I don’t understand what this topic is about…
It is about adding a new desktop environment, named Cosmic https://system76.com/cosmic/, to Fedora as an official supported spin/variant.
I was playing with COSMIC on Fedora since mid-May, or around 3 months before the first alpha. It’s been pretty solid for me though there are still bugs and missing features. I see why they’d want it for F42, but I’m just not sure if System76 can have Epoch 1 released in time for that. They still have Alpha 5 by the end of December, Alpha 6 planned for the end of January, and maybe 2 or 3 betas before release. So We could only have Epoch 1 (first full release) End of March (or even later), which I’d say would leave too little time for extensive testing to meet Fedora’s standards. Just because I’ve barely had issues on my fairly standard setup doesn’t mean that others haven’t been plagued by issues. So my take on it is I want it to happen, but I’m not sure if it can happen for F42, so maybe the contingency plan to delay to F43 might be a better idea, but ultimately only time will tell.
Universal Blue already beat y’all to it.
I love how much the community has embraced Atomic. Bazzite is making a huge splash.
Their ISOs are uninstallable. I wanted to test it, will need to to a #silverblue install and rebase… which #uBlue doesnt document ANYWHERE
They have a guide on how to install their base images by rebasing here. If that is what you are looking for :).
Yeah, I should have mentioned that it’s not production ready or released to the public. They’re quietly building it on whatever schedule they have so that when Cosmic is complete, they’ll already have something to offer everyone.
ETA: I just happened to discover it when I was poking around their GitHub repositories. It’s not documented for a reason 😅
I tried the ublue image, when it wasnt under the ublue name yet. Worked pretty great, I will test the current state soon!
