Im surprised you didnt try pop os for the ubuntu test and bazzite for the fedora test. They come out of the box with nvidia and everything just works out of the box.

ah damn that sucks, my usb ports are blue or red (3.1 or 3.2) I guess I'll try to disconnect my hard drive when I'm not using it
Lol thanks, the reason I googled it was because when I connected a hard drive to the usbc port next to the usb2 port that had the usb dongle my mouse would randomly cut off at times. This doesnt happen when its connected via bluetooth so I figured there was like a signal jam occurring from the usb port being next to the usb c port or the fact its a usb2 port.
what downsides does the PDS part have? seems like its a good thing?
Their moderation is only hardcoded in their app. You can stack other moderators on top of theirs or use a third party app to not get any of their moderation. That doesn't seem bad especially for now to prevent spam etc from ruining the experience for users and to prevent people disabling all moderation and making a mess on their servers.
What have they made clear?
Yeah i wish they improved activitypub but maybe competition will cause activitypub to improve. As far as I understand there hasnt been updated features to the protocol since it started and bluesky has some really cool features not available on activitypub (data portability, custom feeds, layers of moderators to choose from)
Some 3rd party apps that already exist are: Graysky, Skeets for Bluesky, Sora, and SkySpaces (the clubhouse version) is still in closed beta. Im sure theres more that I dont know of and some that are still not public like the reddit/lemmy style app. There’s a lot of developers very interested in the protocol and its still extremely early in development. One of the main devs at bluesky is pfrazee who made Beakerbrowser which was a p2p browser on the Dat Protocol back in the day.
Federation on the protocol was opened about 3 weeks ago so its not surprising no other company is using it yet. Theres many users running their own tiny instances and also people working on a Lemmy style app for the protocol and there’s already a Clubhouse type app and a couple different mastodon style apps.
They are touchpads thankfully “Equipped with a Dual Intelligent Touchpad, immerse yourself in seamless gaming with precise touch points and intuitive swipe gestures. Enhance your gaming precision and immersion with native mouse simulation and gyroscope support.”
Ah ok that makes sense. I’m excited to try it! Does 24.04 release on 04 2024?
The Dash To Panel extension adds really convenient things though like being able to open the applications places in the top panel by click Super + 1-9 so it’s not just about having the apps in the top panel but I’m guessing someone will write something similar in COSMIC at some point ☻
The only thing I’m missing from the fediverse is a platform where animations and animators can connect and share their work with the possibility of having it discovered. Pixelfed still isnt in the app stores, peertube is not user friendly and has no official apps, mastodon doesnt have amy kind of upvoting or algorithm or ability to browse lemmy communities, lemmy doesnt have native video support or user follows.
Wow amazing reply thank you! I thought pop used gnome. Will Gnome extensions continue to work once COSMIC replaces gnome? (I just really need the Dash To Panel extension haha)
Would Pop!_OS ever rebrand to CosmicOS?
Its still in closed alpha the developer is in the bluesky pds discord
