Frankly, I would prefer using Nautilus, VLC in a stable cosmic-comp. I believe the S76 team has strayed bit of the target by working on features that are not urgent (like Cosmic Edit, Cosmic MP). Still, it seems to be progressing pretty well.
I tried daily drive but could not continue due to some critical but minor issues. I will try it again when it is labeled as beta because I really like its speed and appearance.
You can’t release a desktop operating system without a file manager or text editor. The xdg desktop portal interface for the file chooser portal dialogs requires a file manager to be implemented for the portal to be able to create a file chooser dialog for the operating system on behalf of applications requested file choosers through the portal.
The text editor is also required to have a GUI toolkit featuring properly rendered and editable text. It is thanks to the text editor project that the Rust ecosystem now has cosmic-text as the de facto crate for handling text layout, shaping, and rendering with support for international language glyps, ligatured language scripts, and bidirectional text layouts.
I run it as live usb, looking good. ANy plan to allow us to run on vm? I don’t have a spare laptop I can use for testing…thank you
Virtual machines have always been supported as long as you enable GPU acceleration. GNOME Boxes, virt-manager, and VirtualBox have been tested.
