System76's COSMIC Desktop Adds New Window-Swapping Mode, Dynamic Settings

nah, its genuinely pretty nice to use so far. screenshot is probably either encoding crappery or just because screenshots are pretty not great right now, Im not sure if cosmic exposes anything else outside of xdg screenshot.

Ksnip is bloody broken, flameshot didn't work, I tried like 4 or 5 apps and finally gave up and use a python script to take screenshot. it's still pretty early in development, but the fact that I have been using cosmic for a week straight already shows it's high degree of competence in the developers, as well as it's potential. can't wait to start making bug reports and feature requests lol

Yes, KSnip is broken for me and a lot of others. But don't complain to the dev, he'll just tell you it works for him and closes the issue.

as a work around, anyone on cosmic can do use this to take a screenshot and copy it to clipboard, from there you can import that into whatever image editor

cat \$(python $HOME/.local/bin/screenshot.py | sed 's/file:\/\/\///g') | wl-copy

I don't use Cosmic, but thanks anyway.

it's still pretty basic, I myself use my pkgbuilds here https://github.com/Quackdoc/pkgbuild...r/cosmic-epoch (PS. if you use these you will need to manually set up the config files) make sure to check the config file for hotkeys you need to use. to launch the application launcher is Super + A

I checked, indeed Super + A is the default value. But there is still a lot to get used to after classic XFCE, it's a pity there is no switch to classic control, because the transition is very slow and I need to work on a PC.

its still very much alpha software, I wouldnt be surprised at all if something will change in the future to make it more classic

Maybe so, but look at major RedHat sponsored projects: GTK, Gnome, Wayland. They're all "my way or the highway" and "you don't need things I don't care about".
I don't know whether that's on purpose (probably not), but it is what it is.

When you try to belittle a clear and elaborated argument by making it look like it's coming from a mentally ill or deranged person (clearly from a lack of personal argumentation ability), I think you have zero value added as a forum poster. His comment should be removed.
