Pop!_OS (Linux)

github says it is done but i donnot see it in pop store when is it available?

I started using linux a couple of years ago and it was pop os that im still using today. When i started, apps many was across all screen, it was big and strange to me that on desktop computer its all so big and apps icons are to big.. But luckly that was changed after some time and now we have much smaller widow with apps and thats much better, but i think that its still to big and that it should be smaller. Im i the only one that think this way..? Is there a chance that it could be updated with new cosmic “Rust” release?

The application is still being actively developed but I wanted to share my experience working on it.

While working with libcosmic, a pre-alpha library, I was pleasantly surprised by the available resources. Unlike many early-stage projects, libcosmic has well-written documentation that clearly explains core concepts and functionalities. Beyond the documentation, the project provides practical examples showcasing common use cases and real applications being actively developed.

But libcosmic's true strength lies in its community, the team at S67 has been incredibly supportive, not only did they answer questions promptly but also actively contribute to the project's growth. This kind of collaborative spirit fosters a welcoming environment for developers of all levels.

I've had the opportunity to contribute back to the project and my contributions were well received, the willingness of the S67 team to collaborate and integrate contributions ensures that libcosmic will continue to evolve and empower developers to create next-generation desktop applications.

Join the community, delve into the code, and be part of shaping the future of COSMIC.

I created a GitHub repository to showcase COSMIC projects.

I included the projects I could find but if you have an project and want to include it, please open a pull request with your project added to the applications.ron or applets.ron file.

COSMIC Store is coming along quickly, though there is still a lot left to do. It loads nearly instantly, because it uses bitcode to cache appstream data in an optimized format. It uses very little memory compared to the Pop Shop. Searches can be performed live as they are done in parallel. Searching for "e" takes 5.5 ms on my desktop and returns 4601 results.

1. install virt-manager

2. create a vm pop-os

3. start the vm

4. sudo apt install cosmic-session

5. sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

6. ... set .. WaylandEnable=true

7. reboot

8. at the log in screen, there is a small gear wheel on the bottom right side, choose “Pop on Wayland" (edit: if you want COSMIC DE to work too, see update below) (edit2: if you can't see the gear wheel, see update2 below)

.

update:

there are some settings on the virt-manager to make COSMIC DE works.

if you don't need to run COSMIC DE, can ignore the following

• Display Spice : Type = Spice server, Listen type = none, uncheck password / opengl
• Video : use QXL (instead of default Virtio)

new step 8. at the log in screen, there is a small gear wheel on the bottom right side, choose “COSMIC"

.

update2:

• sudo nano /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules

• Goto the line that reads LABEL="gdm_prefer_xorg"

• .. commend out the next line .. #RUN+="/usr/libexec/gdm-runtime-config set daemon PreferredDisplayServer xorg"

• Goto the the line that reads LABEL="gdm_disable_wayland"

• .. commend out the next line .. #RUN+="/usr/libexec/gdm-runtime-config set daemon WaylandEnable false"

• sudo systemctl restart gdm.service

To reproduce this, click Application (or Super + A), Hover over to the Firefox Icon, right click.

there are "New Window" "New private window" and "Open Profile manager"..

the last one wasn't here before the update. can i get rid of it?

Hello, for months I've had a problem on my #PopOS, on some apps, when I open a window for the first time after a start-up or after a sleep mode, the window closes automatically.

It's a bit random, where it always happens is with the "Files" application, it's very annoying.

Today we have the one of the 2 founders of System76 and current CEO of the company Carl Richell on the show to chat about the history of the company, how we got here and some of the cool stuff they've got in store.

I recently installed Pop on another device, everything is fine except for Pop Shop which seems to be missing apps that I already have installed through there on my main desktop.

I checked that I hadn't accidentally deleted/messed with the sources and they all look fine. These are common apps like Librewolf, Joplin and Standard Notes.

I know they can be installed through other methods like apt or appimage but am curious as to the possible reasons behind the discrepancy. What's more confusing is that I had a few attempts installing Pop (as recently as 10hrs ago) on this newer device and they appeared then!

I'm using the virt-manager to install Pop!_OS on a virtual machine from the latest ISO image (...38.iso) with QEMU for testing:

GRUB starts okay, running the tests. Then the QEMU window turns completely black and nothing changes for hours. This didn't happen with the previous ...36.iso of the image.

Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you!

note that, this issue has been around since ...37.iso

With today's repo-release PR #312, Pop!_OS is now building packages for 24.04 (Noble Numbat).

While this doesn't mean a release will happen any time soon, it does mean they are now beginning the process of testing and packaging for 24.04. In particular, they are now building many of the COSMIC DE components for 24.04 with this pull request.

The base Ubuntu 24.04 LTS shipping with Linux kernel 6.8 is anticipated for release on April 25th, 2024.

Today I saw someone once again trash System76 for rebranding Clevo machines and writing that off as some kind of deceptive business model. Ultimately, they're not "just rebranded Clevo...", but even if they were, the ignorant douchebag posting this misguided rant fails to acknowledge that EVERY SINGLE LAPTOP OEM does the same. Yes, HP, Dell, Lenovo - fucking all of them!

Sometimes when resuming from sleep, or when playing a fullscreen video, my screen will fill with white video blocks.

rebooting will fix the problem (until it appears again).

$ uname -r

Similar to this: https://i.bke.ro/selif/artifacts.mp4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xt2e9Lt2gg

One solution is to add amdgpu.sg_display=0

sudo kernelstub -a "amdgpu.sg_display=0"

It is fine when not put in full screen. When i put it in fullscreen mode, it shrinks to about 1/3 to 1/4 and moves to upper left corner. This happens only on a wayland session/

my laptop resolution is 2256x1504, while my monitor has standard 1920x1080. when I start Pop is always default 200% scale, even I changed it to 100% before. I have to manually set it to 100% scale on my laptop and monitor. But it would not sustain. When I unplug hdmi and reconnect, everything goes back to default. Is there any ways I can optimize this? thank you
