Computer Operating System Main Interface Components Desktop Environment
https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch
COSMIC is a desktop environment developed in the Rust programming language, using the iced cross platform GUI library for Rust, and Smithay as building blocks for its compositor, cosmic-comp. Cosmic-comp is comparable to smithay's own anvil compositor demonstration, just like the Wayland project uses Weston as demo compositor.

Hey there, good work, I already tested it and cosmic starts and everything that should be working currently, works :) Hope to see this officially supported one day :)
Thats the plan, already filed for a develproject
So dumb question, but if I just want to install all of cosmic, is there a group or meta package I can install? Or do I have to install all of these separately?
No, i still need to do that. I do myself right now cosmic-* pop-* anf xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic.
Right now i am fighting with the cosmic icon theme (doesnt get applied) and a live image as cosmic-comp doesnt support vms for now
I'd be more than happy to help test on my daily driver as long as I can just switch between it and plasma on my login screen.
sddm needs to be running on wayland. not sure if that is already possible. I have a liveimage in the subproject. it has still gnome as a "fallback" for now if you just want to see how far COSMIC is. the only issue what I try to figure out is the theme issue. settings work, but most other stuff is still missing the theme
oh I forgot to add, don't mind the wrong naming of the image, and the ISO doesn't work with VMs, as cosmic-comp doesn't have that feature implemented for now
I managed it on Arch with GDM, but I don't know about SDDM and Wayland unfortunately.
yes, GDM even uses for nvidia wayland (afair).
