From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What is the one app you would like made for the COSMIC Desktop? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm currently using the COSMIC DE and been loving it so far. I have some experience in rust, so I want to try and make an app for cosmic (no guarantees).

Any recommendations?

I usually don’t mind using apps made for another DE as long as their UIs are minimal enough for my taste

however, while I was using COSMIC I felt like it really needed a GUI Log Viewer, it’s the kind of thing that sound clearly tailored for the user base COSMIC aims to achieve

GNOME one is nice, but libcosmic apps handle COSMIC tiling better
