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

#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!

@soller Will it automatically start searching, when I start to type without clicking on search icon, like nautilus file manager?
It is very good and power user feature in nautilus
@thelinuxEXP It works great now, using as main OS.
@thelinuxEXP I personally tried it, but ventoy was not supported at that time (still experimental) and encrypted install after reboot go through kernel panic.
Why PikaOS is Not Just Another Gaming Distribution

When we first started developing PikaOS, we faced a common question: "Do we really need another Linux gaming distribution?" Here we answer that very question!

Ever wonder why COSMIC desktop seems way heavier than it should be, it's not the fault of Rust, it's actually the fault of a 2 decade old "bug" in glibc malloc, we're talking in some cases multiple GB more memory than it should be using https://fosstodon.org/@mmstick/113952008189644564

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

@SethStorm666 The problem with this kind of design is, identifying apps takes a time, they all look same (icons). But if they have different icons (like mac or gnome icon set), its easy.
@ryanabx thats great ❤️

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 ❤️ .
