I’m hoping to start. Although I still don’t really post, I comment way more on Lemmy/Mastodon than when I used Reddit, because I want the platforms to grow.

Its still in alpha, and is feature incomplete, but I am already blown away by the performance and ease of use. I figured there’s no better way to help the process along than build some apps for it!

Trying to build a Pomodoro timer applet in libcosmic.

So far, I’m really impressed with how COSMIC is turning out. Depending on your use case, it might not be ready for daily driving, but it works perfectly for my needs. Its especially impressive as an Alpha, because it freezes up a lot less on me compared to KDE.

I can run Llama3 on my desktop with a 3060, answers are near instant.

Pop!_OS or something like Bazzite would be decent choices.

Maybe a pipe dream, but I would love to see RedoxOS get some traction. A rust based microkernel is a promising concept.

The new COSMIC desktop by System76 and Pop!_OS is very promising. I’ve been running the pre-alpha, and have been very impressed.

Just finished all the Rustlings exercises, moving on to some simple GUI exercises with libcosmic!
