that is a good point… I obviously missed that. my generally would only use flatpak from the same developer of the app, or I will just use the deb packaged by my distro.

actually there is difference in version between the two. deb by my distro is in 4.0.0 (mar, 2022) while flatpak is 5.0.0 (nov, 2024)

i am not sure which one is the native version… you mean the version packaged by the distro (deb) or the developer (flatpak)?

thanks, T increases the timeout and Shift+T to decrease… solved

agree, QXL is slower as compared to virtio in my testings

are you guys skipping 6.8.2 due to the regression?

please don’t skip the nice 6.9 kernel though

cosmic

are these official apps?

@mmstick and @ahoneybun are one of the contributors on https://github.com/edfloreshz/cosmic-tasks

good idea

sudo apt-manage add popdev:master

I bet in my brief testing, it’s about 70% usable.

Some features are not yet completed:

• cosmic-file, I can’t use copy/paste, open in terminal, mount any external devices.
• can’t resize any of the cosmic apps, no tiling,
• setting has todo everywhere,
• can’t see the workspace preview.

.

Some are fully usable in my use-case:

• cosmic-snapshot.
• cosmic-term.
• set background and accent colour
• pin apps to dock

.

Didn’t test:

• audio

.

But, please note that I’m running it on a vm, so the exact issues might not exist on bare metal (if anyone can chime in)… In any case, the legacy apps, ex Settings, Files, Terminal still exist.

So my procedue is to set all cosmic apps as default, and if I encounter issues, I’ll just use the legacy apps for that particular tasks, and when I’m done, I go back to cosmic apps for daily use.

apps available to try with this method are:

cosmic-edit

cosmic-files

cosmic-term

sure and I will post an update

some suggest kernel 6.7 will fix the issue but not sure about that.
