I'd recommend spending some time reading about it. It's not as hard as he thinks. Applications developed for Linux are quite easy to port to Redox. It supports many of the same system calls and has a compatible libc implementation. The kernel does have abstractions to ease the porting process. And if you're going to make a new kernel today, you should do it right and make a microkernel like Redox. One of the benefits of having a microkernel is that it doesn't matter what language you write drivers in. They're isolated to their own processes. Rust, C, C++, whatever.

It does work like this, but as with justice, the wheels can be slow at times.

What report are you referring to?

What GPU configuration do you have? I don't have any of these issues. If NVIDIA, you have to wait for NVIDIA to release explicit sync Wayland drivers.

I've seen plenty of people using GTK themes with rectangular switches.

I'd recommend everyone to try out cosmic-store (with cosmic-icons) when they get a chance. Whether you use COSMIC or not, it's fully functional with any desktop environment. It's packaged by default in Pop!_OS 22.04, available in Fedora 40 via ryanabx/cosmic-epoch, and the AUR.

Yeah, it's in the Pop!_OS 22.04 repositories, this Fedora 40 COPR, and on the AUR.

Consumes less energy (CPU) while also rendering more responsively.

I'd just remove it with sudo apt remove pop-shop, and install cosmic-store (with cosmic-icons) instead.

Pop Shop

Install the cosmic-store (with cosmic-icons) and try it out!

Speaking of being defensive, not only are you being far more defensive than I, but these bullet points are both misleading and wildly inaccurate. It's also telling that you think none of my points are good, when they are the truth. Could you possibly be even more a hypocrite?

[–] mmstick@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think it already it is available on NixOS

COSMUnity (lemmy.world)
 

It will be possible to configure COSMIC to look like Unity out of the box. There's only a few panel applets that need to be implemented to make the experience 1:1.

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.

COSMIC is a Wayland desktop environment for Linux that is written in Rust with Smithay and Iced. COSMIC applications are developed with the libcosmic platform toolkit, which is based on iced. They are cross-platform and supported on Windows, Mac, and Redox OS in addition to Linux.

As COSMIC nears its alpha release in Q1 of 2024, we have thus far developed a terminal, file manager, and text editor for our desktop environment within the last few months.

See cosmic-epoch for instructions on building and installing COSMIC.
