I’ll retire in 2 years

So basically 4 decades

That’s just life of a C++ programmer: you second guess everything, and there are still optimization you haven’t tried, and pitfalls you haven’t got into

It does have a purpose. It’s written all over the place. It just happens that all of the purposes don’t fit your needs or interest you, so it sounds like a waste of effort. To many others, it’s not

I’m sure it’s not, but even if it is, I’m happy for the project because it fits one of my needs in the Linux space. To other people like the Rust lovers, it’s another ambitious project that uses their favorite technology. It might not sound or look so appealing to you, but at the end of the day, it’s a project that has good motivation and does deliver so far, which is the backstory behind many scientific and technological advances. As someone who is not the developer, nor the employer at System76 who pays the developers, so why not just sit back and see how it ends up, as opposed to being super critical about it?

As a WM user myself, it’s a big hassle to choose system utilities, and to manually write config or environment variables to have programs understand I’m using a custom DE and just behave like it’s GNOME, KDE or XFCE.

On the other hand, mainstream DE don’t natively support tiling. There are extensions or plugins do that, but there are a lot of problems with that. To name a few, 1) like said, they are sometimes bugged in edge cases; 2) I could report the bug, but it takes time to fix it, during which I have to disable the plugin; 3) when the extension devs abandon the project, I have to move on with a new one, which often behaves differently; 4) when the extension or the newest version of the extension requires newer dependencies, but I can’t install them because I don’t want to shake the whole dependency tree for my system

All aforementioned problems can be resolved with a DE that natively supports tiling, and as of now Cosmic is the first that does it in history, letting alone supporting Wayland as well. From that perspective, the project is not “just a rewrite of what’s existing already”

I’ve had issues where the tiled windows go all over the place before/after connecting to external monitors in GNOME Pop shell. I can’t speak for the entire Cosmic project, but as an end user who wants an established DE with native tiling windows that always work as intended, I consider the project justified

Wait till bro find out the program written in the “memory safe language” depends on many libraries written in C

“Hey you want some potato chips?”

• “Potato chip sounds good” => Yes please
• “I’m good” => No thanks

Messed me up all the time first time came to the US. Why use positive response for rejection?

In Yakuza series, a character’s tatoo is often all over on thier back and represents the person’s personality, idealogy, or role in the story. The tatoo often has a Japanese or Chinese folk lore reference to it

Like this >!Raid Shadow Legends!< and you can’t block this

Looks so good! Can you share the dotfiles?

You always have the freedom of clone the src and compile the latest version yourself. Or if you want the package manager do the job, use distrobox and make an Arch container

Wdym distraction free I thought ricing is the biggest distraction
