Yes. In Steam I tried both a native Linux game (Team Fortress 2) and a windows game (Expeditions Mudrunner) in compatibility mode with Proton. Both worked just fine but there are minor annoyances with COSMIC DE.

• COSMIC Settings: There’s no option to set your primary and secondary display, so I had to switch around some display port and HDMI cables.

• Display Issues: When I updated the display setting to 120Hz for my gaming monitor, it crashed the system and refused to boot the OS on restart, it would hang up with some error messages after the login screen. I had to start my desktop with a different monitor plugged in, and then connect my gaming monitor and make sure it was only set to 60hz so it wouldn’t crash again.

• COSMIC Files: The file system doesn’t display filesize of folders or groups of files, only individual files

Verdict: COSMIC is still in Alpha but it feels really crisp and snappy, smooth interacting with applications. You may run into some minor annoyances or bugs that could lead you to need to reinstall. If you’re like me who only uses Steam and Firefox and hardly any local files/applications, you’ll probably be fine if you run into any bugs. Also I have my laptop with Gnome POPos to fall back to if my desktop running COSMIC gets bricked and needs a fresh install.

For now I am having a better experience in COSMIC PopOS than with GNOME PopOS. For a few weeks now I wasn’t able to get the PopStore running in Gnome DE, and also my firefox kept freezing the entire system after leaving a twitch stream running for a few hours. None of the issues I was having with GNOME PopOS are here in COSMIC PopOS. I’m looking forward to all the improvements and updates until full COSMIC launch. Also planning to get a System76 gaming desktop with AMD, probably next year when I can save up some money and maybe COSMIC will be more refined by then.

Not really, gaming is still my main hobby when I’m home. I’m just sinking thousands of hours in to more compelling gaming experiences.

Thanks, that helped. I installed Cosmic on my gaming desktop yesterday, runs everything I need just fine (after a bunch of updates and restarts) - Steam, Firefox, Freetube, VLC, Chromium, Discord

Some minor hiccups when transferring files from a flash drive or opening local files, but otherwise everything runs great on Firefox/Steam/VLC (95% of my computer usage)

• Civ IV 1000+ hours
• Civ V ~370 hours
• Civ VI ~37 hours

Been playing since OG Civ on floppy disk. I’ll skip Civ VII

I couldn’t get video conferencing to work (zoom/google meet) so I reinstalled PopOS. Also the timezone was stuck to UTC.

I don’t have an extra computer lying around just to test COSMIC, but I did like what functionality was there. Will definitely move desktop and laptop over once its ready for daily driver.

Edit: I forgot to connect to wifi before running the terminal commands to update and upgrade. I now have COSMIC working on my gaming desktop.

I didn’t either. Apparently there was some foiled terror plot at a concert this month.

Thanks for sharing. The formatting messes up once you get to the 2nd page of your resume.

Its a map of future heatstroke and kidney disease as humans sweat out all their water tryin to cool off. Probably a lot of human suffering and migration in the near future.

I’ve been using maps like these to figure out where its safe to live and also for retirement planning.

Edit: I thought i was replying on a different post but its highly relevant

Right looks like instagram DM in dark mode, and left looks like a list of accounts he doesn’t follow (looks like they are a Blue rectangle with the text ‘Follow’ inside)

Maybe he thought he could hide it if he didn’t follow the accounts and only stuck to DM’s lol

thanks! for a sec i thought it was snacks or potporri or something

What’s in the jar?

edit: nvm its an ashtray, those are cigarette butts

edit: Firefox on Android also allows add-ons, so you can install ublock origin in the firefox android app and probably watch ad free that way as well.
