| I've tried the Cosmic alpha and, while I like various things it does, I can't see myself using it as a daily driver yet: - The clock doesn't show the weekday or the year and shows the month by name rather than by number, - Can't make the stupendously oversized title bar smaller, - Can't change the mouse cursor theme, - I hate dynamic workspaces, I just want to open something on, say, workspace 3 and have it stay there. However I do like some things it does: - Independent workspaces per monitor, so if I switch workspaces on monitor 1 the workspace on monitor 2 stays the same. This is the big one which I miss in KDE, though I wonder if that means that Cosmic isn't EWMH compliant (as if it matters), - (Mostly) sane keyboard shortcuts, where (almost) every DE-specific shortcut involves the Super (AKA Meta, AKA Mod4) key. I believe Apple's OSX also does something like this where all the desktop-level shortcuts involve the CMD key, - If I move my cursor to a monitor with no open applications, hit the shortcut for the application launcher, and launch an application; then it opens that application on the monitor with the cursor. KDE (with Kwin) struggles with that, so I call that another win. For reference I'm currently trying Cosmic on Tumbleweed, some of that stuff may differ between distros. |
Is this also enforced for apps? I'd switch back to linux in a heartbeat if I could do this. The use of `control` as both a UI and a terminal binding basically ruins the entire os for me.
