Somehow I missed this from 27 days ago. I love cheat sheets. Thanks for doing this.

This is great news. A file manager and hybrid editor written in Rust by System76 sounds too good to be true. Add a Rust based simple music player and I'm in heaven.
Looking at the documentation for Pipewire it seems like it's a case of "work it out yourself". Getting this integrated/functional is no small task. Nice job!
Yes, I believe theming and color options are in the pipeline. I was aiming at showing how functional the desktop was already despite being pre-alpha. I love the little stack icons they've added though.
Nice, glad you got it sorted. It's a reasonably common request.
Pop!_OS being an OEM for System76 probably means they will definitely release with a file manager GUI, but I wouldn't care if it had none at all. You should be fine to swap out the default if what you want is a Flatpak though. Alternatives include any terminal TUI like Felix and any Rust apps developed with Iced or Slint, which I would be in favor of.
Both Nautilus and Felix currently work well in the pre-alpha COSMIC, but navigating in and working with the filesystem in terminal is a breeze when set up nicely. Bash is great, but I prefer Z shell (Zsh) with auto-suggestions, auto-completions, autojump and a stack of aliases and scripts.
Have you got "Show Window Titles" toggled off in Pop shell's settings? You can see in the extensions App. Or, try toggling off whatever you installed. Having said, auto tiling is easy enough to learn. I use the desktop without any titlebars relying on keyboard shortcuts for all window management. It's a nicer workflow.
Nice plugin! You're a champion. Thanks.
Emphasis on "running system". Similar to how you can't fully re-partition a disk you're currently using.
Good point. Not having to rely on third party software that often breaks on upgrades sounds like a massive improvement for stability.
Here's a little taste of the pre-alpha COSMIC DE. Tiling is working great and stacking has been introduced. I've got four Alacritty windows in the left stack. Running from left to right a watch (ss) , the Helix editor, cmus player, and Felix file manager TUI. COSMIC is utilizing my ZSH config and autosuggestions along with autocompletions working great. The right stack is running Firefox, Librewolf Flatpak, Nautilus and COSMIC settings. Resize is working as expected too.
This sums up the demeanor and intelligence of a lot of drivers where I am.
