Well, PopOS is a distribution, based on Ubuntu, shipping a desktop. That desktop was formerly a customized GNOME, now they have their completely own desktop environment.
The tiling might be similar between both but their GNOME extension is probably deprecated now.
Cosmic has dynamic tiling, while KDE has many manual tiling features which may be less efficient but require nearly no setup.
This is not about GNOME…
Oversimplification. COSMIC lacks like 95% of what GNOME has that is important for regular users, like the vast extension ecosystem, GSConnect or remote RDP login as simple examples.
Dash really sucks. Use it as an interpreter for /bin/sh and thats it

Linux@lemmy.ml•What would be a good way to get started with libadwaita development?

No joking, have a look at GNOME circle apps in languages you like

Linux@lemmy.ml•Looking for an address book app that cutomizable
1·24 days agoThe only address book I know is thunderbird any maybe the GNOME or KDE suite (their Personal Information Management (PIM) Suite).
Maybe the small desktops have alternatives.
Thunderbird supports CardDAV for syncronizing contacts too. But it is unencrypted so I wouldnt use it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•(Debian) How do i find links for apt repositories?
6·24 days agoCareful with this!
You need to change the repo priorieties to REALLY low, otherwise your system may downgrade packages and stupid shit like that.
Trust me, I extracted PopOS repos from ubuntu noble based PopOS and installed cosmic apps on debian. It worked, until it started messing up my system.
Use nix, it is way cleaner. On Debian I basically use nix for everything because many packages are missing or outdated.

Opensource@programming.dev•Mixapps - turn your music into shareable apps that work offline
1·28 days agoInteresting concept. But this does not allow sharing or backing up, or does it? It still binds to a platform

Linux@lemmy.ml•Freetube flatpak wayland AMD - hardware acceleration anyone?

Opensource@programming.dev•Mixapps - turn your music into shareable apps that work offline
3·29 days agowhat, why not mix audio files and share an actual audio file??
With a cd you gift them a physical media with (shitty but) unrestricted access
Doesnt this just work with caching? Is the media actually stored forever?
There are plenty of music players for local files, so while the idea might fulfill some issue, I dont see the use case.

Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE Plasma 6.6 Beta: New Login Manager, USB Portal and Wayland improvements
18·29 days agoThese are some crazy big things!!
Plasma-login is nice, has some very needed things
Plasma-keyboard is essential for anyone on a convertible or even tablet, as the old maliit keyboard is abandonware
The usb portal will be really useful
Ocr support in spectacle! This exists on proprietary android but not AOSP, and on windows too. Really neat. I hope the integration is nice, this is a really big UI task.
Bro fears normal distros
Is there a list of good GIMP 3 compatible plugins?
Compatible with them? Was that a requirement?

Opensource@programming.dev•Google will now only release Android source code twice a year
3·1 month agoSo security updates are open source? Not like security preview releases that are under embargo?
Well that makes it less problematic. Android apps are independent from the core OS and half of the people is running old versions, so the ecosystem doesnt really depend on the latest and greatest.
Still shit, but less bad.
- Install F-Droid basic from f-droid.org
- Search for “f-droid known repositories” on the web
- Add the izzyondroid repo
- Reload repos
- Search for “money”
- Profit

Opensource@programming.dev•Google will now only release Android source code twice a year
9·1 month agoSo GrapheneOS and any other OS that cares a bit about security need to ship proprietary updates.
And if this is everything of 6 months, this is pretty insane









Yeah right?? This might just be a small correction
