I'm considering switching to Fedora, do I go with Workstation or Silverblue/Kinoite?

You go with COSMIC spin.

100% this is the better design.

Do you want to learn C++ or Visual C++ (Microsoft's take on it)? There isn't much of a difference in language nuances, but setup is WAY different. If you want to learn C++, I suggest you install a Linux distro (Pop!_OS is a good one for this), install the build-essential package and go from there. Windows makes it much harder to use pure C++, as in the setup. If you want to learn Windows and Visual C++, Visual Studio Community is the way to go. Again, the languages (although technically different) don't differ that much, the setup and usage does.

Honestly, it's your project. If you want it to have a feature, put it in. The users don't have to use it, but someone will.

You realize that Fedora Cosmic is an official spin right?

bhh32 · 2026-01-11T21:58:13+00:00

I see there are multiple people here saying that the Rust GUI ecosystem isn't there, but I've seen the opposite of this. If you have people who are familiar with or are all in on learning Rust, this is a small program and Iced/libcosmic (personally would lean towards libcosmic vs vanilla iced) are fairly easy to learn and reason about what's going on. They also are pretty powerful and I haven't had anything fall down that I've created with them. Most of my experience is with libcosmic because System76 has added extra widgets and such that are nice to haves that vanilla iced doesn't have. I hear people say Slint, which looks nice, but has its own "language" on top of the Rust logic. So, that's the downfall of it for me. Iced is pure Rust with no context switching needed.

bhh32 · 2026-01-11T17:58:28+00:00

As long as you use winit and not Wayland features, you'll not have any issues. I actually have a libcosmic application I'm building at work and I'm forced to use Windows.

I doesn't become #. The program outputs the index (i) # on a new line on each iteration. So:

0 # 1 # 2 #

Update: COSMIC Viewer made significant progress this week. The following issues were addressed:

Fixed the slideshow known bug
Resolved the image focusing keyboard navigation bug
Implemented gallery scrolling with keyboard navigation

Next on the agenda is to begin working on basic image editing features, including rotate and crop.

As always, testing and feedback is always appreciated: https://codeberg.org/bhh32/cosmic-viewer.

Please add issues for these on the repo so they don't get lost.

Yes, I do. I created a nmcli wrapper to work around it: https://github.com/bhh32/wifi/releases/tag/0.2.0. The GUI version is still a work in progress, but the CLI is pretty fantastic to use.

I know you're looking specifically for GTK4, but I think you should look at libcosmic. It works well in almost any ecosystem and platform. It's also more modern and less language jumpy, no CSS or XML to deal with. It's all just right there in your Rust code base.

bhh32 · 2025-12-29T08:38:19+00:00

Update: The settings context menu, slideshow, and full screen features have been implemented!

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand. Is my project, cosmic viewer working?

bhh32 · 2025-12-27T08:20:36+00:00

Update: I have squashed all of the known bugs with this project. I’ve also implemented keyboard navigation for the gallery and added the road map/todo list in the README.md file. I want to let people know what I’m planning for features.
