@soller@lemmy.world I suspect I know the answer already, but is there any plan that the Pop! Shop will be replaced when the new Pop! Cosmic DE ISO is built? I know the current Pop! Shop was based on the Elementary package manager, so I’m hoping there are plans for a change.
Yes, it will eventually be rewritten to use Rust and iced.
This looks glorious! I know it’s Pop!_OS, but with all this functionality, Cosmic would actually live up to the name “Windows”, unlike the product actually named Windows. Cosmic is a cooler name anyway :)
As a single screen user, I am really happy to see all these features. Any chance there will be a way to pin arbitrary windows on top, hide the chrome etc? Most of the time the apps I want pinned already include such features, but sometimes they don’t and it’s annoying.

New tiling looks great!
The new tiling looks very nice. I love it .
Not having a separate mode seems like a good idea. Now I wish there is an easy way to retain relative positions and sizes of applications on a specific virtual desktop. Great work team, looking forward to more cosmic!
It’s taking some effort to get used to after years of using the extension, but the design makes sense. Love the stacks icon. Will there eventually be a shortcut to move a whole stack with keyboard?
This looks great! Is there some issue tracker to follow, or is it too early for that? I’m personally really interested in the ‘Remember layout from previous session/screen setup’ feature, but I realize that might be something for later :)

Great, thanks! Subscribing
Nice, thanks for the update.
I have been playing with the pre-alpha for months and was recently pleasantly surprised by the new
Shift + Super + Arrowsfor moving windows. Way more intuitive experience and looks good too! Haven’t tried with the new stacking yet, but since it is my favorite feature for my laptop, I’m very excited to play with it.The tiling redesign looks interesting.
My tiling needs are very, very, modest, so I’m mostly happy with the new built-in one in KDE and never really took the time to learn Pop OS tiling. Seems like I’ll have to give it another go when Cosmic is released for more general testing.
Can we keep the Hot Corner feature in the new DE? Please? I use it to switch between open windows on a regular. Its the only way I switch between open windows. lol Its one of the main reasons I use Gnome. Please Please Please include it.
For cosmic do you guys have any interest in a miller columns style file manager?
I would love to have a nice column style file manager 😃. I use ranger every day and used to use mac, and its basically my main problem with nautilus
These changes look great! I totally agree with the decision to make the tiling non-modal. I can’t wait to try out the alpha!
Sorry to bother, but quick question. If someone wants to write an application with COSMIC’s look, uses libcosmic as opposed to iced?
Yes, to have integration with cosmic themes, widgets and tech; you must use libcosmic. There’s also a potential opportunity to use Slint as they’re making a COSMIC theme.
