I didn’t plan to write about Wayland yet. But Xorg is dying — not eventually, but now. GNOME’s dropping X11 support. RHEL already removed it. Ubuntu and Fedora are next. And if you rely on accessibility, you don’t get to wait this one out.
So here’s Post 4 of I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back.
I’m using Wayland now. Primarily. Not because I love it. Because the fallback is disappearing, and I want to be there helping fix what comes next. GNOME with Orca actually works. KDE and COSMIC are making progress. I’ve talked to the people involved. They care.
But a lot is broken.
MATE — the desktop most blind users preferred — isn’t on Wayland.
ocrdesktop doesn’t work. xdotool is gone.
wlroots compositors still don’t reliably support Orca’s keybindings, especially on laptops.
This isn’t GNOME’s fault. They’re the only reason accessibility on Wayland works at all.
But the old excuses are gone. “Just use Xorg” isn’t going to be an option much longer.
So yeah. I’m a Wayland shill now. Because I’m using it. Because I have to.
And I want to make sure we’re not excluded from what comes next.

“But that's not what happens," Connor said.

Thus, these violent physical processes are sloshing ordinary #matter around across immense distances & consigning it to the #cosmic wilderness. This #gas is not in its usual state but rather in the form of #plasma, with its electrons & protons separated.
[very cool]

"So the question we've been grappling with was: Where is it hiding? The answer appears to be: in a diffuse wispy #cosmic web, well away from #galaxies," said #Harvard University #astronomy professor Liam Connor, lead author of the study published on Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy.

Thanks to everyone who suggested the #Cosmic store as a #gnome software replacement that works with #flatpak

Testing it with #nixbook on #cinnamon and so far it's great!

At some point, I hope that the COSMIC folks implement scrollable tiling.

Regular tiling just does not work for me, but the scrollable tiling is perfect for when I work on a large widescreen or laptop screen.

Until then... I've started tinkering with COSMIC + niri. So far, so good. #Linux #COSMIC

hi
I have a #gaming #laptop with #CachyOS on it, I am a big #fan of KDE and its #environment (#customization and its closeness to winlol's UI...etc), but for the sake of #testing new things, I installed #Cosmic too, on #TTY1 I normally logged in to #SDDM and KDE, but then I switched to #TTY2 and typed #start-cosmic to test things side by side, Cosmic feels not #complete and very #GNOMEy which I #despise, I hope they complete it soon and get rid of GNOME #traits

#Autaxys posits that reality arises from fundamental relational processing. The #universe is not built from things in #space but from relations between distinctions. This is the #cosmic computation, running not on a substrate, but as the substrate itself.

Can’t wait to see all the cool ricing people make with #COSMIC

#Autaxys formal #hypothesis (H1): Given a sufficiently simple and well-defined initial set of Proto-property spaces a minimal #Cosmic Algorithm (graph rewrite rules), and a computable #Autaxic Lagrangian that embodies the Economy of Existence, the iterative application of the local maximization #dynamic to an initially simple or random graph state will spontaneously generate a non-trivial diversity of stable, emergent #patterns.

#Autaxys posits that reality emerges from the dynamic interaction of fundamental distinctions (D) and relations (R), each possessing inherent proto-properties. This interaction is governed by a minimal #cosmic #algorithm https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15623189

With this option, GNOME apps really fit in with the COSMIC apps in the #COSMIC DE and look really good :D

Tout plein de collants!!!

#system76, la compagnie derrière #popOs, basée sur #ubuntu pour les ordinateurs qu'ils vendent , offre des autocollants gratuits au coût d'une lettre pré-adressée. Fait intéressant: vous pouvez trouver le contact au Canada sur leur site donc ça ne sera pas un envoi international.

Pop_os va par ailleurs être bientôt sur #cosmic , un environnement de bureau codé en #rust . Et le Distro est disponible pour tous.

Oh, and thanks again Byron for the stickers! 🥹
