On: Cosmic: A New Desktop Environment

[dartharva]

I wish ChromeOS's desktop environment gets ported and reimplemented across mainstream Linux and we're all freed from the GNOME/KDE GTK/Qt hell. It's just sad that Google's Linuxes (Android and ChromeOS) can do things like HDR, VRR, decent fractional scaling, decent font rendering, etc. but desktop Linux is still starved for these things to this day.

Given Google's backdoor in Chromium (to ping google servers), I don't trust they would do anything different with their OS.

Eventually it'd become a liability for any linux user knowingly or not.

Isn't that because the hardware providers make it work?

I doubt that ChromeOS would have the same features if it were just a distro to install on unspecific hardware.

You mean like ChromeOS flex?
