    First time in a while I’ve been excited for a Linux release. Can’t wait to install this on my gaming laptop. Pop!_OS has been a favorite of mine for gaming laptops for a while now.

    Nothing else comes as close to being “out of the box perfect”. All the FN keys work, fan control works even on ASUS (a lot of them have proprietary controllers), etc.

    Awesome work! Looking forward to trying it out. I remember reading HDR support was on the roadmap, when is that planned?

    Definitely going to throw this on my laptop and use it as much as possible. I love Pop!_OS with it’s built in features and how well it works and feels to do stuff with touchpad gestures. Still staying with Windows on my main PC as I expect some issues that will need to be ironed out and may get annoying in the long run.

      I started the same way. Eventually I dualbooted and I think i’m pretty much ready to convert except for VR.

      Happy Travels!

      Disclaimer: I don’t know anything about the dependencies of Flameshot. Perhaps this is related that in Cosmic they are moving away from X to Wayland?

      In any case. I’ve tried flameshot so many times and I always come to the same conclusion. It has too much stuff; it tries to do so many things that I just get confused when all I want to do is take a quick window capture or a selection area capture. I can do post processing if needed in some other app. Gnome’s screenshot app is perfect; and Pop’s implementation that they’re showing here looks very similar.

      But I get it that some folks might want those extra features. Cool, it’s just not for me.

        Flameshot works on Wayland (atleast on KDE)

        Gnome is just being stupid in hardcoding an exception for only its own tool under the guise of privacy.

        And yeah, it’s complicated, but it’s fast for power users. Maybe it’s no frills design makes it appear more complicated and as a other comment states, maybe there’s a way to uncomplicate it (but I totally understand if you don’t want to use it)

        Zero mentions of rust or that cosmic is engineered from the ground up.

        And ofc, absolutely no links to any explanation about cosmic.

        I’d give it a 6/10 for an update blog. Rule 1 is to always assume this is someone’s first encounter with your blog
