    I love the new lockscreen. Looks great so far.

    I’ve got some concerns about the screen space usage for the desktop itself however. Between the top “Gnome” bar and the bottom panel for apps, that’s a lot of vertical space used up. I can imagine this being awful for small screen laptops. Gnome doesn’t have this issue because the bottom “dock” is hidden until the actitives button is pressed. Will Cosmic in some way allow the user to hide or move the bottom panel?

        @mmstick @GlenTheFrog
        C++'s problem was it was directed to be a heap safe language otherwise it was the perfect language to say, write drivers with.
        I’m assuming modern apps don’t care how much memory is/isn’t available to it while the OS core does not care what an app needs memory for.
        I’m curious where rust will be in those cases.

        Awesome! Yeah, that’s what I was a bit apprehensive about. I’ve only seen screenshots of a blank desktop so far, and they always show the dock. And the “apply pressure” method is definitely the better way to go.
