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.

How are you running COSMIC? I'm on Fedora.
I am on Pop!_OS, I ran
sudo apt install cosmic*.Don't worry, you're not missing out on much, running video games, or any OpenGL thing including 2D games and GPU-accelerated terminal emulators is a bad experience, and alt+f4 isn't implemented, and f11 to fullscreen is janky, and theming for buttons and such is clearly alpha.
The promise of an Arabic-supporting, Rust based, GPU-accelerated terminal is too attractive, however, as I was teared between multilingual terminal, Wezterm, Alacritty and Kitty for a while.
The first is horrible at everything but supporting languages, the second is really janky, the third doesn't support tabs, the fourth has bad theming and customization.
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.
Inaccurate report,
I just ran Neovim in terminal and was used to Neovide, so I thought it was choppy.
Intel HD 630.
There is, however, a 2D game - which I am not going to disclose the name of - that's pretty broken. (It uses Adobe Flash as an engine)
Also the steam client doesn't maximize properly with tiling but I am sure that's reported.
I have been daily driving Cosmic for a week now; it caused me Arch-syndrome, everyday I run
sudo apt updatehoping to get some polish to the desktop.Edit: there's more...
Neovide's transparency is completely broken, and shows a blank, though not a pitch black, color and screenshotting it results in seeing the text with a checkered background. (In the resulting screenshot only) (Running on Proton 8.0-5)
clipboard=unnamed plus, the setting supposed to unify Neovim's clipboard and system's, doesn't work.clipboard: error : Error: target STRING not availableI also was unable to transfer a file to my phone using Cosmic Files, but Nemo worked, though I read that's fixed in some Blog.
Edit II: I just discovered
popdev:masterit seems to be a general unstable branch instead of just Cosmic things, but I took the risk and added it, I just have to remember to remove it once 24.04's releasedWhat report are you referring to?
The thing you replied to; I don't open social media often enough to reply on time, so I sent you a late reply.
