Gentoo overlay with next generation COSMIC DE. This DE is in pre-alpha stage, but already usable for daily driving.
Overlay status: stable ebuilds install functional DE with a few minor issues. Installation was tested only on aarch64 platform, but should work on amd64 too.
Caution
Overlay supports only systemd profiles. Contributions are welcome!
eselect repository add cosmic-overlay git https://github.com/aladmit/cosmic-overlay.git
emaint sync -r cosmic-overlay
Stable ebuilds(amd64, arm64) install version from cosmic-epoch repo which I consider stable. Testing ebuilds(~amd64, ~arm64) install fresher version.
emerge -av cosmic-base/cosmic
Issue: xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic#102
XDG portal doesn't support org.freedesktop.portal.OpenURI
interface. Install
gtk and nautilus as a fallback.
sudo emerge -av sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk gnome-base/nautilus
Issue: cosmic-files#61
It happens when cosmic renders using opengl/gles
. Force vulkan render by
setting systemd-wide environment variable.
/etc/env.d/99local
WGPU_BACKEND=vulkan
Then run sudo env-update
and restart cosmic.
