I’ve been using #cosmic on #popos and off for two years. Verdict is in, I hate it. I’ve off to install another distro or try to make my gnome more vanilla.
Q. “I am blind, and I have been since 2021. I have grown very accustomed to using NVDA on Windows, which is a free open source screen reader. It's great… my question is, does Linux have good support for screen reading software?”
A. “As someone that deals with this on a daily basis: The short answer is 'no' … The best advice I can give you is to not bother investing too much in Linux and keep with Windows, or move to macOS.”
@aral vast bulk of funding goes to server #linux kernel features, which is why the kernel is incredibly robust compared to in particular OSX's kernel. Right now, for example, #Pop_OS is building their new #Cosmic desktop/compositor, with a team of 7 developers. MS, Apple, Google field 10s of thousands, and can assign any group of them to any feature, that's their job.
I'd say if you interact with Linux, desktops, compositors, tools, and go YES!, it's for you. If not, maybe not best fit.
In this one, we have #Mozilla reducing their workforce as they re-focus on #Firefox, India moving to ban #ProtonMail in the whole country, more #Cosmic desktop details as the alpha approaches, and a lot more:
So even tho I am playing Cupid with valentines cards at the moment, I have just completed a lovely commission that was an absolute pleasure to work on!
I’ve been doing some commissions on the sly for a while now but will be opening proper slots around Easter time so if you’re interested sign up to my mailing list to hear when the first ones will be available to book! #commission#art#artist#horror#cosmic#spooky#linocut#print

The search for alien technosignatures has dramatically expanded, thanks to a new experiment involving an alliance between the SETI Institute, Breakthrough Listen and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).
The new project is called COSMIC ("Commensal Open-Source Multimode Interferometer Cluster") and is in operation at the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) of radio telescopes in New Mexico.

So, we have the alpha for the #Cosmic desktop, and for #GNOME 46, we have the release of the kernel 6.7, another entry in the "#Wayland breaks everything" saga, #Mint 21.3, and a SteamOS-based device coming out soon!
Da sich mehr und mehr Teile der neuen Desktop-Umgebung zusammenfügen, ist mit einer Alpha-ISO im Verlauf dieses Jahres zu rechnen. Dafür gibt es eine Roadmap.
