#debian #kde on my old laptop was capable and flexible but didn't engage my senses or emotions. Being an #adhd distro-hopper I decided to see what the new @pop_os_official 24.04 was like, with its new #COSMIC desktop. Review videos made it look really good.
Spoiler: it's really, really nice. Little rough around the edges but the UI feels more tactile and real than KDE somehow. It gets me fired up, makes me _want_ to use it. Wish I could use it on my #Mac...
@pop_os_official Ha! Turns out I _can_ use it on my #Mac... kind of. Screenshot shows #pop_os 24.04 running in #vmware fusion on my M1 Air. Not sure if this is a practical proposition but will have a play and see how it performs.
Sadly running it in my #vm is too slow for serious work - but still fun to play with and reinforces my view that #pop_os 24.04 #cosmic will end up being better than both #macos and #kde in terms of aesthetics, flexibility and #usability.
