I think he wasn’t hit by a bullet but by shrapnel from something else that was hit. It’ probably superficial.
They dix not build the compositor from scratch, they built it on top of smithay, a library similar to wlroots but written in Rust.
I don’t know if you’ve actually tried to use GTK or QT, but it’s insanely painful. There is a reason almost all apps are written in Electron. Native GUI toolkits suck. If they had used GTK they would have still had an outdated and hard to maintain toolkit, and to deal with Gnome politics. Using GTK was actually the initial idea.
If we want Linux Desktop to succeed, at some point we have to build tools that people want to use. I’m glad they’re doing it.
The post specifically mentioned POIs, and as far as I have tested (in France at least), Magic Earth has the same incomplete/missing POI database as organic maps, coming from OSM.
But they don’t have more data than organic maps since they’re using OSM too.
I wasn’t thinking about applets but more about full-blown libcosmic applications.
Gnome Circle bas a lot of very simple apps that do just 1 thing and weight a couple MB each at worst.
With iced such an ecosystem would be at 20MB per app, so simple " don’t 1 thing and do it right" apps would be less scalable. And I doubt you would want to have all of gnome circle as a multicall binary.
It looks like I was right: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-applets/pull/282
20MB for every simple application is a lot, and multical binaries won’t be an option for third party developers.
This is still worth the much better DX of using Rust though.

In France it’s legally a bike only if the electric assistance stops once you reach 25 km/h. Anything where the motor can go higher than that (or even something where the motor can push when you’re not pedaling) is considered to be a light scooter and therefore need a license plate and can’t go on bicycle paths.
I thinks it’s pretty fair. The only issue is that some sellers advertise those little scooters as electric bikes so some people use them without being aware they’re illegal.

Is there any plan to have something similar to the Gnome Circle apps for Cosmic? It’d be nice to encourage building a full ecosystem of app with libcosmic that can rival the apps of KDE/Gnome.
This is not relevant to this specific post but does anyone know how if the static linking used in Rust is an issue with cosmic?
The last time I tried building a small app with Iced it was pretty bing (20MB) even though it didn’t do much. On the other hand a GTK app in rust easily fits within 5MB.
Anyway I’m thrilled to try cosmic out as soon as it reached the Arch repos.
Why is helix there then?
I love flatpaks and flathub. They’re amazing for GUI apps, though there are still a couple of wrinkles that needs to be ironed out.
I would really love if it was better with regards to cli apps and developer tooling though. As someone that uses a lot of TUI apps that seriously limit how much I can use flatpak.
For dôme reason it’s broken for me. I had to open it in nightly for reader mode to work.
Unreadable on mobile…
Oh, I see what you mean. I thought you meant using your phone as a trackpad sorry
