That’s very nice to hear. So it’ll be easy to get up and running with Cosmic even if I’m on a different distribution?

One huge thing I don't understand about Flatpak is how, like the article says, everything is shoved into GitHub. Why? What is the rationale behind making each application its own repository just to store a couple modules and a YAML file?

I do like Flatpak though. It works for what I use it for, and it does a good job at keeping the applications I install through it separate from my system, so I can be sure that my package manager isn't going to brick everything with an update (not like that has ever happened though).

I wish that it could just be as easy as running a few Cargo commands. Though, I have not taken a look at how the project is made/programmed or anything. I wish it could be as simple as

  • Install deps
  • cargo build
  • cargo install (or similar command)

I have two Brother printers at home that worked perfectly, out of the box. All I had to do was install and enable CUPS, which AFAIK should be done on a number of mainstream distros already. You really can't go wrong with Brother on Linux.

I'm excited to see it, not to use it. I'm much happier with GNOME or Sway on Fedora. Unless they provide a way to use it on other distros (which I don't see happening, since they have no reason to), I don't plan on trying it. However, I am excited to see the Rust GUI situation improve by them using it!
