A Week in Cosmic on BARE METAL!
I spent a full 7 days working the day job and playing around in the new Cosmic desktop from System76's Pop!_OS.
Some things I forgot to mention in the video:
- Would like to have a pywal type effect that would change the accent and active hint colors to match the current wallpaper.
- Im using 2 GB of ram at idle. During my normal workday with 3 browsers, 6-9 tabs open and the occasional Libreoffice sheet open. Ram was typically around 5-6 GB avg with one peak that I noticed was up to 10 GB when I also had a vm running for a short while. These are nearly the same that I get with Pop shell (gnome version) on the same machine.
- Multi monitor on Cosmic is a dream come true. This is the proper way for a DE to implement tiling window features. Not this convoluted crap that Gnome and KDE did. Its obvious that the Cosmic devs are true tiling window manager fans. This is 100% AWESOME! A user wants to take advantage of multiple desktops. Most will use 1 or 2 windows per desktop. Cosmic makes me think of what you would get if i3/bspwm and gnome had a baby.
