#COSMIC is not even out of alpha and there's lots of #accessibility features already available!
There's more work to be done, for sure, but this is a very nice to see!
Just trying to compile my way through life. 3D modeling is hard (but I'm a professional potato sculptor). Gaming is life (as long as the lag is minimal). Linux is...well, Linux. It just works. #FOSS #3D #Gaming #Linux

PSA to #rustlang and #linux developers: there is a long-standing bug in the system allocator (glibc malloc) which causes it to hoard large sbrk buffers in arenas. By default, it uses heuristics to dynamically increase the mmap threshold—the point where it switches from using sbrk to mmap. In some scenarios, these larger buffers are never trimmed, causing a memory "leak". Some #libcosmic apps were affected, causing as much as 10-30x memory usage. To fix, see the PR below: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-bg/pull/73
Why is apps like VLC come preinstalled when installing COSMIC DE with this command "@cosmic-desktop-environment" on fedora ?
VLC doesn't even come with all the necessary codec because fedora doesn't support it in official repo. And there is already Cosmic Media Player in development.
There are other app like nheko, rythmbox and ark. Some are qt apps some gtk.I think gtk looks more similar to cosmic apps.
Anyway, You are doing great work ❤️ .
