ericjmoreyIf all goes well, we can release the alpha by the end of March
I hope it all goes well!
The NixOS relationship is pretty awesome.
Looks great. I’m excited for this project.
canadaduaneI just ran cosmic-edit and was shocked at how quickly it loads. Must be ~30ms between selecting it and it’s fully loaded.
zipsglacierThis is looking great!! One line is ambiguous: “From here, we can work towards an eventual 24.04 release over the summer.”
Does this mean work, over the summer, toward an eventual release OR work toward a release that will take place over the summer?! Either way is exciting, but one of those versions is astonishing.
Will it support Wayland and Fractional Scaling??
It is Wayland only, and fractional scaling is already supported by our toolkit since the beginning. There’s little we can do about GTK3 and GTK4 applications though, which do not support fractional scaling.
I notice that cosmic doesn’t yet work with my drawing tablet as in the cursor doesn’t move, are there plans to get that working by the time of the alpha release?
