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

we will see about the 6.8.2

are these official apps?

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

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
