  • The coalition from last two terms is basically the same (left + far left). For example Junqueras (ERC) was pardonned by the current government and Puidgemont (Junts) was part of the global pardon during the second term. Judges are not controlled by the government, that’s why there is still some aftermath, but it should be applied within the global pardon.

    Also, the reality is that the global pursue of independence have fallen below majority (polls done by previous ERC government) and with a current Catalan president from socialists (part of spanish left) after the elections …



  • Plenty of my family use linux (with gnome) because of me, but with Linux always the biggest issue is they don’t know how to install an operative system (1. Create usb,2. boot in it,3. install it) As easy it is, non-tech people are always are afraid of doing it, even partition is not a general concept.

    The second biggest issue with gnome without dash to panel is too alien for them, they need to see what applications are open (me too…), the app menu is ok, they have phones.







  • Well, basque indepence movement involved several deaths, including “civilians”, non politics or police related until 2000s, and people react quite pacific always.

    Whereas catalan movement is basically pacifist with some roadblocks and protests and some riots. In front, the typical anti riot police, not fun… but kind of expected.

    Honestly, I will be not surprised if this case ends in nothing as it is not clear it can hold in court …


  • Legacy apps have problems in windows also, I guess in MacOS now basically you are not able to run them, but 3 years ago I remember same issues with old apps, blurry or pixelated…

    The main issue is gnome not letting apps to scale themselves, whereas kde has just a toggle for that. So in gnome you have consistent size across monitors (cool) but blurry apps when running in xwayland (horrible)


  • Xwayland apps (running in legacy xorg) are extremely blurry under fractional scaling, native wayland apps can have worse rendering but not very noticeable.

    The easiest way of checking if you have doubts is install xeyes and launch it. if xeyes follows the cursor inside the app you are tesing is in xwayland, if not is pure wayland.

    Electron apps have to be configured to use wayland, whereas If you are in Debian check Firefox (ESR) is using wayland or install it through the offical deb repo of mozilla the latest. I think in the archwiki are the envronment variables to check.

    And, for 125% maybe is just worth to you to just scale text to 1.20 using gnome-tweaks and leave it at 100% the scaling. It is not fancy, but it works. I have to use 150% so is too obvious/ugly to just scale the fonts…








  • It is looking very promising. I was a bit skeptic at first, but everything is looking quite polished. I am wondering, Will the terminal have support for images, in similar way to kitty or iterm2? And also another thing, Will the file manager has a three pane view? (macos finder, or ranger (tui) style)

    I know those two things are missing from gnome equivalents, and are quite handful for productivity, at least for me. Being more advance than gnome, but simpler than KDE would make COSMIC appealing for a lot of people I think.
