Options for a 'Night Light'?

16 Upvotes

Didn't realize this OS didn't have a night-light feature yet given how, er, commonplace it is with... nearly all other operating systems, lol.

I rely on it pretty heavily to correctly regulate my sleep schedule. Are there any options out there?

Edit: This is using the COSMIC desktop btw.

Bug Report Zoom and Discord issues

2 Upvotes

Sometimes these two apps crash and I need to reboot to launch them again.
Discord crashed once, I don't remember what I was doing.
Zoom crashed several times, IIRC when I was double-clicking it to go full screen. Not every time, but after some time it happens.
Both apps show in applet dock as active but don't work, can't close them from app dock either. After killing them they refuse to launch again until a new session.

Anyone knows why it could happen and how to fix it?

SOLVED Having some issues with games

5 Upvotes

I've been having issues with all my games running next to slow, my laptop is not really that good for gaming, but most games run on low settings at lest 60fps, but a week or two ago, they started to run like compleat shit, maxing out at 10ish fps, is not only steam games, some other games I have on heroic form GOG won't work either.

As far as I can tell, I haven't done any changes other than system updates, can someone help me troubleshoot it?

Edit: Fixed it, I was 10 kernel versions behind

Computer keeps refreshing

2 Upvotes

Originally it started when I was playing a game. My computer would freeze and then black out. After that, it would then flash the screen again but all my applications I have would reload as if my computer did a full reboot. I was able to fix the issue by changing my proton in steam. Now im having the issue even while not playing. I was trying to watch a movie in firefox and it would happen. I tried to turn off hardware acceleration but that did nothing. It seems to be happening more often now too which means its making it impossible to use my computer to do anything. I have these error logs from my graphics card but I dont know what to do with them. Ive tried updating my system but that doesnt seem to have solved anything. Ive also asked gemini for suggestions. Ive changed my link mode to gen 4 instead of auto like it suggested and the hardware acceleration. They did not work which is why im asking for help here. Ive asked it to categorize my error logs that ive been feeding it.

my graphics card is amd radeon rx 5700 xt
I dont know if my cpu is also an issue since i see if in the messages. I have amd ryzen 7 7800x3d

As a side note, It could be a massive coincidence but I crash whenever I use discord. Like if im in a discord call then I crash. I was watching a video and didnt crash. The minute I joined a discord voice call, I crashed. I dont know how much these two are related

A Nod to PopOS!

33 Upvotes

I'm not sure what the going opinion is on PopOS!, but I've seen much criticism. At work I run Ubuntu w/ the PopOS gnome extension for tiling and love it. At home I use PopOS on both my desktop and laptop. As a gamer, programmer, and musician I've had zero issues.

I've tried to switch to Linux a few times before. I'd go for Ubuntu or Linux Mint, then set up i3 (gaps) because I prefer tiling window managers. For me, PopOS is the perfect out-of-the-box distro. It "just works", it's based on Ubuntu (which I have the most comfort with for package management etc), and it looks good.

Am I the only one who's had no problems w/ Cosmic?

Question Is Pop!_OS good for gaming and daily driving?

10 Upvotes

I'm considering installing it on my PC since I'm swapping from Windows 10, and I was wondering if this one is both Linux rookie friendly and suitable for my purposes. I mainly use my PC for gaming, chatting with friends on Discord, listening to music on Spotify, browsing the web and creative writing. I'm running an RX580 Dual 8gb GPU and I've heard AMD works well with Linux in general.

[Help] External monitor flickers/loses signal on Pop!_OS (NVIDIA Optimus Legacy). Works perfectly on Windows 10

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm dealing with a frustrating issue with my external monitor and could use some advanced help.

* **The Issue:** My LG monitor (connected via HDMI) constantly flickers and drops the signal (black screen). * **My Setup:** ASUS laptop with **NVIDIA Legacy OPTIMUS** dual graphics (GTX 960M + Intel). Running Pop!_OS. * **The Key Detail:** I had *zero* issues with this exact monitor and cable setup when running Windows 10, so I can confidently rule out a hardware or cable fault. This is 100% a Linux/driver issue. * **What I've Found:** Checking the kernel logs, I noticed a constant **"i915 hotplug storm"** occurring (the system seems to think the HDMI is rapidly connecting and disconnecting, forcing a link re-sync).

Does anyone know how to stabilize this? Are there any specific kernel parameters or X11 configurations recommended for this specific legacy NVIDIA/Intel combo to stop the hotplug storm?

Thanks in advance!

Files not showing in the Cosmic Files App.

Hi, I am experiencing an issue with the Cosmic Files app. For some reason it is showing some directory as empty; however there are several files in it. For the reference, I have attached the screenshot of one of my project. The files are clearly visible in the VS code and doing ls does show data in the terminal; however, the Files app shows nothing. I have tried rebooting the maching but the issue remain as it is. IDK is this a known bug or something else.

I'm not real good at sorting through GitHub, guess this one is still open however I gather there's a fix that hasn't been implemented - any idea when it'll be included in a release?

Why does COSMIC have touchpad gestures for workspaces, but not for the Overview or App Library?

17 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been exploring the new COSMIC DE, and while I’m really impressed with the direction System76 is taking, I noticed a specific gap in the touchpad experience that feels a bit jarring.

Right now, we have perfectly smooth gestures for switching between workspaces. However, there are no touchpad gestures for opening the Overview or the Applications menu.

Given that the core COSMIC workflow feels very similar to GNOME in many aspects, this feels like a missed opportunity. In GNOME, the 1:1 trackpad gestures (like the 3-finger swipe up for the overview and app drawer) are arguably one of its best features. It makes laptop navigation incredibly fluid and intuitive.

This got me thinking about a few related things, and I wanted to know what the community thinks:

  • The GNOME Workflow:If the layout and workflow share DNA with GNOME, why skip one of the most intuitive navigation methods? Is this simply something that hasn't been implemented yet, or is it a deliberate design choice
  • Keyboard vs. Touchpad Focus: I know COSMIC is heavily optimized for keyboard-centric, auto-tiling workflows. But for casual laptop users who rely heavily on trackpads, missing these overview gestures breaks the flow.

Has anyone else felt this piece missing from their daily workflow?

How are you all setting up your daily workflow in COSMIC for maximum productivity? Do you rely purely on keyboard shortcuts and auto-tiling, or do you mix in trackpad navigation? Please share your setups and tips!

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Discussion After a long break, I’m back to Pop!_OS – and I’m genuinely impressed.

Post image

I used to run Pop!_OS a while ago, but stepped away due to some instability and delayed improvements. Recently, I decided to give it another shot, and I have to say – the distro has matured significantly.

Right after installation, I noticed how much smoother everything feels. The system is responsive, the UI is clean, and the overall experience is far more polished than what I remembered.

Hardware-wise, everything worked out of the box. My Intel i7-6600U, dual GPUs (AMD Radeon R7 M360 and Intel HD 520), and even battery management are all handled perfectly. Memory usage sits comfortably at around 4.4 GiB out of 15.5 GiB, and disk space is more than enough for my workflow.

What I appreciate the most is the balance between simplicity and flexibility. Pop!_OS doesn’t try to do too much, but it gives you all the tools you need without unnecessary complexity. It’s straightforward, intuitive, and just works.

I’m also glad to be back in the community. There’s something special about using a distro that feels like it was built with the user in mind – and Pop!_OS delivers that.

If you’ve been away for a while or hesitated to try it before, I’d say give it another look. The progress is real, and it’s honestly refreshing to see how far this distro has come.

Looking forward to spending more time with it and contributing to the community again.
