Using a walking pad because I live in the United States and I don't get the passive exercise of walking around everywhere :(

Carl RichellCOSMIC Frosted Glass is getting closer. The effect is subtle by default but can get very glassy if that's your thing. Or turn the effect off all together. Toggles and sliders in Settings fine tune the look to the style you want.
snowI made a thing! Or rather, ported a thing? It's oneko, but usable on a KDE Wayland session. That's basically it!

It's not a 1:1 port of oneko-sakura, but I wanted to replicate the logic and customization where possible.
There are some features I still want to add, and I'm sure there's some bugs (please report them on the repo if you find them!). But if you want oneko chasing your cursor around your desktop and you use KDE, it does that!

Regretfully enjoying Zed
I tried out Zed again a few weeks ago, and unfortunately I’ve been really enjoying it. If you need an introduction on the topic of Zed, I have two blogs about it. To summarize, I really don’t like the Zed CLA, and EULA. So much so that it turned me off from really trying the editor for a long time. I only retried Zed because of a bad VSCode update that started causing crashes out of nowhere on my work computer. I decided I may need to try something new, and Zed 1.0 had recently come out…
Decided to try the XE KMD on my 12th gen intel laptop, and it does seem to (in exactly one benchmark I've tried) be more performant than the i915 driver that's default for 12th gen intel.
Native COSMIC printer setup and dialog were accepted for GSOC! Big thanks to @till for leading the initiative.

Veronica ExplainsI'll take decentralized and janky over simple and evil.
It's possible to build #flatpak applications with #buildstream (for example, see Squey(?): https://gitlab.com/squey/squey/-/blob/main/buildstream/app.yml?ref_type=heads)
I think it'd be cool if someone worked on better UX for using buildstream as a Flatpak manifest format.
Fedora 44 will most likely release with COSMIC 1.0.11. Here's each update for each version (F42 is going to be EOL'd next month, upgrade your Fedora if you care about having the newest COSMIC!)
