Beta, where are you?

they need to hire some graphic designers that shit looks terrible. too many colors that suck

their terminal looks like shit, too much going on in the top bar, meanwhile GNOME Console looks great

not counting the wallpaper there are two leading accents that have been a signature of system76 since their beginning and some overly saturated fluff on the fonts that can be solved with an icon like papyrus

this I agree with, fuck csd, kill all gnomies!

Is the postmortem on Cosmic going to vindicate /pol/ or are they going to cover it up and make excuses?

What the fuck were they thinking?

system76 shilling here? lol


btw worst laptop ive ever owned despite the price, and some of the gayest customer support.

popOS is the unironic version of linux for n(janny redacted)

>>106572420 (OP)
wow, that looks like complete shit! if you're gonna make the toolbar corners rounded atleast add enough padding between the icons and the rounded corner. this is why you don't use desktop environments and just configure your own standalone wm. once you do it once you never have to think of it again, meanwhile niggas like ebassi are out there just raping every desktop environment. well done!

>>106573874
I do. Wish Liquid Glass had caught on.

>>106572420 (OP)
I’ll be on Windows 11 getting something done.

>>106573874
I don't really, but COSMIC is some of the blandest shit I've ever seen in a modern UI.

>>106576072
I do think this could work. Just the colours and UI elements clashing ruins it.

its against the rules. janny is going tgo flip

Beta will be ready when HL3 comes out.

>>106578805
You can disable it entirely, you know.

>>106574841
Seriously though, how the fuck has that not been fixed yet? Or is OPs SS that old?
It looks egregious, literally anyone who ever sees that shit would notice it immediately. I was making better rices when I was 12.

>>106578872
Half Life 3 will come out this month?

>>106574841
>just configure your own standalone wm
No, thanks. I want a panel and widgets that are actually useful and more advanced than simple icon buttons.

>>106578953
It was brought up on reddit, I think? mmstick just said they had a designer and that they knew best, it's intentional. I'm paraphrasing but definitely not far off.
>has that not been fixed yet? Or is OPs SS that old?
It's still in the beta screenshots, so no. Again, it's apparently intentional for some reason.

>>106578991
>had a designer and that they knew best, it's intentional
Shit like that only flies when you have enough prior rep, like when Apple does something stupid but you at least give it the benefit of the doubt because they've done really impressive things before and maybe you're just interpreting it wrong. A new company doing something so egregious in their first showing just makes them look stupid and out of touch.

>>106578991
>mmstick just said they had a designer and that they knew best, it's intentional.
If most people everywhere on the internet think it sucks, then the designer is wrong. Idk what he's smoking.

>>106578879
or it could be disabled by default
are you retarded? i want my computer to be efficient, not spend 2 days going through settings because the devs have never talked to a human

Better than not organizing them correctly and breaking consistency with their other apps.

>>106573829
>>106574394
the beta isn't the distro, it's the desktop environment.

>>106580718
And also the 24.04 release of the distro.

>xhe thinks i use gnome

>>106580929
Adding the menu items on the header bar was a good choice, though.
VSCode also does that and it's good.

I'm using it now and while there are some bugs I really like it. Looking forward to wiping my windows partition in October and going full Linux. Sorry Apex Legends, not playing you anymore.

>>106581705
Can you alt-tab out of games? I couldn't when I used it 3 months ago. I had to swipe down to another workstation. Cosmic devs had a talk where they said alt-tab is not productive and it's better searching up what you want to use and switch that way, but that didn't work either for me, like I couldn't do that to get out of the game, I was trapped xd

>>106581726
I will try that and submit a bug report, haven't really played any games yet on COSMIC. Could get around it by starting the game on a second workspace I suppose.

>>106581229
>comparing vscode to a fucking terminal

>>106581759
If they fix the gaming problems, it will genuinely be the best distro ever I think. It's also reassuring that they make PCs and laptops to "normal" users because that means they want the DE to be easy to use

>>106579252
I know this is bait, but it's literally a toggle. If it takes you two days to find it you might actually be the retard here.

>>106579999
>POOP
KEK

>>106581786
I don't see the problem in this case.

>>106579999
checked

>>106572420 (OP)
I wonder if there's even gonna be any point to using it after it comes out of beta considering how easy several distros are now. Maybe if you want a stable distro with COSMIC and not have to wait another year?

>>106572420 (OP)
usecase for cosmic ?

>>106587423
I would use it because I expect it to be very polished for the normal home user, since that's their actual customer base.
I'm not very eager to try community distros or distros maintained by server-focused companies anymore.

>>106587423
You can already use COSMIC with Fedora and other distros, Pop! is just the flagship distro.

>>106587905
That's why I said "stable distro".
