General impressions:

Cosmic works, feels really nice, but does not look beautiful (missing animations, no theming for qt/gtk, visual bugs, etc.).

Also some bugs, and settings that are either missing from GUI, or janky, or exist because of junkiness instead of being intended.

I'll actually try using it as daily driver, though I would probably need to do some manual QT/GTK theming.

@untsuki i haven't tried that, but from what i have seen it looks quite GNOME-esque.

@getimiskon It is, but, like, in less annoying way, since it basically recreates Pop_OS!'s GNOME+Extensions workflow without GNOME.

But also it has more customization options, and they are more Cinnamon-esque than anything.

And also, it's still an "Alpha" version, basically for early testers, but it seems for System76 "Alpha" means what KDE devs would call a "release candidate" nko3c

@untsuki so, Cinnamon-esque with the look of GNOME. Not a bad idea.

@getimiskon It has it's own stuff too, like built-in tiling mode, and their own apps with a small menubar they put in a GNOME-like titlebar.

Honestly, it looks like an almost-perfect fit for me, as I am a fan of tiling inside of an actual DE, and this has it well-integrated with both keyboard and mouse controls. cirno_comfy

About this instance

This is an instance based on Akkoma. It's one of the services that comprises the "Fediverse", a network of federated services like Mastodon, Misskey and others. For more information about the Fediverse, you can check out fediverse.party.

The instance is being run by getimiskon and it's a part of their services.

In order to keep the instance sustainable for as long as possible as well as to make easier to deal with moderation, we don't have open registrations. But feel free to ask for an invite.

Important: Some blocklists for ad blocking add-ons may cause issues, like hiding the "Follow" button. It's understandable that you may not want to disable your ad blocker, but make sure to configure it for this instance. This instance does not rely on ads and it will never be.


Rules

The following rules apply on this instance:

  • Don't spam

  • Don't harass anyone inside and outside this instance

  • Don't dox any user (sharing personal information without their consent)

  • Tag NSFW (not safe for work) content accordingly

  • Don't upload any material that includes minors (SFW or not)

  • Avoid posting anything illegal, specifically illegal in Germany, as the server is being hosted there

  • Sexism, racism, fascism and nazism are not welcome here

  • Boosted content is being treated like posts. Don't boost content that breaks this instance's rules

Non-compliance with these rules may result to the termination of your account


Federation Policy

We generally don't want to block instances. Because of the decentralized nature of the Fediverse, there might be content from other instances that don't comply with our rules and might be displayed at the "Known Network" tab. We may remove instances that host those posts from that tab. You will still be able to communicate with people from these instances if you want to.

We may block some instances for the following reasons:

  • Promote fascism, nazism, racism etc.
  • Host NSFW content including minors
  • Instances that are run by corporations who don't support Free Software
  • Instances that cause problems to our users

We also don't block instances for the following reasons:

  • Federation with instances we disagree with
  • Personal issues with the owners of other instances
  • Because a blocklist maintainer told us to do so

If there are any issues or mistakes that we should be aware of, feel free to contact the admin of this instance.


Support

While the server is free to use, unfortunately hosting it is not. In order to continue running it and our services, as well as improving them, support is needed by its users.

You can support the instance and all the services by donating at Liberapay. Keep in mind that donations at Liberapay are recurring, so if you plan to do a one-time donation, it may not be the best option for you.

For more information about supporting this instance, contact the admin.
