thank you, that’s alright if it is on the issue board. I was wondering if the Cosmic Team was aware of it and planning to add it in the future… Look like it is in good hands

I understand cosmic-comp is unique. My question is: on current pop os, I don’t need to enable 3d acceleration, so in the upcoming pop os (with cosmic-comp), will it work the same way…?

I want to avoid using 3d acceleration, because whenever I enable it, my system will get hot and fan will spin regardless of workload

@savvynik are you running it on actual hardware or virtual machine?

but I don’t have to do that for current Pop release… (22.04)

why is it pinging the github server every minute??

yes, but is there a way I can use it on vm wihtout gpu acceleration, basically only virtio on qemu

I run it as live usb, looking good. ANy plan to allow us to run on vm? I don’t have a spare laptop I can use for testing…thank you

that is a good point… I obviously missed that. my generally would only use flatpak from the same developer of the app, or I will just use the deb packaged by my distro.

actually there is difference in version between the two. deb by my distro is in 4.0.0 (mar, 2022) while flatpak is 5.0.0 (nov, 2024)

i am not sure which one is the native version… you mean the version packaged by the distro (deb) or the developer (flatpak)?

Can we have virtio support please?

That is Miku theme

thanks, T increases the timeout and Shift+T to decrease… solved

agree, QXL is slower as compared to virtio in my testings

are you guys skipping 6.8.2 due to the regression?

please don’t skip the nice 6.9 kernel though

cosmic

we will see about the 6.8.2

are these official apps?

@mmstick and @ahoneybun are one of the contributors on https://github.com/edfloreshz/cosmic-tasks

good idea

sudo apt-manage add popdev:master

I bet in my brief testing, it’s about 70% usable.

Some features are not yet completed:

• cosmic-file, I can’t use copy/paste, open in terminal, mount any external devices.
• can’t resize any of the cosmic apps, no tiling,
• setting has todo everywhere,
• can’t see the workspace preview.

.

Some are fully usable in my use-case:

• cosmic-snapshot.
• cosmic-term.
• set background and accent colour
• pin apps to dock

.

Didn’t test:

• audio

.

But, please note that I’m running it on a vm, so the exact issues might not exist on bare metal (if anyone can chime in)… In any case, the legacy apps, ex Settings, Files, Terminal still exist.

So my procedue is to set all cosmic apps as default, and if I encounter issues, I’ll just use the legacy apps for that particular tasks, and when I’m done, I go back to cosmic apps for daily use.
