COSMIC: More Alpha, More Fun!

COSMIC Apps, Timeline expectations, and checking features off our list.

I'm honestly looking forward to COSMIC Files.

I think Nautlius looks really nice, but it feels so limited. Dolphin got basically all the functionality I need, but it looks... meh.

Is a terminal toggle like Dolphin got (with F4) on the road map? Or will it be extendable so that features like that could be added by others?

Is the full Cosmic release still going to be based on Ubuntu? Or changing to Debian?

I switched to Linux 4 months ago, and now 3 household PCs are running Pop!

Yes, Ubuntu.

It would be great if there was an option to choose if you want to open an application in tiling or floating mode dynamically when you click on the icon. E.g. floating by default and middle mouse button click for tiling or the other way around.

My workflow would be: Everything floating by default, so that when I am programming something and type "cargo run" it opens in a floating window on top of the terminal instead of splitting it in half. Middle click to open something in tiling mode when I actually want to tile it. Ctrl + left click to open a new instance of an application in floating mode. Ctrl + middle click to open a new instance of a window in tiling mode.

For me that would be way better than setting it per workspace.
