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.

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.

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.

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”?

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

This is part of the reason why so many on the right are labeling any use of “fascism” as dangerous rhetoric – to remove the ability to discuss current happenings in a more meaningful way.

Once shareholders feel entitled to endless increases in profit, the writing is on the wall. You cannot squeeze blood from a stone.

I’m sure this will only bolster his popularity.

Ah yes, of course, Donald Trump, president of Israel

This. All of these problems are solved by people not giving money. But often it seems difficult for people to actually stand behind principle when the time comes – convenience is a helluva drug.

In linguistics this is called “code switching”, and it is extremely common among native bilinguals.

That is altogether too damn sensible to be accepted by anyone.

This is one thing that those supporting runaway capitalism don’t seem to understand. Money ultimately flows up. It relies on a bunch of people closer to the bottom to start that flow. The more people taking part, the better. Each consumer can put in a little if the number of consumers is high.

If market prices go up so far that the people at the bottom can’t initiate that flow, then the system fails. Money doesn’t flow at all, and those at the top start taking losses. Dominoes fall. The system needs consumers to be able to afford goods. It’s one reason why prices cannot just go up until the end of time. You can’t squeeze blood from a stone.

But so many of these rich folks now are under the impression that money just flows in without understanding from where. Prices just go up, as if it were an infinite money glitch. These people will eventually have an awakening.

Jerry who?

To each their own I guess (which is the point after all :) ). I’ve never had an issue with Jellyfin for music in the few years I’ve used it. All setups are different though.

I’ve never had an issue, hm.
