I run it as live usb, looking good. ANy plan to allow us to run on vm? I don't have a spare laptop I can use for testing..thank you

hellostick @lemm.ee 1y ago

that is a good point... I obviously missed that. my generally would only use flatpak from the same developer of the app, or I will just use the deb packaged by my distro.

hellostick @lemm.ee 1y ago

actually there is difference in version between the two. deb by my distro is in 4.0.0 (mar, 2022) while flatpak is 5.0.0 (nov, 2024)

i am not sure which one is the native version... you mean the version packaged by the distro (deb) or the developer (flatpak)?

for the media player, quoted from mmstick (phoronix.com)

A video player is probably the easiest app to implement because it's based on the iced video player widget. It's just a matter of porting it to COSMIC. And there's no reason not to add a video player to the core lineup if it can be done. Every OS has a default system video player.
