Tomorrow's news: "50k Linux nerds across the world were found dead of alcohol poisoning. Security researchers say to expect major problems across the IT space, and three major waifu body pillow manufacturers have already announced layoffs due to a loss to their core customer base."

Ah, Compiz memories...

COSMIC Epoch has earned its spot as my Wayland DE of choice for the foreseeable. I'm 48 hours in on running it on Arch, and it's way more functional and stable than I was expecting for an alpha release, with better multi-monitor support than I have ever had on Linux. Feels like they learned a lot from Plasma 6 in terms of what not to do in terms of keeping things flexible for multiple workflows while not burying the user in layer upon layer of confusing config. I haven't tiled on my workstation since Windows 3.1, and so far I love COSMIC's flexible hybrid approach (complete with a dock applet that lets you swap settings and reminds you of the keyboard shortcuts). Pantheon will always be my bae, and Wayland-first elementary 8 should be out in the next few weeks, but I gotta be honest—if they don't adopt the COSMIC tiler, I'm not sure I'll be switching back. That said: it's pretty funny how bad some mainstream software (GIMP, JetBrains) still is on Wayland.

@FlanPoirot Today I learned! I though it was the release codename (I'd seen references to "Epoch 2" scheduled for some time in 2025)

I've had such a hard time finding a DM that works with my sessions. LightDM doesn't work with COSMIC (or GNOME), ly doesn't work with Pantheon. GDM is so far the only one that works with everything, which is annoying, because it is not a good DM in terms of multi-monitor, ease of configuration or just general UX.

@cameronbosch1213 I stopped looking once GDM worked. I'm not a fan of KDE's general aesthetic, but TIL that SDDM isn't actually a Qt/KDE project, so I should try it.
