Mint has a Debian version if’n you want to stay Debian

Are you talking why for the user, or why it was developed? The main reason it exists is that System 76 like the Gnome desktop, but didn’t like stuff Gnome was doing, so they decided to make their own version from scratch in Rust. For a user, I don’t think there’s any real compelling reason to use it, especially not right now, unless you love Rust, or have the same feelings about Gnome that S76 did.

I’ve been running it on my Asahi linux for a bit over a week, and while it comes off feeling a bit bare bones, I’ve had no stability issues despite it being an alpha, in fact all issues I’ve had are minor, in fact the biggest issues come from Asahi Linux, not Cosmic.

Thanks, should’ve know that was the problem. Meh, no matter, wired is easily an option.

I think the browser issues are just Firefox, I suspect it isn’t playing nicely with Wayland or they haven’t figured it out, as tabs aren’t draggable, but there’s a move tab menu choice. Also right click doesn’t work right, I forgot to mention that, right clicking on a link opens in a new tab and switches you to it, even if’n you don’t have that on. As to the keyboard, the layouts section is completely missing in Cinnamon’s keyboard menu, and some research online came back that there’s no way to change the layout, apparently it was overlooked by the Wayland project.

Indeed, this would be nice to see. For me, the problem is really that LightBurn is over kill, for a cheap basic machine, you really don’t need half of what it offers. Heck, I’d love to see an Android software for lasers, and am surprised that hasn’t happened yet.
