It’s really a great distro, I’ve been using it fulltime on laptop and PC for over a year. Best one I’ve tried so far and for some reason it’s less buggy than EndeavourOS was for me. The only thing I don’t like about it is the name.

Linux@lemmy.ml•System76 Launches Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS With COSMIC Desktop
13·2 months agoKrohnkite? It unfortunately doesn’t have anywhere near the polish and ease of use as the PopOS implementation, for example its easy toggling between tiling and stacking. Nobody comes close to the way PopOS has done it.

521·2 months agoAwesome, congrats to the team. I don’t use it anymore but I’ll always have a soft spot for PopOS as being the distro that finally made me a Linux fulltimer. I really wish KDE would implement their tiling system.

Linux@lemmy.ml•my reason why you should use KDE+Krohnkite instead of WMs
4·3 months agoIf KDE had a toggleable tiling feature like PopOS it would be the perfect DE.
Admittedly I use an NVMe drive but I’ve never had this happen once in the years I’ve been using KDE. Dolphin is so much snappier than Windows Explorer on the same hardware that it’s almost funny.
But… Why? It’s just a mediocre and laggy copy of Dolphin.
Doom Emacs for those who have truly ascended.

Linux@lemmy.ml•System76’s COSMIC Desktop Hits Initial Setup Completion
2·5 months agoThat’s to float one particular app window, it doesn’t disable Krohnkite altogether. The magic of the PopOS tiling is that the toggle fully enables/disables it, effectively switching between a stacked and a tiling WM with the click of a button.

2·5 months agoI never found any way to set up a keybind - I had to deactivate and logout.
Edit: I checked again and there’s no hotkey anywhere. If you have a way to do this, I’m all ears.

3·5 months agoTried it - it works, but isn’t toggleable like the PopOS tiling which has a taskbar button and a hotkey.

Just to clarify, COSMIC is a DE, not a distro. PopOS is their distro.
Quid futuendum fēcistī dīxistī recens futuēns mihi, tu canis femina parva? īnfōrmābō te diplomavi apex scholae mea in Classēs SEAL, et involūtus sum in incursiōnēs multae in Al-Quæda, et habeo super trecentī caedēs rata. Condoceor in mīlitiae sīmiōrum et sum apex sagittāriōs optimus in totum manūs armāta Americānus. Es nihil mihi sed tantummodo scopus alius. Dēlēbō te futuere ex cum accūrātiō hulusmodi numquam vīsus sum in hic mundus, intendite sermonibus futuēns meis. Putāsne potes abīre cum dīcēns quod merdās mihi super interrētī? Cōgitā iterum, futūtor. Dum loquimur, sum contactāns rēticulum arcanus ēmissāriōrum trāns USA et IP tuus vestīgātur iam ergo tu praeparēs pro tempestās, vermicule. Tempestās quod dēlet res flēbilis parvus tu vocās vita tua. Es futuēns mortuus, puere. Possum esse usquam, umquam, et possum necāre te in super septingentī modī variī, et est tantummodo cum manūs nūdī meī. Nedum sum conductus sum plūrifāriam in bellum inermis, sed habeō concessiō armāmentāriō tota de Corps Marinus Americānus et ūtar id ad amplitudine dēlēre cūlus misellus parvus tuus ex faciēs continentis, tu merda parva.

Sed tu non potuistī, tu non fēcistī, et nunc es compensāns pretium, tu idiōta deus-rancidus. Iram cacābō undiquesecus te et obruēs in id. Es futuēns mortuus, puere.
Not really, I’m sure someone who “only speaks English” can get the gist of it.
