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.
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.
Hm, the compositor stuff just works
The packages also dont interfere with others, probably? So on Fedora, just add the COPR and try them
COSMIC is extremely stable. I had a single crash or something, and that was a while ago. It is mainly just lacking features, but that is likely already at least as good as most Window Managers like Sway, that are extremely barebones.
No way. Then better use FydeOS.
Note that while ChromeOS is really really nice, beautiful and intuitive, it has like no support for running apps normally. You get Android apps and Debian in a container.
The performance sucks, you should setup unattended-upgrades.
But yeah, after that it could be great. If they never touch the terminal they cant break anything.
And while you can run Android and debian browsers (I tried Android Mull and Brave, and Debian Firefox and Brave both from their official repos), Chrome is always there and mostly the default I think.
Bluefin is GNOME on Fedora. It always changes and breaks stuff, Extensions maybe for the last time (was the change of how they should be written already?)
CentOS Bootc will be SO great. It will be the atomic rock stable workhorse that never ever breaks.
Also CentOS Stream 10 will get Plasma 6 afaik
And in KDE you can tweak it how you like.
Save the Wifi passwords unencrypted to the system, then you can use autologin without needing KWallet
Cosmic is already more usable than most Window managers, that literally just manage Windows.
I mean, it has apps… and GUI settings…
There is a guy called Ryan Brue that packages all the COSMIC apps. He created a SIG and in the channel there are some COSMIC Devs helping out.
There is a uBlue variant with COSMIC, working pretty great.
COSMIC just breaks KDE Apps a bit. Will have to see if some package may fix them, as they are so themable that missing packages make them use aome shitty fallback theme.
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.
