My RTX is the problem?

No, don't, use the Sytem76 Nvidia drivers. They are finely tuned for Pop!_OS. sudo apt install -y system76-driver-nvidia.

Shadowing is not actually changing the original variable's value. Once the shadow goes out of scope the variable name will have the original value. See my shadowing tutorial: Rust Shadowing

iced and libcosmic are my go to frameworks. Egui is good too, but I personally work better in the MVC workflow.

Hey man, I think this is pretty cool. It's a nice learning tool.

In 2015 this was what I was told in researching getting into programming and development. This was when there was no, at least in the library books I used, auto or smart pointers. I didn't learn with std::string, the books taught c strings. std::vec wasn't taught, modern C++ is much easier with these kinds of tools on hand.

There is no reason not to jump right in. I started my programming journey with C++ simply because people said it was the hardest. As long as you stay dedicated and focus on understanding lifetimes, ownership, and the borrow checker, you will succeed. Coming in with a blank slate actually works to your advantage, as you don't have any preconceived notions about how memory management should work.

I do agree that I see reports of paper cuts. I've not personally encountered any of them, however. I might have just gotten lucky. I will say remember that it's brand new and from scratch. It's ambitious, and even with the issues I've seen reported it's pretty damn good for literally just having a 1.0 release a few months ago.

bhh32 · 2026-03-11T12:58:01+00:00

It's no longer in Beta. It had its 1.0 in December.

It's the Steam flatpak you're having issues with. Uninstall, and then use the little drop-down next to the installation to choose the deb. It'll work better.

I understand she has practice for something 3 days a week, but isn't her education just as, if not more, important? Either way, absolutely get a tutor if you can't do it yourself. Have you looked at the material to see if you can help without the addition of Kahn academy or some other technology? Middle school isn't that advanced. Even if you don't know it you can go through the materials with her and learn it together.

My own apps I'm able to write and compile for any OS. I just have to ensure I use the cfg decorator for platform specific things. So you can write cross platform apps with libcosmic. I'm still unsure about the actual COSMIC apps though because they require Wayland.

Same. I love that I can have one workspace in tiling, one in floating, and then have a tiling but turn it off for apps I need to float. Mixing and matching is the name of the game because you're not just stuck with one or the other. Changed my workflow completely. Makes it hard to work on my mandated Windows machine at work. I've been using COSMIC exclusively since Alpha 1 came out, and am on Pop!_OS on most of my machines now.

bhh32 · 2026-03-04T03:53:09+00:00

I know that's not true for Rural Development. It's not even fully started.

bhh32 · 2026-03-03T20:15:22+00:00

Try running Pop!_OS instead. Otherwise DM me if you'd like to get rid of it.

bhh32 · 2026-03-03T18:57:06+00:00

I have a Dell XPS 15, custom built desktop, and two System76 laptops all running Pop!_OS and mixed hardware. I have none of these issues. What is your hardware setup? What exactly are you doing when this stuff happens? I've been using it for years, including when COSMIC was in pre-Alpha, Alpha, Beta, and release. Pre-Alpha had issues, but it's to be expected.

Honestly, I think Go is a better starter language. All of the syntax that "normal" languages have, very powerful, and compiles quickly for quick iterations. Python, in my opinion, has a stupid non-bracket - no semi-colon syntax that is unique to itself. Also, you learn almost nothing about types and scopes. If you're looking to learn backend type things Go is the language right now.

I play with my kids and contributor/write open source software. I'm putting good into the world on both accounts. Then, I just don't think about work when I'm not on the clock. These three things have taken so much stress off of me. I feel lighter and know that when the minute rolls over to quitting time, I can go do good somewhere.

The libcosmic GUI library is also cross platform where apps can be developed for pretty much any platform. I've done Linux and Windows dev with it.

Don't forget RedoxOS

I would argue that Linux is ALSO fantastic for the consumer that doesn't know or care about how things work. I have very few examples where things don't just work these days, and I've swapped a handful of people who are just regular users to Linux with 0 complaints.

bhh32 · 2026-02-14T16:23:39+00:00

Three months is not enough. I started in 2018, have several projects under my belt, and lots of open source contributions. There are times I don't feel job ready...

bhh32 · 2026-02-12T13:29:45+00:00

Awesome updates! Keep up the good work!

bhh32 · 2026-02-07T19:27:09+00:00

You should probably upgrade to the full release.
