From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What is the one app you would like made for the COSMIC Desktop? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm currently using the COSMIC DE and been loving it so far. I have some experience in rust, so I want to try and make an app for cosmic (no guarantees).

Any recommendations?

a nightlight is my biggest peeve with it. also the lack of tabs and more dolphinesque features in its file browser. would be great to have file previews for less common files like .stls. runs great otherwise

i also think something like spectacle for kde but for cosmic would be fantastic, frankly spectacle is close to best in class. only competition it has is probably google's android assistant with circle to search and other convenience features of that nature. and of course sharex on windows.

ive been considering writing up some accessibility software for cosmic, mostly stuff like screen readers, local llm based screen explainers (describes images automatically to a blind user) etc.
