RakuOS takes a huge step toward becoming a serious Linux distro

After learning touch typing, one of the best changes I made was swapping Caps Lock and Ctrl.
I barely use Caps Lock, but I use Ctrl all the time. Reaching down to the bottom-left corner for Ctrl is awkward and uncomfortable. Swapping them makes typing so much smoother. I highly recommend it.

On parmak yazmayı öğrendikten sonra yaptığım en verimli değişikliklerden biri, Caps Lock ile Ctrl tuşlarının yerini değiştirmek oldu. Caps Lock'u günde yalnızca birkaç kez kullanırken, Ctrl tuşunu sayısız kez kullanıyorum. Her seferinde parmağımı klavyenin sol alt köşesine götürmek hem zor oluyor hem de sol elin dengesini bozuyor. Bu değişiklik sayesinde klavyeyi çok daha kolay ve akıcı bir şekilde kullanabiliyorum. Herkese tavsiye ederim.

COSMIC Desktop 1.0.12 bringt wichtige Verbesserungen für den Alltag https://fosstopia.de/cosmic-desktop-1-0-12/ #Cosmic #CosmicDesktop #LinuxDesktop #System76

Has anyone made the switch from #KDE Plasma to #COSMIC?

I'm tempted to rebase my #Fedora #Kinoite to #COSMIC Atomic now that COSMIC Files has scripting support: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-files/pull/1728

Things I discovered in a VM that I would be missing out on:
- inhibiting screen blanking
- wallpaper of the day

Things I'd gain:
- automatic tiling
- a simpler, less cluttered desktop

Things I'm concerned about:
- stylus support

Has anyone made the switch and is (un)satisfied with it?

Ich bin an Linux Mint & Fedora gewöhnt. Beides OS, die unauffällig im Hintergrund laufen. Ab & an probiere ich neue Linux-OS auf meinem alten Laptop aus. Heute war es PopOS, weil ich den Cosmic-Desktop hübsch finde. Hübsch ist er, doch obwohl PopOS auf Ubuntu aufbaut, war es ein sehr instabiles Erlebnis mit vielen eingefrorenen Bildschirmen, inkonsistenten Icons & nicht mehr zurück finden zu den ursprünglichen Konfigurationen.

Schwebende Fenster auf dem Desktop sind für mich bisher der Standard gewesen. #CosmicDesktop hat das geändert, jetzt bin ich angefixed und experimentiere mit dem Tiling-Wayland-Compositor #Niri. #linux #linuxdesktop

Tiling vs. Floating: Lohnt sich ein Tiling-Windowmanager? < Rund um Linux

Ob schwebende oder gekachelte Fenster ist eine Frage des Geschmacks. Ich freunde mich gerade mit Tiling-Windows an, etwa in Niri.

Rund um Linux

Tried the #COSMICdesktop in Fedora 44. Nice little desktop and the window tiling being easy to turn on and off is great.

I got slightly confuddled when the terminal window and text editor window merged into a combined group. That was cool, also potential for lots of typing in the wrong app 😄

Text editor stopped responding when trying to exit, it was the last app in the merged window group.

Missing a UI similar to NetworkManager in GNOME for creating an OpenVPN connection was disappointing. Nice to see a Wireguard option.

Overall I think it's shaping up really nicely, still needs more features to make it functional for my work laptop. It's largely stability issues, some additional system settings options.
