thank you, that's alright if it is on the issue board. I was wondering if the Cosmic Team was aware of it and planning to add it in the future.. Look like it is in good hands

I understand cosmic-comp is unique. My question is: on current pop os, I don't need to enable 3d acceleration, so in the upcoming pop os (with cosmic-comp), will it work the same way..?

I want to avoid using 3d acceleration, because whenever I enable it, my system will get hot and fan will spin regardless of workload

@savvynik are you running it on actual hardware or virtual machine?

but I don't have to do that for current Pop release... (22.04)

why is it pinging the github server every minute??

yes, but is there a way I can use it on vm wihtout gpu acceleration, basically only virtio on qemu

I run it as live usb, looking good. ANy plan to allow us to run on vm? I don't have a spare laptop I can use for testing..thank you

that is a good point... I obviously missed that. my generally would only use flatpak from the same developer of the app, or I will just use the deb packaged by my distro.

actually there is difference in version between the two. deb by my distro is in 4.0.0 (mar, 2022) while flatpak is 5.0.0 (nov, 2024)

i am not sure which one is the native version... you mean the version packaged by the distro (deb) or the developer (flatpak)?

for the media player, quoted from mmstick (phoronix.com)

A video player is probably the easiest app to implement because it's based on the iced video player widget. It's just a matter of porting it to COSMIC. And there's no reason not to add a video player to the core lineup if it can be done. Every OS has a default system video player.

Can we have virtio support please?
