A Week in Cosmic on BARE METAL!
I spent a full 7 days working the day job and playing around in the new Cosmic desktop from System76's Pop!_OS.
Some things I forgot to mention in the video:
- Would like to have a pywal type effect that would change the accent and active hint colors to match the current wallpaper.
- Im using 2 GB of ram at idle. During my normal workday with 3 browsers, 6-9 tabs open and the occasional Libreoffice sheet open. Ram was typically around 5-6 GB avg with one peak that I noticed was up to 10 GB when I also had a vm running for a short while. These are nearly the same that I get with Pop shell (gnome version) on the same machine.
- Multi monitor on Cosmic is a dream come true. This is the proper way for a DE to implement tiling window features. Not this convoluted crap that Gnome and KDE did. Its obvious that the Cosmic devs are true tiling window manager fans. This is 100% AWESOME! A user wants to take advantage of multiple desktops. Most will use 1 or 2 windows per desktop. Cosmic makes me think of what you would get if i3/bspwm and gnome had a baby.

Pop!_OS Cosmic Desktop
Although it's still in an alpha phase Pop!_OS's Cosmic desktop is very near time to release to beta. It seems to be stable enough to use for an average computer user. I wouldnt suggest it for a power user. I take you on a tour of what they have got finished and what they have left to do.
Its close enough that I am going to challenge myself to use it for a week during the day job. Check back on Sunday 5/03 for the results of my Cosmic challenge.
Full instructions to install it can be found:

How to Remove Snaps from Ubuntu 24.04
**LANGUAGE WARNING**
I dropped the F bomb a couple of times. If that offends you move on to some other video.
You all totally missed the point of my last video. You were thinking I was praising snaps. I was not. I said a lot of the hate that snaps get is not true and the vast majority of Ubuntu's users do not care about snaps. In this video I explain how you missed the point and why.
I also explain how easy it is to remove snaps entirely if you feel you must use Ubuntu but hate snaps.
Of course, obviously easiest solution is to just use a different distro that doesnt have snap. But if you do that, then what would you have to complain about?
Commands from the video:
snap list
sudo snap remove --purge snap-name
Do these last
sudo snap remove --purge snapd
sudo apt remove --autoremove snapd
Then block snapd by creating a file at /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref Use what ever text editor you lke. Im using vim.
sudo vim /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref
Add this to that file:
# To prevent repository packages from triggering the installation of snap,
# this file forbids snapd from being installed by APT.
Package: snapd
Pin: release a=*
Pin-Priority: -10

Average User's POV: Ubuntu 24.04
I go through the beta Ubuntu 24.04 from an average user's pov. I show that a lot of the "hate" that was thrown at Ubuntu is unfounded and mostly people just hating on Ubuntu because its the "cool" thing to do.
Get the beta at https://releases.ubuntu.com

ZorinOS Pro - The rumors are true!
Since 2010 when I got into Linux I've heard about ZorinOS. I never tried it until 3 months ago. Are any of the rumors about it true? Is it really the best distro for new users and seasoned pro's? The Core version is free to install and use. Is the Pro version really worth the price they ask?
Theres only one way to find out. Lets give it a try and a review.
Check it out at https://zorin.com

2 Fat Guys - Music, Morons & Weed
Tonight John & I went over a little about our histories and back stories. Then we moved into talking more about our former band and even play a special unreleased song from their EP thats in production. Then the conversation took a drastic turn into the world of weed and a cool little mobile app to help you find it, legally. Check the laws where you live. Weed may not be legal for you. Luckily for us, it is where we are.
