What's the big hype about COSMIC from System76? Aren't they just re-inventing the wheel by recreating GNOME and splintering the Linux community even further by causing contributors to stop contributing to GNOME and contribute to COSMIC instead? Why do people hype this thing so much?
>>100139221They are doing so by not using the piece of shit GTK( which is developed by Gnome Developers, by the way) So that's a good thing.GTK must die and GNOME devs need to change theit hobbies and become shamans ... oh wait
>>100139221unironically they are making cosmic out of spite
Can GNOME do this?
>>100139363What's wrong with Gnome and GTK though? It's stable, gets the job done... what's so bad about it other than just being something System76 doesn't control?
>>100139221GTK and Gnome are maintained with a level of incompetence and contempt for their users that is indistinguishable from malice.People are hyped about COSMIC because it's 1) written by people who hate Gnome and 2) written in a language that encourages software that's more reliable than KDE. I'm writing a filepicker in the same language and GUI library used to create COSMIC and have been very impressed with how nice it is to work with, and how reliable and fast it is. Assuming the devs actually want to make good software and aren't retarded, it should turn out pretty good.
i'd love to see them kill gnome
>>100139436Yes. In fact, and it's been a long time since I ran gnome, but I'm pretty sure that that is just a video of gnome with an extension.
>>100139396>ebussy seethingWorth it. I hope they kill GNOME too
>>100139221>causing contributors to stop contributing to GNOME and contribute to COSMIC instead?I see that as a net win
>>100139578>I'm pretty sure that that is just a video of gnome with an extensionNope. That's COSMIC with tiling enabled.
>>100139436That's literally just gnome.
The real question is does cosmic have thumbnails or not?
>>100139436Why do DEs keep trying to pander to tiling trannies? They are autists and will never use anything else other than a tiling window manager.
>>100139464gnome devs are assholes and took over gtk development and do not respect "outsiders" wishes. You either comply or go and do your own thing so the System76 devs did. It doesn't help that gtk is a mess to learn because the docs are shit so they gatekeep it that way as well.
>>100139673Sounds like some competition would be good for them
>>100139669there are plenty of normal people using tiling window manager in fact its not the tiling autists which buy those super huge screens and then complain how it sucks.
>>100139396>Being so insufferable that you make a company create their own desktop environment purely because they hate working with you so muchWhy are gnome devs like this anyways?
Correct me if I'm wrong. But weren't gnome devs seething back when this was first announced about how if System76 had a problem with gnome they should contribute to gnome rather then dividing DE's further? I actually tried to find some articles relating to the split in order to find that source. But you know how search engines are these days.
>>100139221Tranny os for children.
>>100139809All computers can be utilized by children fool. Or do you seek to imply that linux, windows and macs do not have children using them?
I just use KDE.
>>100139396it's not spite.pop shell is an extension of gnome shell that they developed because the devs were using i3wm over their own offering. it added tiling and several other features to gnome that, for obvious reasons, were never going to be accepted upstream. but it wasn't just pop shell, it was a host of other fixes system76 spent a lot of time maintaining. That and the general structure of gnome and its extensions is inherently unstable. I can't recall the details, but it was something along the lines of "if one extension crashes, it crashes the whole thing". At a certain point, it was obvious what they needed to do and they have talented devs to deliver.
>>100139824You enjoying the new plasma release?
>>100139854I only have it on a test laptop, it's fine. I'm still on an old version on my regular device.
>>100139669can confirm, i will never stop using i3t. tranny
>>100139221really hoping COSMIC puts an end to the terror brought by the insufferable foot goblins
>>100140064Gnome will always have its supporters, but if cosmic is good enough the gnome userbase will simply start shrinking while cosmics userbase grows.
>>100139751This will make the sixth time (MATE, Cinnamon, Unity, Pantheon and Budgie were the previous cases) somebody makes a new desktop after being fed up with GNOME devs' bullcrap.
>>100140123>This will make the sixth time (MATE, Cinnamon, Unity, Pantheon and Budgie were the previous cases)I wasn't aware of any of those previous cases, what were their reasons for leaving and how did gnome react to their departure? Also, if people keep ditching them why haven't they tried to improve themselves so people stop leaving them?
>>100140141>why haven't they tried to improve themselves so people stop leaving them?ego
>>100140083Good luck making a competing product with far less resources, making a DE isn't something a single person can cook up in an afternoon
>>100140174>making a DE isn't something a single person can cook up in an afternoonYour right, luckily COSMIC has been in production since 2021. So it has had many afternoons to cook.
>>100140141Gnome is a huge project with plenty of different views, when they clash fork spawns, most of those forks are long dead. Cinnamon is basically the only one left standing, and it's on life support tethered to Mint. The only competitor gnome has at this point is kde.
>>100140141MATE, Cinnamon, Unity and Budgie were created because their devs though GNOME 3 was complete garbage.MATE and Cinnamon forked GNOME 2 and 3 respectively and turned them into their own things with more traditional desktop layouts.Unity, Budgie and Pantheon were made from ground while using some of GNOME's components.Unity and Budgie were made, again, because their devs though GNOME 3 was complete garbage.Pantheon was made because the devs thought GNOME's UI guidelines weren't garbage enough.And now COSMIC is being made without using GTK at all and following only some of GNOME's UI guidelines, but this time because their devs think GNOME's devs are complete garbage.
>>100140223>>100140249>most of those forks are long deadOnly Unity can be considered "dead", and it died various years ago. The rest are under active development and are working in Wayland support.
>>100140223>>100140242What caused them to die? Lack of users and contributions? Unfocused direction? Do you think cosmic will suffer the same fate as the rest of the dead offshoots?
>>100140256>working on wayland supportwayland support has been in gnome for 7 years.>>100140249maintaining a DE is a huge amount of work, it's fun for a few months and while the hype is there, but once that dials down all that's left is work work and work.
>>100140263>What caused them to die?They aren't dead.>Unfocused direction?Ironically, the forks have a more focused direction than GNOME nowadays.>Do you think cosmic will suffer the same fate as the rest of the dead offshoots?If anything, COSMIC has the least amount of being abandoned since it's backed by a for-profit corporation instead of being a purely community project.>>100140277>wayland support has been in gnome for 7 years.And it still has many quirks and bugs, like broken DnD support between Files and File Roller.
>>100139221>causing contributors to stop contributing to GNOME and contribute to COSMIC instead? Why do people hype this thing so much?You answered yourself

Never even had the thought to do so for anything GNOME-related. I don't even know these GNOME devs /g/ hates on. They are completely irrelevant to me.And I don't find DE's to be useful anyway. I have no intention to move away from my X11/AwesomeWM setup. Normies would probably be better served by using Openbox with a tray app of their choosing, until Wayland and ecosystem becomes usable (if that ever happens). I just had a specific interest in that specific COSMIC app.
>>100139221It was created because GNOME devs are fags that made breaking changes with GTK4, GNOME 40, and libadwaita. Despite being an open source project, they hate the idea of open ended choices. They would rather force you to follow a certain design philosophy. Maintaining GNOME extensions is already hard as it is as ebussy and crew refuse to make a stable API in favor of bragging about their a11y compliant accesibility and UI guidelines. Both Budgie and System76 tried to reason with GNOME only to be wontfixed hence why both are moving away from GTK in favor of less opinionated GUI toolkits that isn't made by authoritarian control freaks. Pop!_OS's COSMIC will use iced.rs and Rust and Budgie 11 will use Enlightenment's EFL with Rust bindings.

>>100143405Even if you tried to contribute to Gnome, I doubt they would let you. I've never understood how they became so big despite not functioning like a open source community at times. They rarely take opinions or code from outsiders.
>>100139221Gnome devs can always archive Gnome and start helping out with COSMIC.>>100140123All those still rely on GTK and, except for Unity, are all soft Mutter forks.
>>100142168anon it's fucking april
>>100139363sauce
>>100139850>if one extension crashes, it crashes the whole thingThat's probably why they made applets in the new COSMIC be completely independent by living in separate processes. Dealing with extension hell must have been quite traumatic.
>>100142168Thanks
>>100140223>it's on life support tethered to MintI mean, it is a Mint project. Of course it's primarily developed by them.>>100141093Unity is being maintained by a literal Indian child.
>>100140123To be fair, aside from Enlightenment, this is the first attempt that actually breaks away from GTK and the rest of GNOME's ecosystem without using Qt like KDE and LXQT. It uses Rust and iced.rs .
>>100146499Is GNOME even that big among long time users? This is fully anecdotal, but most long timers I interact with are just like me, they don't use a DE at all. Then you come across some devoted KDE developers and users here and there (maybe some still have nostalgia for the KDE 3.5 days when it was actually good). But I struggle to remember anyone who is an actual long time GNOME user!DE discussions have a very low bar for entry, and are popular among passing users and distro hoppers. This may lead to wrong assumptions about the actual relevance of some of the choices on offer.
>>100139480>same language and GUI library used to create COSMICwhich are these, just wondering?
>>100143770So is everyone just going to let gnome die?
>>100147891Iced.
>>100139221>causing contributors to stop contributing to GNOME and contribute to COSMIC insteadI can't see the problem here, but yes, COSMIC is a tad retarded, right now it is literally GNOME without being GNOME.
>>100148184I wish, but there will always be people who think GNOME's retarded UI is good.The people who heavily use extensions to make their experience better might migrate, though.

>>100139221you have to give credits to gnome for the birth of some many DE
>>100139760It was mostly a Twitter fight between System76 and Gnome as well as a few private remarks in chatrooms. A good portion of the tweet are gone since many of them are fragile faggots that deleted their accounts when Elon Musk took over Twitter. Someone out there probably has screenshots.
>>100139760GNOME is open source, closed minded. They are the #1 Wayland DE and one of the actors slowing down Wayland development.
>>100139643>>100139480
>>100149894>slowing down Wayland developmentThey are literally the biggest shills. Wayland is practically designed specifically for Kiosks and Gnome. The only ones slowing down Wayland is Wayland devs who are Gnome tier. If something doesn't fit their philosophy then your use case is invalid.
See my problem with this is not mimicking GNOME is just having it look like absolute dogshit. It was born off the need to use custom themes but fuck, at least set a good example. PopOS always looked fucking ridiculous to me. Even Yaru is more appealing.
>>100150143Agreed. I wish COSMIC looked neater and more professional.
>>100150181Like what? As far as i can tell the default looks like Gnome with dash2dock preinstalled.
>>100150275And gnome looks stupid. I hope it gets plenty of features, built-in theme managers, glass themes, random colour schemes like with pywal.
>>100147386>fucking AprilI'm not.
Have you got the hubris to write a desktop environment to rival GNOME?
>>100142746Why would letting the user control the volume be a bad thing, as a matter of fact how is it even actively harmful to him? Is he just cranking it up to the point where he damages his ears?
>>100150275Windows 95 or Windows 7.
>>100147323>Gnome devs can always archive Gnome and start helping out with COSMICGnome devs are like a cancer and them pouring in to "help" develop COSMIC would only harm COSMIC. There is a reason why so many people split from Gnome. It's because they are insufferable to work with, the only thing they would bring to COSMIC is their own detrimental mindset. Best that they all stick to Gnome instead so they do not poison other DE's.
>>100150623System76 devs can always wontfix and/or lock the threads made by Gnome devs if they can't behave.
I will kek when Rust wins yet again and C trannies get utterly buck broken, again
>>100151003Do the system76 devs have a good track record with that sort of thing?
>>100140174Good thing they have paid devs, then :)
How can I do the opposite of this?

>>100159108regular SATA SSD, Ryzen 3600, 16gb of RAM, RX5700 XT. It's a middle of the road PC. Definitely not slow enough that it should take 3 seconds to launch Nautilus. I also have no external drives or network shares mounted, so it shouldn't be taking this long. I already tried it in multiple distros and multiple versions of Gnome and it always takes about 3 seconds. Even when timing it using '~$ time'.Other file managers such as Thunar, PCManFM and such launch in well under a second, so the issue is definitely Gnome. Even the Windows Explorer launched faster
>>100159320I don't know man. I have a shitty surface go I don't use anymore and gnome opened nautilus in there in less time than that. It uses a slow eMMC as well. Maybe check your shit there.
>>100159343I'm helpless. I have done everything I could in trying to diagnose this, to absolutely no avail. Even changing distros, as I said. Only distro I haven't tried was Arch, so far. I may do a very minimal install with just gnome-desktop on it to see how it fares. I tried checking the verbose logs from nautilus and it always seems to hang for about .3 to .5 of a second when trying to connect to tracker (the file search indexer) and some other 0.2s when connecting to dbus, but disabling tracker made no difference in launch times, so that connot be the issue.It's also not an UI issue, apparently, as when the process is running but there aren't any windows open, if I try to open another one, its nigh on instant.

>>100139436xmonad does this better. In fact, xmonad is the best at this.
>>100150623It lends credence to the theory that GNOME was a plot by Microsoft to sabotage Linux by giving the impression of a decent working DE, but slow on fixes/improvements and to discourage anyone else from making an alternative just by sheer size and by fixing bugs and updates when ever there is competition. The founder of gnome is a former microsoft employee.
>>100139221>Why do people hype this thing so much?It's new, it's written in Rust, it's Wayland first, has dynamic tiling as one of its main features, while being developed by an OEM. There are lots of reasons to be excited about it. System76 intend to make it the default on their distro, which their systems ship with, it's the first thing their customers will interact with. They have a lot riding on it, so they have more of an incentive to make it actually usable, like SteamOS, it has to work well enough to be sold as part of an actual commercial product people will want to buy.

>>100156976I use a couple 4K monitors at my desk and tiling is a godsend. Window placement is automatic, consistent and predictable, I don't even have to think about it, it just works as it should. I can put a given window on a floating layer when the need arises. Having this powerful tiling paired without giving polish and ease of use of a desktop like GNOME or KDE makes Cosmic VERY compelling. It is designed to succeed GNOME as the default on System76 machines, so it needs to be polished enough to be usable by new users, like Plasma is on SteamOS.
