosmic-store (with cosmic-icons) when they get a chance. Whether you use COSMIC or not, it's fully functional with any desktop environment. It's packaged by default in Pop!_OS 22.04, available in Fedora 40 via ryanabx/cosmic-epoch, and the AUR.

    COSMIC Project Collection

    Jump

  • This is a list of community-developed projects.

  • COSMUnity

    Jump
    1. Desktop and Panel > Dock > Position on screen > Left
    2. Dock > Configure dock applets. > Drag Cosmic Dock App List to Start Segment
    3. Dock > Extend dock to screen edges

    If the dock takes dominance of the left side, move it back to the bottom to give the panel dominance, and then move the dock back to the left.
