KDE for the Linux desktop
GNOME for Linux phones
Xfce for the BSDs
simple as

and no need for any of those new desktops (definition: first release was in this millennium)

So will there be just a 5-month gap between 24.04 and 26.04?

With how long the beta was delayed, it's only fair.
They still have 69 issues open as blocks for the RC and they can't delay them like they did for the beta.

It's still ugly and uses more resources than Gnome. Why did they even bother? I thought Rust was supposed to not have memory leaks?

as much as I like COSMIC and think it's promising, there's no way in hell it has a smooth launch if it comes out in december, way too many apps randomly breaking and jank behavior. they probably saw the hype dying down and felt pressured to release faster.

No, it was supposed to be memory safe, preventing Buffer overflows has nothing to do with programs using too much ram.

COSMIC does not use GTK. All applets and applications alike are using the same GUI toolkit: libcosmic.

>>107133280
GNOME uses nearly twice as much memory on my system as COSMIC.

There were no buffer overflows. There was one bug where the font system cached all fonts on the system.
There was another with GNU libc malloc over-allocating sbrk buffers due to a bug in libc malloc with its default parameters (which other projects like GNOME and GIMP are working around by tweaking malloc at startup).
There was also a bug in cosmic-comp that wasn't dropping old OpenGL buffers. And today there doesn't seem to be any issues with over-allocation of memory.

You're beta testing cosmic right now, anon? If yes, what's your take on it? What would you consider to be interesting or even special about it?
