I had those too, but they have gone away for me on 24.04.

Not the Steam client itself, but some games like to start minimized still. That’s a minor annoyance, but it is also completely fixed by simply launching everything in gamescope, which plays very nicely with COSMIC.

COSMIC now has a workspaces overview which is quite similar.

I’ve been daily driving COSMIC for about 6 months now. It has improved dramatically, and I (mostly) love it. Stable too. It’s kept me on Pop and I’m now on 24.04.

I have a triple monitor setup, and I like COSMIC’s tiling features and that I can very easily move around between windows and workspaces without the mouse. It’s similar to i3 in feel (not as lightweight of course), but with easier setup. I can set tiling on or off for specific workspaces, which is great for differing workloads. Numbered shortcuts work too (e.g. option+3 takes me to workspace 3). It is much, much, MUCH better than the tiling features they added for Pop Shell in earlier versions using Gnome.

There are a couple things I would like: the ability to pin specific apps to specific workspaces would be nice, and I wish workspace numbering could span monitors (at the moment, each monitor has its own set of numbers, but they overlap each other so you can’t jump to another display only with the number). But tbh I don’t care too much about these since everything else has been great.

I don’t really use the COSMIC apps (Files, text editor, etc), but that hasn’t mattered either.

Edit: if anyone finds it relevant, I’m running a 9700x with 64GB RAM and a 7800XT. Go Team Red.

Jokes on them, my kink is being left alone by absolutely everyone

Now they must use this rage. Channel it, into not fucking voting for Republicans.

Peggle. As a grown ass person I still play it at least once every couple of weeks. Stupid fun when you don’t want to pay too much attention.

And it feels like an equal number of people believe it is a failure of capitalism as those claiming it is a beauty of capitalism.

I rememeber when “the 1%” was a thing. It wasn’t that long ago.

And no one really cared. The rich just do want they want and entire countries full of people just spend and spend and pretend like a Balenciaga T-shirt that took them 100 hours of labor to afford is worth mountains of systematic injustices.

I’m so tired of this timeline.

This this this. Show me a conservative that a) can understand that different people are affected by different things at different times, b) that people in government need to accept (a), and c) that they aren’t the main character, and I’ll show you Half Life 3.

They literally control all the government. And they still couldn’t govern.

If the roles were reversed, I can’t even imagine the right wing media backlash.

And here I’ve just been shutting the power off for years!

(That’s on me, I should have put a /s by my pun above)

I wouldn’t say like, I just don’t know how to quit it.

Most times I listen to records.

For digital music, I have a local collection. I copy chunks of it to my phone periodically for remote listening.

Making people pay over and over again for the same product is the greatest trick businesses ever pulled.

The lack of response on the part of the driver as he sees the obstacle, because he’s trusting some poorly made, lowest-cost bullshit in a Tesla with his life, is peak 2025 stupidity. Chef’s kiss.

I’ll take cherrypicking for $500, Alex

Yeah, this needs to get regulated away right quick. But it won’t.

Remember when “reaping the rewards” required “taking the risk”?

Clearly he’s saying “Trump stop”, another crazy lefty /s

I agree with you that it’s slow – and yet, it is one of the very few games I actually finished. That’s highly unusual for me. And then I went back and played it again.

It’s a game designed to be sipped, not gulped.

Something tells me it ended up in the hands of the people who coined “kompromat”.

I mean. It does make me feel better knowing I’m not actually alone.
