switch to COSMIC desktop
tracking blockers for switching over: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch
-
bug: Steam app performs terribly, seems to be doing so much work that it takes multiple seconds to respond to user input -
need to be able to configure displays (resolution, position, scaling): wlr-randr
works! -
need to be able to take screenshots ( flameshot
works with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway) -
bug: COSMIC session fails to start for laptop when external display is plugged in: seems fine now -
bug: Firefox window initially doesn't seem to get managed/sized/positioned correctly: turns out this was because Firefox window was maximised, so this was expected behaviour -
bug: screen share in https://meet.jit.si/ in Firefox in flatpak (works as of https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/pull/136) -
need to be able to lock the screen: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-greeter -
need to be able to automatically lock the screen after 5 idle minutes: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/172 -
need to handle last remaining display turning off: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp/issues/57 -
fractional scaling without needing apps to opt-in: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp/issues/133
nice-to-have:
-
need to be able to configure displays automatically (resolution, position, scaling): shikane
says "wlr-output-management protocol version 2 < 3 is not supported" -
need to handle laptop lid close: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp/issues/19 -
fractional scaling per app opt-in via https://wayland.app/protocols/fractional-scale-v1
