From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It will be possible to configure COSMIC to look like Unity out of the box. There's only a few panel applets that need to be implemented to make the experience 1:1.

I found that it only works in tiling mode, which may be better but normal snapping in windowed mode is pretty normal I think.
Okay thats fair
Clicking on the notification doesnt open the image, there is no recording and it has no editing :D but it works well and way quicker than Spectacle
Added features I like about dolphin. For sure I could install dolphin instead. I would also prefer a places bar where you can click on the parent directories, clicking on the empty space after them activates manual path selection mode. But the filemanager is already pretty nice. In the editor I would miss things like LSP and text snippets, but it seems very nice for its purpose.
That view is nice, but the drag-drop animation is similar to KDE (apps need to already be opened) and they are not minimized during the action, so it looks a bit clunky. Also removing workspaces is kinda buggy.

Disclaimer: using the latest ublue cosmic 40 image, no idea if the RPMs are up to date.

The editor is meant to be a regular text editor. If you want a code editor, there is https://lapce.dev/

It's funny how I find cosmic-editor to be perfect for code too

Nice, I already tried that editor. Thanks!
