NixOS. It is like atomic, but more flexible.

Also, you could use ubuntu premium pro extra to get longterm kernel support for years. So even if the old driver would break with a future kernel version, you could then use that kernel version for a long time

NixOS. I came a long way and it combines the best of modular, customizable and immutable.

Imagine running thunderbird and firefox on an info board

Yeah right?? This might just be a small correction

Where does this work? I even tried the lemmy WebUI and didnt find such a feature

Well, PopOS is a distribution, based on Ubuntu, shipping a desktop. That desktop was formerly a customized GNOME, now they have their completely own desktop environment.

The tiling might be similar between both but their GNOME extension is probably deprecated now.

Cosmic has dynamic tiling, while KDE has many manual tiling features which may be less efficient but require nearly no setup.

This is not about GNOME…

Oversimplification. COSMIC lacks like 95% of what GNOME has that is important for regular users, like the vast extension ecosystem, GSConnect or remote RDP login as simple examples.

Dash really sucks. Use it as an interpreter for /bin/sh and thats it

Fork GNOME

No joking, have a look at GNOME circle apps in languages you like

The only address book I know is thunderbird any maybe the GNOME or KDE suite (their Personal Information Management (PIM) Suite).

Maybe the small desktops have alternatives.

Thunderbird supports CardDAV for syncronizing contacts too. But it is unencrypted so I wouldnt use it.

Etesync is encrypted.

Careful with this!

You need to change the repo priorieties to REALLY low, otherwise your system may downgrade packages and stupid shit like that.

Trust me, I extracted PopOS repos from ubuntu noble based PopOS and installed cosmic apps on debian. It worked, until it started messing up my system.

Use nix, it is way cleaner. On Debian I basically use nix for everything because many packages are missing or outdated.

Well it is some electron version, does that support it?

These are some crazy big things!!

Plasma-login is nice, has some very needed things

Plasma-keyboard is essential for anyone on a convertible or even tablet, as the old maliit keyboard is abandonware

The usb portal will be really useful

Ocr support in spectacle! This exists on proprietary android but not AOSP, and on windows too. Really neat. I hope the integration is nice, this is a really big UI task.

Bro fears normal distros

Is there a list of good GIMP 3 compatible plugins?

You are talking about global themes which is a bundle of plasmoids (which are executable code), SDDM themes (executable code, they are working on their own login manager to change that) as well as simple files like color schemes, cursor themes, icon themes, splash screens.

Well that is probably dash to panel. Or does it autohide somehow?

Themes are not a security risk XD executable code, widgets and a lack of standardization resulting in shady install scripts, that is a security risk

Themes are just colors
