Quoting: CedrickThe "nice" era is over :sad:

Maybe there will be a 6.66 and later a 6.69 Kernel :>

Quoting: ZlopezIt looks like an interesting tool I would like to try, but I'm waiting till the Decky Loader plugin is ready as the Decky Loader is nice tool as well.

Same, currently I use Junk Store for Epic and Gog on Deck. For the GOG support however you need to be a Trier 2 Patreon supporter as of now. Which is fair as these kind of things are a lot of work to get running.

I love that the devs stood with their promise 🥳

As someone who also uses the Steam Deck with Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and a Wacom tablet for Uni to take notes. I secretly have contributed in convincing people to buy one too over the past years (Q1 SteamDeck owner here) and I am proud of this.

I like the Device. While tbh I run openSUSE Aeon on it for Uni because I don't want to get distracted by all the games installed on SteamOS and Gnome is a little more convenient at that screen size to use.

But at home SteamOS gaming all the way. After discovering Junk Store for Decky Loader I also finally got to play all those Free Epic Games I collected just to nag Epic in never actually buying stuff on their platform. 😅

YES! Finally!

I mean I am running nVidia + Wayand close to two years now. But the lack of explicit sync in certain applications made me sometimes switch to X11 just for these apps. While I feel like especially Gnome has long time abandoned X11 all together as the X11 experience is in fact even worse than Wayland without Explicit Sync on nVidia.

Uh nice! Does someone happen to know if it uses proper HW acceleration across GPU vendors and drivers or does it run in software?

Quoting: tohurrust based GUI tool kits are uuugly lmao

I think part of the reason is that Rust is, beside it being popular in terms ppl know about it, is still a niche programming language if it comes down to the actuall usage of it and ppl using it for more serious stuff beside a "Hello World".

What I want to say is, that most rust developers are probably no UI / UX designers and thus if they do UIs it's just to have something that works. Rather than tweaking the UI till the very end of time.

As someone who works in software development and uses rust for also UI apps (GTK4) I must say tweaking UIs is a very daunting task. Also it is often a lost battle. Because what looks and feels nice to one person might feel complete arse for another person. I mean just take a look at r/unixporn or even the distribution of desktop environments used there are so many ways to tweak and customize the way a user interface can look like that it is impossible to make all ppl happy.

Anyhow. I have no issues if someone does not like rust written GUI apps and you are free to not like it. I don't want to convince you otherwise. But ugly UI / UX is not limited to rust.

Quoting: tohurman IMO cosmic looks uuugly af.. no amount of theming gona help it either as it isn't just cosmic but every GUI rust app I have ever seen looks uuugly

You can use any GUI framework with Rust. Be it GTK3, GTK4, Qt5, Qt6 or just the dedicated rust-written UI frameworks.

Also I need to admit Cosmic looks to me very similar to Gnome but with a flatter theme and less round corners. The rest is just different colours.

Thought the open-ended O is an eyeball shown from the top. While the orange dash is the lens because of "Vision" 😅
