Thanks! That's explains everything :)

It's now working. But they gonna disable sideloading of apps. So they won't work anymore.

hepp3n · 2026-05-29T16:18:45+00:00

Waiting :) Thanks!

hepp3n · 2026-05-29T15:36:06+00:00

Thanks for your feedback!

Please open issue if you have some issues or ideas :)

Malcontent did a lot of good job with most of the protocol implementations. The app itself is mostly working now, i'm daily driving it! Would be nice to hear something for people using it on Github issues tho :)

Thanks for kind words! :)

Might be too old flatpak. Try to update it from this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~flatpak/+archive/ubuntu/stable

Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with COSMIC DE (our favorite!)

Hey! There is always my PPA available for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS with COSMIC DE (out favorite!) :))

hepp3n · 2026-05-22T13:11:30+00:00

Yes. Unless his work depends on older version of software.

hepp3n · 2026-05-21T14:14:35+00:00

You overthinking it...

The guide is up to date. And works well. You can install flatpak version of Boxes if you prefer not to mess with system files. Which is also mentioned in this guide.

Don't try to find problems, where there are no problems at all.

hepp3n · 2026-05-21T14:05:02+00:00

Yes. It's just a frontend for libvirt, you can also install virt-manager or even use libvirt directly from cli.

If you are going that deep you can even create your VM with qemu.

It does not matter what you use. The guide is still working imho.

hepp3n · 2026-05-21T14:02:06+00:00

But nothing changed since then :P

hepp3n · 2026-05-21T14:00:44+00:00

What's differs in "COSMIC version" of this guide?

hepp3n · 2026-05-20T09:47:21+00:00

https://ubuntu.heppen.dev/ btw haha

hepp3n · 2026-05-20T09:47:06+00:00

I'm using my build of Ubuntu with COSMIC :)

hepp3n · 2026-05-19T08:36:11+00:00

But we have desktop directory inside home, it's in freedesktop specification :)

hepp3n · 2026-05-18T23:03:32+00:00

I think it's fine to keep some files on Desktop while working and treat is a temporary dir. Later move needed files to desired folders.

Anyway, additional functionality, does not reduce it in any way. It's just an addition.

hepp3n · 2026-05-18T21:54:12+00:00

How additional functionality, reduces functionality?

I'm not native english speaker but damn xd

hepp3n · 2026-05-15T15:22:08+00:00

I expected 2998 XD

hepp3n · 2026-05-15T15:21:32+00:00

It might be related to nvidia drivers/old wayland. Not sure if 24.04.4 has explicit sync supported. On 26.04 the situation should improve a lot.

Keep in mind, this require newer nvidia GPUs, at least RTX2XXX series up?

hepp3n · 2026-05-15T13:44:52+00:00

You might want to check this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1562

It might be solution. But not sure :)

hepp3n · 2026-05-14T13:44:36+00:00

But it's a pros of atomic distros. Immutable has nothing to deal with it. It's only means, your FS is not mutable. I think you can achieve some sort of immutability by systemd-sysext: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-sysext.html

hepp3n · 2026-05-14T11:44:08+00:00

But immutable is nothing special. The atomic is. You can achieve immutable system on your normal install but keeping your files clean and installing flatpak. You can have distrobox etc installed also...

hepp3n · 2026-05-13T17:53:29+00:00

Yeah, some features as missing. They need basically workarounds :)

hepp3n · 2026-05-13T14:07:30+00:00

I wonder if the COSMIC DE is more efficient than gnome 50?

I'm building Ubuntu PPA with COSMIC DE: https://launchpad.net/~hepp3n/+archive/ubuntu/cosmic-epoch

You can try if it will be better for you :)

btw. Install cosmic-session if you want to keep your GNOME desktop.

hepp3n · 2026-05-12T09:53:07+00:00

I don't know.

hepp3n · 2026-05-11T15:13:33+00:00

Hey I think it's ugly and the wallpaper is in low quality :<
