This guy doesnt use tabs

My backup is seeding.

I explained KDE Apps.

COSMIC is fine and a really great project. But they are simply lacking like 10 years of development behind KDE.

Not gonna say that once ready it could simply be better, faster, more streamlined, no cruft. But yeah, not in the next few years.

Interesting, thanks!

I know Fedora has some meta-theme package, they should add that to Workstation too.

It includes the breeze themes.

Then a flatpak env var or /etc/environment could work

Already did that. Those apps are themed horribly and are thus unusable. Afaik there is also no scaling setting for 3rd party toolkits in the COSMIC settings.

Ark can do more, like compress in detail, from the filemanager.

Gwenview is an image editor with many basic features you want.

Spectacle has another image editing feature, for some reason KDE has 4 implementations of that, Spectacle has the only good one. This can be used standalone with the Dolphin extension “annotate it”.

Dolphin is waaay better than COSMIC files, absolutely no comparison. If it is just a customizable GUI, custom icons for everything, extensions.

I dont ger Thunar. pcmanfm-qt is the best alternative to Dolphin I know. At least the theming works on KDE, may be different on other desktops

Tbh as long as COSMIC lacks 1:1 theming support for KDE apps, it is not usable.

I love KDE Apps. There are also some GTK Apps I use, but the big ones (Dolphin, Okular, Gwenview, Ark, Spectacle Editor) are all KDE.

Yeah why need a 3rd party client if Qt works on all platforms too…

Yes this is really wtf.

Linux even has a webview. KDE has QtWebengine, GNOME has WebkitGTK.

There also is Tauri, which seems to be a way better solution.

I rely on 4 Electron apps and hate it.

(Signal, MullvadVPN, Nextcloud, FreeTube)

I am pretty certain those are the reason why my RAM use is to huge, 6GB with no open apps!

ChromeOS is so nice because all these optimized apps simply really run in the same browser. Android the same.

I think Windows (and MacOS?)are also pretty good there… because they have marketshare.

But well, did you know Office 365 for Mac is 5,2GB???

Yes ok, so that is kinda fine.

The app is still huge. And using separate accounts is probably a workflowbreaker for many.

But good that at least that works kinda :)

Hmm have to check that again.

I really like SimpleX on Android, it is a good and often way better Signal replacement.

Pretty cool!

Android and ChromeOS both also just use fuse for userspace (and user-files) encryption. This could totally be used too.

But of course, if something is not on your RAM it is not safe

Yes. No proof their LUKS prompt isnt tampered with

So how do you decrypt the LUKS vault when you have no sshd running as that thing is not up yet?

The name is misleading, but even if the core system was unchangeable, Linux desktops are all configurable per-user (i.e. without sudo) so even on SteamOS etc. this would be fine.

These are all configurable per-user, so no issue at all. SDDM themes are an exception, here you can use sddm2rpm or other methods. sddm2rpm is the most elegant, without changing much on the system.

You can also install rpm packages.

Go to discussion.fedoraproject.org if you need help. Use the tags #atomic-desktops #rpm-ostree and similar ones and you will get help quickly.

uBlue Bazzite. Nothing better than that.

Customizable is a broad term.

I learned that rpm-ostree cant remove packages from an OCI image, ever.

So even if I have a blue-build process for example in secureblue removing Firefox, it is just removed on my side, locally. Thats why I cant reinstall it.

Instead of learning about all the Flatpak packaging conventions, I just translated the docs!

Thats very understandable. Meanwhile I think no beginners use Sway etc.

Yes, I know. She has a Framework Chromebook? Or do you actually run ChromeOS Flex on a Framework?

Both options are… interesting XD

Yes I would enable complete auto upgrades for the container. Maybe that could be hacked a bit by placing desktop entries somewhere.

Linux apps are running in a virtual machine that runs a Container. But they have access to storage, so it is relevant.

But I agree that ChromeOS is really well made. But a Tracking Hell full of Google too.

FydeOS is the only one you can use with a local account. Not even Android sucks that much.

You can? And then it still launches the Plasma session?

That may be an XOrg thing, which Fedora dropped. But the apps could still run on Xorg.
