@killyourfm I'm really enjoying this mixtape. 
Too bad I don't have my SONY Walkman (cassette player) anymore, that would have made the experience even better.
Cosmic Media Player and COSMIC DE Alpha 6 are also very enjoyable!
Thanks for sharing ^^
So, it was time again to update my Password Manager enabled #COSMICTerm branch for the #COSMICdesktop Alpha 6 release.
So if you use a lot of passwords in your terminal, this might be something for you.

#cosmicde is a very promising DE which have tiling support. It is currently in Alpha , but should reach beta soon if I understand things correct. So even it it isn't fully ready yet, I can recommend to try it out.
Hello, I just made an account on #bluesky but I don't know what to follow :P
Any #linux #cosmic #cosmicde #popos #rust related stuff from your recommendations? Thansk!
btw. you can follow me there: https://bsky.app/profile/hepp3n.bsky.social
even if I'm not huge spammer haha
btw2. To be honest, I'm used to Mastodon more, but it's good to have more sources to read in free time :D
Just added option to import theme from .ron files to Quick Web Apps!
So basically, we can go to https://cosmic-themes.org download desired theme, and use it with Quick Web Apps :)
I decided to try and use #cosmicde for daily work for a bit and see how I get on. The first thing I had to work around was SSH key management but that wasn't too big of an issue. Not sure if I'll stick with using workspaces, though. It's a bit of a hassle to manage so many different ways to switch between applications.
Working my way through creating various kinds of apps. Web: check. CLI: check. TUI: check.
I’d like to create a GUI next, and particularly if there’s something in the Windows/Mac world that’s missing on Linux. Or just fun. Probably with libcosmic and definitely in Rust.
Suggestions?
I have now updated my Password Manager enabled #COSMICTerm branch with the latest changes upstream. (Woho, I can click on links now!)

Hello from #cosmicde ! Let's see how this goes!
Does anyone know how management of secrets is supposed to work on #cosmicde ? I installed it on my Fedora machine which also has GNOME on it so I'm still using GDM and gnome-keyring is installed but either it doesn't unlock on login to COSMIC or something else is fishy. I tried interacting with Github via SSH but that didn't work automatically and I wasn't prompted for a passphrase either. On GNOME that just works.
Ok, back to #Gnome after a two weeks of #COSMICdesktop Alpha 4, and this time my gnome desktop had survived. Nice, to see that they fixed that issue. #Cosmic is making good progress and is now quite usable.
Now, on my hardware and with my setup, it is mostly minor (but still very important) things like Alt-Tab functionality, and similar things that drives me back to gnome.
So, unexpectedly good for Alpha software. Looking forward to trying the next relese of the #cosmicde.
No more broken services on startup now and startup is crazy fast, even from sdcard.
Notifications now make noise and pop up, but still can't get any Cosmic specific apps to launch, even though they did on the Pi400, so I continue to think this is rpi5 GPU firmware specific.
That said, I can still install and launch other things. The Cosmic terminal might not launch, but alacritty does!
I think Fedora 42 is a little optimistic of a timeline, given the current state of the Cosmic DE, I wouldn't mind swapping my travel laptop (which just got a fresh re-install of the KDE spin of Fedora 41*) to a Cosmic DE spin of Fedora 43.

*: I needed to do a fresh reinstall for several reasons, including clearing out some cruft left over from the original F39 install and undoing some oopsies from the past couple of weeks.

One nice thing about the COSMIC desktop environment is that it allows you to easily change the behavior of the caps lock key to be something different. And in my case, since it's seldomly used, I've assigned the caps lock key to act as a second escape key, since I knew that when Vi was made, the keyboard the developer was using had the escape key where the caps lock key usually is today, or so I remember the story being told. Regardless, having a bigger and easier to reach escape key has helped tremendously in getting used to Helix.

Uhh does anyone know why my #Firefox's minimize and maximize buttons disappeared? Any way to debug this? This is extremely disruptive to my workflow so any help is greatly appreciated
I use #opensuse #tumbleweed with #cosmicde from x11 cosmic factory repo, if it helps
this happened after I did a dist upgrade after a while and installed codecs and all using packman
