My new Cosmo Communicator arrived yesterday. It is designed to be linux compatible and android. So after following the official instructions I now have both Debian Linux and Android running on it.

KDE isnt well suited for a device with somewhat limited mouse capabilities (there is a trackpad like device on the back that acts as a second display), also it is KDE, ew. so first thing I did was install i3-gaps which is a primarily keyboard based tiling window manager. It works like a charm!

Everything so far has pretty much worked out of the box (though updating the firmware I did think I bricked it for a moment, thankfully it is fixed).

My i3 configuration is the same as on my desktop, im happy!

@freemo aww!Don't be hating on KDE. When I have to use a GUI WM, it is far and away my favorite.

Nice on the I3, though. Before I found EXWM I enjoyed playing with that one.

@worldsendless KDE is my last choice for an IDE personally. It tries too hard to be windows.

With that said, it isnt horrific for people who want a more windows or mac like expiernce.

@freemo That's how I felt about Gnome. With KDE, it was the grid workspaces and the extensive customizability that had me on it for years.

@worldsendless Gnome would be my second to last choice for a WM, so you arent really helping your case from my point of view :)

@freemo Oh, no. Gnome is terrible. I'm with you on that one.
