Love this. It reminds me of the manga BLAME! which is one of my favorite mangas of all time.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanual

Quoting: GuestProbably similar. I just like how most everything is in the overview and the defaults are mostly sane to my use. I've played with Awesome and other WMs but ultimately I'm too lazy to get them where I want them.

I feel the same way, but assuming COSMIC gets all of the functionality I use in GNOME, it seems like a great alternative to switch to. Very batteries-included. I spent days setting up Sway and in the end I went back to GNOME because it has more features I need and I don't need to work for them.

COSMIC is not (yet) as pretty as GNOME, but much better for multi-monitor setups and general productivity. GNOME is shocking when you have multiple monitors. Even KDE handles it better, and it's still not great.

Quoting: Leahi84I REALLY don't like gnome. It looks too much like something Apple would make.

GNOME takes the good decisions from macOS and cuts out the bad ones.

- You can edit the file path in Nautilus, you can't in Finder
- Window buttons in the top right, not the top left, but you can choose!
- Has real, reliable window tiling! The basic stuff is enough for 90% of people. (macOS finally got basic buggy tiling after 41 years this week)
- Combines Mission Control, Launchpad, and Spotlight into a single key and manages to make it less confusing.
- Has a keyboard shortcut you can map for moving windows to specific workspaces.
- Let's you choose between App tabbing and Window tabbing. You can have both if you want! macOS only lets you page through your open Apps when you hit Command+Tab, and you need to hit Command+~ to page through open windows of the _current_ application, not all windows.
- GNOME has a real Maximise button that doesn't break the usefulness of workspaces. Need I say more?
- GNOME actually hides the dock completely unless you access the Activity Overview so you don't accidentally hover over it. Much improvement for productivity.
- With GNOME 47, Nautilus supports 1-click open when you're uploading files to Firefox for example! Ah, efficiency, finally. Finder only supports double-click open all the time :(
- Nautilus also supports adding bookmarks for SSH virtual filesystem shortcuts. Super handy for locally streaming from one computer to another. If you haven't gotten it already, my point is that Finder sucks. It's awful, horrible, no-good software. I used to be able to say "at least it has tabs!" but now Windows File Explorer has tabs so that's not an advantage anymore.
- The UI is prettier and easier to understand than macOS, without nearly as many hidden options. Did you know Finder doesn't even have a context menu option for "Moving" a file? That's right, you need to copy the file, and move it by hitting Command+Ctrl+V! Or how about the Display settings where you need to hold down a key on your keyboard to expose hidden options?! macOS is full of hidden options like this that are just bad design. GNOME hides some stuff, like extra keyboard shortcuts for workspaces (arrgh!), but the list is much smaller.
- The Info menu in Finder sucks. It's a jumbled mess of far too much text and too small! The Properties menu is very legible in Nautilus. Once again, Finder sucks.

Yeah, GNOME doesn't have a system tray, and that sucks, but I love everything else about it. And I also love Nautilus, which got much love and attention in GNOME 47. Definitely my favourite part of this update next to accent colours and XWayland native scaling.

I also like KDE and COSMIC. I'm not picky :)

Well, I'm glad you like it! I'll stick with KDE. To each their own.

Quoting: CGullIf Proton is there forever and Valve does nothing to shift publisher behavior then we are all just waiting for Proton and Steam Deck support to inevitably die due to the failure of Valve's subsidy. Then the carriage which brought Steam Deck users to the dance will turn back into a pumpkin and the entire Linux gaming market, now hollowed out by the exodus to Proton, will disappear as the entire Steam audience switches to Windows on some small device suspiciously shaped like a Steam Deck.

This feels a bit too pessimistic don't you think? I don't think it will ever come to that. Just seriously doubt it.

This is so ridiculous. I hope they can beat Nintendo in court. Nintendo is a freaking bully and hates their customers. Long history of hostile action over even things like fanart. I've refused to give this company money.

Can't say I've heard of ANY of these games, so for me its no big loss as most of them sound like shovelware. I've already got one of my favorite game's ever, Lucas Art's Afterlife from there, so I don't need any other games from them. Though Bethesda's Delta V, Terminator Future Shock/SkyNET, and Terminator 2029 would be nice.

Quoting: Pengling

Quoting: XvR103This... looks bad. Literally nothing good happens when crypto is involved, I thought we already learned this lesson. From what I'm seeing on reddit there has already been people during the past couple of months warning about signs of something very fishy going on with this project. Many question asked and just "trust me bro" as the answer for everything. WTF is the Lutris dev doing here? Does he really need the money so badly? Seeing this I worry about the future of Lutris even more now. And I see Square-Enix is involved... the same Square-Enix that sold Tomb Raider and Deus Ex to invest in crypto...

Earlier reports on the project have revealed plenty of eyebrow-raising things, too - for example, claiming that Fortnite and Roblox wouldn't have to worry about their anti-cheat being hacked because Fedora Silverblue is immutable, whilst simultaneously claiming that there'd be an AI assistant from Perplexity that will play your games for you if you get stuck (rather incompatible with anti-cheat, methinks), along with the first announced handheld using it being strangely focussed on "Web 3.0"/"blockchain" stuff and talking about the OS as if that's what it's for. And there were some shenanigans with a video sent to the press using content that wasn't theirs, too.

Too many red flags, for me.

This worries me too. I don't want to be skeptical, but I can't help it with this. I hope I'm wrong and that this stuff like crypto and ai ends up falling to the wayside as the project develops, but I just have a really bad feeling that this could end up being a bad thing for the Linux gaming community.

And if/when this falls apart will these devs be willing to pick up the separate pieces and continue on like before or will they quit because they were used to getting paid?

I initially got excited when I first was reading it, but that feeling quickly diminished. This feels suspect for sure.

Watched a video about this a few months ago. Felt totally inspired by the world in the manga BLAME. Looking forward to it.

Hate all you want. I believe it's going to do REALLY well. There's TONS of hype for this right now with everyone I know and the BioWare/dragon age communities.
