       I spent almost 5 hours experimenting with Cosmic DE on Fedora. Afterward, I reverted to my reliable @gnome setup.Here are the issues I encountered: (1/4)#gnome #fedora #linux #system76 #foss #hyperland #wayland #gamingonlinux

       1. The Apps Drawer felt laggy when scrolling.2. I had to build the Clipboard Manager myself, and even then, there was no keyboard shortcut to open it from the Panel or Topbar.3. The final straw was when I tried to play War Thunder; the game didn't open in full screen. Although the Dock and Panel were hidden automatically, the title bar remained, displaying "War Thunder (Vulkan)."4. There were no mouse gestures or touchpad gestures available.Why I wanted to switch from GNOME: (2/4)

       I was looking to try something more customizable and reliable. GNOME often crashes when I play a video in the Vivaldi browser, although I rarely face this issue nowadays.I also wanted to reduce RAM usage. Fedora Workstation consumes about 4GB of RAM even when idle.Additionally, I was interested in trying tiling windows.I considered options like CachyOS or Hyperland but didn't want to go through the process of reinstalling the operating system.

       Despite these issues, I still respect the work the team at System76 is doing. Hopefully, Cosmic DE will continue to evolve. More options are always beneficial in the FOSS world. (4/4)
