I’ve being using offline location tracking using a different app for some time now. This looked like a pretty elegant alternative, so I decided to give it a shot!

The app looks great, and very well thought through. The automation features really appeal to me (disabling tracking at home, automatically changing profiles, etc.)

One thing I wish it had was the ability to associate vehicles with trips (potentially, automatically, based on Bluetooth connections or other triggers). I like to track the category for each of my trips (car, bike, train, walk), as well as the specific vehicle (when applicable).

I haven’t tested too much yet, but it looks like you already have pretty robust trip tracking. It would be awesome if I could create a list of vehicles with types, and select a vehicle when starting a trip, or have it automatically set when connecting to a Bluetooth device.

In any case, this app looks great, and I appreciate the effort you’re putting into an open source project like this.

The implication is that if you see them before they see you, you’ll make sure to avoid them.

I installed 24.04 fresh on a new machine, and I’d say it’s more stable than 22.04, but has a lot more “weirdness”.

Positives:

• On 22.04, it seemed like frozen programs had a habit of crashing the entire desktop environment. That doesn’t seem to happen on 24.04.
• Like you mentioned, it seems to use new versions of many dependencies, so I’ve run into less issues installing certain programs.

Negatives:

• For whatever reason, I can no longer use Shift or Ctrl to move or copy a file. Instead of dragging a file while holding shift, I have to cut and paste it to move it. This sounds minor, but it’s deceptively annoying, and affects all programs.
• A bunch of the keyboard shortcuts (particularly in the tiling window manager) were changed. For example, there’s now two different shortcuts to expand or shrink windows.
• The dock will just randomly stop working (i.e. it doesn’t appear when you hover against the edge of the screen). The only way I’ve found to fix it is to reset the dock preferences.
• Default apps will randomly reset.
• COSMIC seems to be more prone to keeping the display turned on while on the lock screen, even when configured to sleep. This isn’t a huge deal, but it’s a bit annoying with an OLED.
