yeap, after searching the mailing list, I'm of course not the first one to come up with this idea @cas

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231009-caleb-notch-example-v1-1-9e0a43ae233c@linaro.org/

Just had maybe a good idea for once?

Why aren't display notches described in the device tree for the panel? Especially with xdg-cutouts being worked on, being able to reference a devicetree property to know the panel's cutouts would be a nice standard way to reach that info.

Can't wait for #postmarketos to feel daily drivable for me #linux #mobile

Tokodon and NeoChat are probably some of the closest apps I have to having a proper mobile experience, so kudos!

(Wish that zed worked on here, but I think it needs glibc)

Related to Zed owning all the code in the repo, the EULA for the editor is pretty crazy for an open source project. Read: term-limited license, cannot decompile, disassemble or attempt to learn the source code underlying the editor, Zed making "certain versions" of the Editor available at the zed github. It feels just as bad as VSCode with this kind of crap.

It really feels like they're trying to be open source only as long as it's convenient for them.

With all that in mind, if anyone has any other editors I should try out, I’m all ears 😌

(2/2)
Helix: Best collaborative project (not owned by one group, and immune to license changes (no CLA)), but I can’t get in the mindset of modal editing. Feels easy to contribute to though, and that matters a lot to me.

Kate: KDE FTW, but also LSP support is just ok, and I’ve ran into many hiccups with my expected workflow.

Lapce: Not immune to license changes (Apache-2.0), but no CLA, so that’s nice. Looks like vscode, but has a long way to go to be actually stable.

A summary of my likes and gripes with code editors I’ve tried (1/2):

VSCode: Best UX, but owned by Microsoft, and proprietary (code-oss doesn’t have access to everything). Also copilot shoved down my throat and telemetry and copilot are bundled in the oss version as well. CLA required to contribute.

Zed: Fine, but not immune to license changes as zed industries owns all the code in the repo (CLA required to contribute). Also big on AI and UI still feels a little clunky.

Scrolling through the list of all the #SCaLE22x speakers, bookmarking ones I would like to look into later, and it felt like there were a lot more talks related to #nix and #nixos than anything else. Maybe I just kept seeing it after I noticed it, but it feels like nix might be much more popular than I thought.

Also a reminder that if you'd like to get involved, or just lurk, please join the Fedora COSMIC matrix chat!

The Fedora COSMIC spin has been accepted by FESCo for Fedora 42!

https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3312

It's exciting having something you've worked on for almost a year start coming to fruition officially.

There's still plenty of outstanding work to make this happen, but I'm determined to get it done!

If you'd like to see COSMIC reach Fedora 41 quicker, make sure to test it and leave feedback at the bodhi link I posted up there!

Friday #fedora #COSMIC update:

All the COSMIC packages are APPROVED! It's been just over a 6 month long journey, even longer if you count me working on the packages pre-review.

Everything should be available in Fedora 42, and is coming soon to Fedora 41, see https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-f142c96f6f

The next step is creating comp groups for Fedora COSMIC, and then proposing a spin! Exciting times

Tuesday #cosmic #fedora update:

New packages:

- pop-launcher
- cosmic-launcher
- cosmic-session

Remaining:

- cosmic-term, it should be ready, just needs the final review!

We're in very good shape, and now you should be able to see the cosmic packages in Fedora 42!

Fedora 41 is coming too, if you'd like to help accelerate the release of these packages go test them at https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-f142c96f6f

Updated #cosmic package reviews for #fedora . I think we're getting pretty close to upstreaming the packages from my copr!

The #rust #linux kernel drama is showing to me how a lot of people don't know much about rust if at all, and will still speak confidently about it.

On the other hand, it also reminds me how little I know about kernel development, and about the social intricacies surrounding it.

Thank you everyone for making Fedora 40 and the release party possible! Here are the slides for my talk on "Fedora + Cosmic" https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VLIsgC9Pz7a8fj3j8eXcTbb6Ddk4RCw1Xcy59S4JJtI/edit?usp=sharing

COSMIC looks great with Fedora 40's default background! #fedora #cosmic #linux

Just a summary of who I am, my name is Ryan, and I work on various Linux projects in my free time. Most notably I’ve been contributing independently to the #cosmic desktop environment, as well as managing the #fedora COSMIC SIG.

I also do random other projects in my free time - for example, a daemon to register desktop entries (https://github.com/ryanabx/desktop-entry-daemon) and a way to run flatpaks in a portable manner (https://github.com/linux-packaging-rs/flatpak-ext)

I simply enjoy making things :)
