17:45 – The Cosmic apps will not work because they require Wayland. I tested these after recording the video on experimental Wayland and they work perfectly (both the Cosmic Files and Cosmic Software Center).
Also, Flatpak IS installed, but not configured for Cosmic Software, so all the packages are coming from the arch repo.
I'm hoping Cosmic will be the default DE I recommend to everyone. Unfortunately never felt that way about Plasma or Gnome.
Im a not an Arch Fan but Cosmic is a Freakin Good DE like deepin…
Perhaps Wayland needs to go A Way π
I tried this on an existing Arch VM (virt-manager/QEMU), and the DE would not start; it appeared to be crashing the X11 server.
SO, I did a clean install of arch using the archinstall script with the –advanced option, and guess what, the Cosmic desktop was one of the options for desktop environment.
It still would not work, but switching the VMs video option from Virtio to QXL addressed that issue.
Thanks for the video.
I would remove the dock and make the top panel look like Dash to panel. Cosmic looks very interesting. Bad font rendering. Curious how the final will version will be. But if it's going to replace my favorite desktop, Xfce, I don't know yet.
I would recommend paru over yay.
I'm excited for cosmic and have been using it for a long time on arch before alpha because it is the best tiling experience on a full DE I've seen. I don't want the headache of a tiling WM, so this has been perfect for me. The alpha is even better than the prealpha has been.
Considering that this is Alpha, it is quite good.
looks like a gnome clone
are you gonna "wark" us through? or "walk" us through? hahaha
I tried it using the latest Cashey os cd, it had it as one of the desktops to install. Works ok in a Arch linux base os
I like Linux, especially that it's free, however I found that I'm so used to Windows that I use Linux just like I use Windows. I switched back to Windows for one simple reason: I couldn't play games quite as easily on Linux. There were a lot of games I could play, to be sure, but certain ones I couldn't. The last Linux distro I used was Pop! OS with KDE as my desktop. I really liked it, it's just too bad that I get a better experience on Windows for how I prefer to use my computer. I'll always think Linux is great, but until I can game the way I want to on it, I'm stuck with Windows.
Hyprland is perfect, but if I need a floating WM it's Budgie for me. Cosmic seems promising though.
I installed it with pacman in my pc and it is working fine. of course some features are missing but no errors or those glitches you had. Workspaces are working too
Meh, I don't get the hype just looks like we're going to forget about it in about a week or two, y'know one of those "Out of all the Desktop Environments, this sure is one of them."
Is it worth it? Because if not ill stick with good old XFCE. Thanks
