Mending Wall v0.3.2 is now out with support for #COSMIC from #System76!

I've been wanting to try out the COSMIC alpha, so added support to Mending Wall to make it possible without risking my GNOME and KDE installs (desktop environments often interfere with each other). It woks!

Whoa! I just found out #System76 Launch
#keyboards have programmable layers! I never knew that! Why doesn't anybody talk about that?

It's basically the same size and key count as the #Logitech MX Keys for Mac that I have.

I also have a Moonlander from ZSA. On which, I made a Tmux layer where I've simplified most tmux commands from 3 keypresses down to one. e.g. Ctrl+Space Down is mapped to J. It's a macro where I've “hard coded” the tmux prefix into the macro. Is this possible on the Launch

My new Thelio computer arrived from #System76 today, so I'll be setting it up. It will probably be dual boot, but first I need to check out everything to make sure it works. *Then* I'll reformat the hard drives and corrupt it with *ugh* Windows 11.

I'll have to make sure to disable Recall and Copilot, too.

ha, typical. Somehow the new #System76 desktop environment #cosmicde just clicked in the past week, after on and off trying out it and window tiling and stacking. Now that I have a flow of managing my windows this way, today's Cosmic updates break the Workspaces part of the panel 😐

I've had so many #USBC ports crap out on me. My phone, kid's tablet, kid's laptop, school chromebooks. I'm still using my phone thanks to wireless charging. Amazingly, the kid's laptop is a few years old Lenovo laptop which also has a barrel connector power port (even though it shipped with a USB-C power supply), so I ordered a replacement barrel connector power supply.

No problems with my #System76 laptop, but that came with a barrel charger because someone at that company knows what's up.

I could get used to this pretty quickly. It looks like COSMIC is shaping up to be a nice middle ground between GNOME's austere rounded-corner aesthetic and KDE's option-heavy business-suit aesthetic.

Hey, #KDE devs: have a look at how #COSMIC is doing tiling and COPY IT.
