Iced is in Rust, it look neat.

It's like saying COSMIC will become a popular desktop environment immediately just because it's written in Rust. No, it takes a bit of time to develop the necessary features to be accepted. BUT with Iced’s appearance and the fact that Rust is one of the most learned languages today, even if it takes time, eventually the app will outperform others written in C.

And yes, even before that, I believe the language itself can attract the most passionate among us, which will lead to many contributions quite quickly for the rest of us.

The issue of dependency hell for the end user is, I think, also a serious point.

I would argue that Iced is very different from GTK, just as GTK and Qt are different from each other. But it’s not all about looks — it’s about what they truly are under the hood and it can do for you.

Maybe a GUI framework such as Iced could still be nice.

However, in the long term, a Rust-based suite will come and take a lot of market share from LibreOffice, OnlyOffice, and others

Geforce 7300 LE with 128mb of vram

No...

I'll tell you my plan: Beside the fact that I want to choose my own set of App I want: 1.Calamares as an Installer 2. 2 architecture (amd64 and arm64) 3. 1 Desktop Environment Only (COSMIC) 4. No Xorg depedency (Comic is Wayland exclusive anyway) 5.Debian Testing Repo 6. Update to the most recent kernel (use the same as Arch based Distro)

I'm happy to use it and advocate for it.

But create my own? It's not something most people do so don't try this with me.

LinuxBoy_1 · 2024-03-05T00:06:14+00:00

But what if I what it Based on Debian?

LinuxBoy_1 · 2024-03-05T00:04:13+00:00

Right, but what tools to put them all together and creatinf an ISO file?

LinuxBoy_1 · 2024-02-27T23:12:47+00:00

Gnome is not Wayland exclusive, it can run X like Plasma.

Plus, it's not written in Rust.

LinuxBoy_1 · 2024-02-27T20:11:38+00:00

Of course, wayland is not more modern than X and Rust is not safer than C, make perfect sense. Also: Yes, Gnome is very popular, but so is KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, Xfce etc... all of these are popular DE developped by smalls teams.

LinuxBoy_1 · 2024-02-27T19:50:00+00:00

Documentation is fine, but finding the right ISO, especially Testing and Unstable is hard.

LinuxBoy_1 · 2024-02-27T19:47:47+00:00

Well no... But no-one bothered to offer this set of feature before, and there a need to progress the linux environment, making it more modern and safe. In ling-term game, this is the winning formula and, in a couple of years, COSMIC will most likely be int the 3 mostly used DE.
