The cool thing about Cosmic is the team is building it for power users who sit in the middle of wanting customization and wanting it to just work so they can get shit done. Has a lot of potential.

Cosmic being this relatively smooth on *Arch* is a very good sign.

System76 is doing a great job at making Linux more accessible to non-Linux users. Love them!

Ol' Titus done goofed when he skipped the ML4W dotfiles. You can choose if you want to change your neovim config during install.

Absolutely my favourite config of hyprland. Haven't touched anything else since I tried it.

I actually daily drive a modified version of the Hyde (prasanthrangan) dots and it does take some time to get used to, but once you do and you get familiar with keybinds and their scripts for wallpaper, etc., it works very well. Completely replaced regular DEs for me. I tried using hprlock over swaylock but it has issues, and sometimes just doesn't wanna unlock, so you have to reboot.

end-4's dotfiles were also on my radar but I liked Hyde better. People come up with such amazing rices!

[Kermitk]

Titus: Let me butcher these installation scripts I don't fully understand, before even giving it a try in a clean environment. Also Titus: How can this not work? Something so simple as the wallpaper. That's why i use DWM and xorg!

[Drazil]

I have been using cosmic since the pop 24.04 alpha dropped and I have been obsessed with it. As a Cinnamon user I never really liked tiling until Cosmic due to how much work they are to set up. Having Cosmic come reconfigured out of the box has made me love tiling.

There are definitely a lot of bugs still left and features that are just straight up missing from some apps. For the most part though I think I am committed to cosmic going forward.

re: VM Hyprland works great in a Proxmox VM. Also you can disable animations. 0.42+ builds seem to work even better in VMs also.

"Going to wait for Cosmic to cook some more"
Hey lets try Cosmic! ;)

[zeocamo]

you need the xhost and xwayland for the blizzard to work, as chat told you that is true for any wayland.

[jason.r]

These are entertaining to watch because I experienced the same things. I just had more time to figure them out.

[adjusted-bunny]

Titus, I must warn you: You have a deadly enemy on YT. It is this guy: Dark1 Linux, Tech, Gaming. Be cautious because he looks dangerous.

[Sargent-]

YES! Hyprland Does Work in a VM, I have it running in one using QEMU no GPU pass-through, It does not like Hyprland out of the box but once I added Hyprdot to it, it works fine, not perfect but works well enough to try it out.

[zeocamo]

the nwg suite of tools is great with hyprland nwg-bar is a good bar

[RealWolfOfficial]

I know vaxerary personally because I met him on an Anarchy server in Minecraft.

[andrejjezik]

Great vid.

Vaxry reaction on Vaxry switching to hyprland ? :D

[Nonsense_thepodcast]

Would love for you to try windhawk mods on Windows and see how far you could push them. Trying to make windows as close to your dwm setup as possible.

[mcash]

the amount of time that system 76 has spent developing Cosmic you would think that the out of the box experience would at least look better than the gnome pop desktop

[glensumner]

I have hyprland running in vm (qemu) I a have my gpu active the GL in VM manager all good ( I used the ml4wdot) looking good..
