I really didn’t think it’d make it THIS year.

Good news, although personally I am very happy with KDE. We will follow it closely :wink:

Same here. But I do have a laptop I’d be willing to use once it’s released.

Nice, very nice. Salivating over anticipation. :drooling_face:

Maybe we see it on EOS? :thinking:

That’s my hope. If so, I’ll put it on my laptop.

Well, if it’s built for Arch we will. Not that I’ll switch from Plasma in any case. Whether it will be in the installer is a different matter.

This is what i meant. Having it on the installer! But not up to me. :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s been available for Arch since almost day 1 :slight_smile: And it coexists nicely with Plasma (in my experience).

Yes but once it’s complete and not a beta anymore changes things a bit. So i would think it would be nice to have it on the install process. :thinking:

Is this what is going to make 2025 The Year of Linux Desktop?
Or that would be next year? :sweat_smile:

Nope EOS is going to be the Year of The Linux Desktop. Soon!!! :rofl:

Should be simple enough, it’s well-defined and pulls in it’s dependencies (as it exists now). I’ve installed it on several Arch-based distros (including Cachy, plain Arch, and EOS) and had no difficulties with installation/usage.

I’m really hopeful for this project in the long term, but in the short term I can’t see myself using it. I think it still needs work. Just as an example, I didn’t like this architecturally, and I couldn’t find any further work on it after this work (If someone knows of any later related work, please do point me to it as I was keeping an eye on these issues).

Also let’s wait until it actually gets released to get excited, cause they missed their Beta projected release date by 2 Quarters already (

).

But I’m super appreciative of the vision and really wish them immense success in the future!! :rocket:

it’s the official release so most kinks must be worked out. Will try it in 6 months if the buzz is still there.

Good for system76.

I personally cannot afford their products but I like looking at them. Real wood kicks ass.

I checked cosmic one week ago and it froze when i launched world of warcraft. Also system keybinds are wanky. December feels a bit rushed

More buzz more feeeback is up or down…mather of dev. Most bugs should be out atleast
