For Pop! the Cosmic-epoch can be install via
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
comment out wayland = false
sudo apt-manage add popdev:cosmic-session
sudo apt install cosmic-session
restart
click on the “gear” on login page.
There are “COSMIC”, “Pop” and “Pop on Wayland”
If I have Fedora, how can i install and try COSMIC ?
Unless someone is maintaining packages on copr, you have to build it from source. You can find the instructions for that in the cosmic-epoch readme. Under the Testing section, there’s instructions for building a systemd extension image. Each of the cosmic components are git submodules in this repository. By default, it will always be somewhat behind the latest updates in Pop!_OS because PRs are required to update them. You can manually update the submodules to their latest changes though.
Before I even make the attempt, how successful do you think It’d be building epoch on NixOS?
I haven’t personally tried it but it might be easy to set up with the pre-existing nix flakes.
Aha, yeah I noticed all the recently added/updated nix flakes in COSMIC related repos. I’m going to give it a try when I get a minute.
