The new tiling looks very nice. I love it .

New tiling looks great!

Congrats on another step! Tiling has become my favorite feature of pop os, and (for me) the key thing that separates it from other distros. Moving a whole stack at once is something I’ve been wanting, so I’m glad to see that as one of the new features!

Thanks for these updates. Everytime there’s news about COSMIC’s progress we can see it making strides. Tiling is something that’s become my go-to feature while working. It’s why I stay on Pop!

This looks really good. I dont use tiling enough on pop. Did system76 ever release the results of their user survey? I know they planned on using the results to guide development priorities. I am assuming tiling was a popular request. It wouldn’t have been my first choice, but it looks good.

I’m mostly excited about the rapid progress of cosmic. I am looking forward to its release.

This is all really exciting! Can’t wait for this to be released. The settings page is coming along nicely too.

The tiling redesign looks interesting.

My tiling needs are very, very, modest, so I’m mostly happy with the new built-in one in KDE and never really took the time to learn Pop OS tiling. Seems like I’ll have to give it another go when Cosmic is released for more general testing.

These changes look great! I totally agree with the decision to make the tiling non-modal. I can’t wait to try out the alpha!

Sorry to bother, but quick question. If someone wants to write an application with COSMIC’s look, uses libcosmic as opposed to iced?

Not having a separate mode seems like a good idea. Now I wish there is an easy way to retain relative positions and sizes of applications on a specific virtual desktop. Great work team, looking forward to more cosmic!

It’s taking some effort to get used to after years of using the extension, but the design makes sense. Love the stacks icon. Will there eventually be a shortcut to move a whole stack with keyboard?

@soller@lemmy.world I suspect I know the answer already, but is there any plan that the Pop! Shop will be replaced when the new Pop! Cosmic DE ISO is built? I know the current Pop! Shop was based on the Elementary package manager, so I’m hoping there are plans for a change.

This looks glorious! I know it’s Pop!_OS, but with all this functionality, Cosmic would actually live up to the name “Windows”, unlike the product actually named Windows. Cosmic is a cooler name anyway :)

As a single screen user, I am really happy to see all these features. Any chance there will be a way to pin arbitrary windows on top, hide the chrome etc? Most of the time the apps I want pinned already include such features, but sometimes they don’t and it’s annoying.

I have been playing with the pre-alpha for months and was recently pleasantly surprised by the new Shift + Super + Arrows for moving windows. Way more intuitive experience and looks good too! Haven’t tried with the new stacking yet, but since it is my favorite feature for my laptop, I’m very excited to play with it.

This looks great! Is there some issue tracker to follow, or is it too early for that? I’m personally really interested in the ‘Remember layout from previous session/screen setup’ feature, but I realize that might be something for later :)
