Cosmic is... heavy. Idling at ~3.3 GB for the live session on my laptop with 12 available ram G things. GNOME is ~1.5 installed.

Nice so far, I like it. Maybe it can be slimmed down.

I did a quick test on Cosmic DE. It's noticeably heavy on memory. According to wiki, it's written in rust from scratch, but I can see the shadow of GNOME. No idea why every cosmic app is so hungry on memory, but it seems that the DE runs faster/smoother than GNOME. If the cpu/gpu runs cool, I don't mind heavy memory footprint. Use memory to gain speed is normal in programming.

Do share.

I'll have to install it. Maybe in a week, I'm still giving @malm feedback on labwc...

https://github.com/labwc/labwc/issues/3495
https://github.com/labwc/labwc/pull/350 … 4070359242

Anyone, are there move/resize keybinds for labwc? action="move" isn't doing anything as a keybind.

Agreed, the ol' "Unused RAM is wasted RAM." I'm looking forward to installing it.

Counterpoint... "Ubuntu Desktop 26.04 LTS requires a 2 GHz dual-core processor or better, a minimum of 6GB RAM and 25 GB of free hard drive space." Do I need my OS to suck up so much RAM? A wlroots system (labwc/niri/hyprland/sway) can run on 2G RAM hardware.

@PackRat, you've been posting some bangers, nice!

What sort of move? A keybinding that moves the active window 10px in a specified direction?

There are MoveToEdge and MoveRelative

    <keybind key="A-S-Left">
      <action name="MoveRelative">
        <x>-5</x>
        <y>0</y>
      </action>
    </keybind>

    <keybind key="A-Right">
      <action name="MoveToEdge" direction="right" />
    </keybind>

There is also SnapToEdge which is faux tiling

There is a man page - labwc-actions - for info on the various actions. And there should be a /usr/share/doc/labwc/rc.xml.all file for examples.

^ Thanks, I got relative-move keybinds to work. Half and quarter tiling work OOTB. That'll do for now.

PopOS wants over a G for the boot partition and I almost trashed my system resizing it. Not worth it for a heavy, barely stable OS. Goodbye for now, Cosmic.
