Add a DEBUGGING.md file with some information useful for debugging

I have included information about various things I've used for debugging COSMIC. More could definitely be added. It seems good to have some central resource for this. Though not everything listed here is very straightforward to use.

-## Installing on Pop!\_OS
+## Setup on distributions without packaging of cosmic components

-### Pop!\_OS 24.04
+The COSMIC desktop environment requires a few dependencies:
+(This list does not try to be exhaustive, but rather tries to provide a decent starting point. For detailed instructions, check out the individual projects):

-COSMIC DE's first release (Epoch 1) is included in Pop!\_OS 24.04. There are two ways to get the 24.04 release:
+- [just](https://github.com/casey/just)
+- rustc
+- libwayland
+- mesa (or third-party libEGL/libGL implementations, though interfacing with mesa's libglvnd is generally recommended).
+- libseat
+- libxkbcommon
+- libinput
+- udev
+- dbus

- Install it from the [latest release ISO](https://system76.com/cosmic/).
- Upgrade an existing Pop!\_OS 22.04 installation using the following command: `pop-upgrade release upgrade -f`
-    - If you experience problems during the upgrade, please open an issue in the [pop-upgrade GitHub repository](https://github.com/pop-os/upgrade) or join the [Pop!\_OS Mattermost chat server](https://chat.pop-os.org) for assistance.
+optionally (though the build-system might currently require these libraries):
+- libsystem
+- libpulse
+- pop-launcher
+- libexpat1
+- libfontconfig
+- libfreetype
+- lld
+- cargo
+- libgbm-dev
+- libclang-dev
+- libpipewire-0.3-dev

-COSMIC users, including Pop!_OS users, are welcome to join the [Pop!\_OS Mattermost chat server](https://chat.pop-os.org) to receive news about development. Join the [COSMIC Epoch channel](https://chat.pop-os.org/pop-os/channels/cosmic-epoch) for COSMIC user discussion, or the [Development channel](https://chat.pop-os.org/pop-os/channels/development) for developer-oriented discussion.
-
-### Pop!\_OS 22.04
-
-Due to dependency requirements, **COSMIC Epoch is no longer receiving updates on Pop!\_OS 22.04 LTS.** It's no longer recommended to test COSMIC Epoch on Pop!\_OS 22.04 because the latest bug fixes and features are only available on newer distributions such as Pop!\_OS 24.04.
-
-Individual COSMIC applications work in the default GNOME session of Pop!\_OS 22.04. You can install individual COSMIC applications using the following command:
+Note: `libfontconfig`, `libfreetype`, and `lld` are packages specific to Linux distributions. You may need to find the equivalent version for your distribution if you are not using Pop!_OS.

+The required ones can be installed with:
 ```
-sudo apt install cosmic-edit cosmic-files cosmic-player cosmic-store cosmic-term
+sudo apt install just rustc libglvnd-dev libwayland-dev libseat-dev libxkbcommon-dev libinput-dev udev dbus libdbus-1-dev libpam0g-dev libpixman-1-dev libssl-dev libflatpak-dev -y
 ```

-#### Old Release on 22.04
+and the optional ones with:
+```
+sudo apt install libsystemd-dev libpulse-dev pop-launcher libexpat1-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype-dev mold cargo libgbm-dev libclang-dev libpipewire-0.3-dev -y
+```

-An **older release** of the COSMIC Epoch desktop environment alpha is still available on Pop!\_OS 22.04 LTS. If you encounter bugs while testing COSMIC Epoch on Pop!\_OS 22.04, please check if they exist in Pop!\_OS 24.04 before reporting them. You can install the older release on 22.04 with these instructions:
+They can be installed all at once with:
+```
+sudo apt install just rustc libglvnd-dev libwayland-dev libseat-dev libxkbcommon-dev libinput-dev udev dbus libdbus-1-dev libsystemd-dev libpixman-1-dev libssl-dev libflatpak-dev libpulse-dev pop-launcher libexpat1-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype-dev mold cargo libgbm-dev libclang-dev libpipewire-0.3-dev libpam0g-dev -y
+```

-##### Enable Wayland
+### Testing

+The easiest way to test COSMIC DE currently is by building a systemd system extension (see `man systemd-sysext`).
+
+```
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch
+cd cosmic-epoch
+just sysext
+```
+
+This will create a system-extension called `cosmic-sysext`, that you can move (without renaming!) into e.g. `/var/lib/extensions`.
+After starting systemd-sysext.service (`sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-sysext`) and refreshing (`sudo systemd-sysext refresh`) or rebooting,
+*COSMIC* will be an available option in your favorite display manager.
+
+If you have SELinux enabled (e.g. on Fedora), the installed extension won't have the correct labels applied.
+To test COSMIC, you can temporarily disable it and restart `gdm` (note that this will close your running programs).
+
+```shell
+sudo setenforce 0
+sudo systemctl restart gdm
+```
+
+**Note**: An extension created this way will be linked against specific libraries on your system and will not work on other distributions.
+It also requires the previously mentioned libraries/dependencies at runtime to be installed in your system (the system extension does not carry these libraries).
+
+**Read-Only Filesystem**: If you're not on an immutable distro you may notice that `/usr/` and `/opt/` are read-only.
+this is caused by `systemd-sysext` being enabled, when you are done testing you can disable `systemd-sysext` (`sudo systemctl disable --now systemd-sysext`)
+
+It is thus no proper method for long term deployment.
+
+### Packaging
+
+COSMIC DE is packaged for Pop!_OS. For reference, look at the `debian` folders in the projects repositories.
+These and the `justfile` inside this repository may be used as references on how to package COSMIC DE, though no backwards-compatibility guarantees are provided at this stage.
+
+### Versioning
+
+COSMIC DE is very much still work-in-progress and thus does not follow a versioning scheme so far.
+We do our best to keep the referenced submodule commits in this repository building and working together, as a consequence they might not contain the latest updates and features from these repositories (yet).
+
+Notes on versioning and packaging all these components together properly will be added at a later stage once COSMIC DE gets its first release.
+
+## Installing on Pop!_OS
+COSMIC DE is near its first alpha release. Using and testing the pre-alpha is welcome. Bugs and breakage are expected.
+
+#### Enable Wayland
 `sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf`

+#### Install COSMIC
 `sudo apt install cosmic-session`

 After logging out, click on your user and there will be a sprocket at the bottom right. Change the setting to COSMIC. Proceed to log in.

 ## Installing on Arch Linux
-Install via [cosmic-session](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/cosmic-session/) or the [cosmic](https://archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/cosmic/) group, e.g.:
-`pacman -S cosmic-session` or `pacman -S cosmic`
+Installing via the preferred AUR helper is possible the usual way, e.g.:
+`paru -S cosmic-session-git` or `yay -S cosmic-session-git`

 Then log out, click on your user, and a sprocket at the bottom right shows an additional entry alongside your desktop environments. Change to COSMIC and proceed with log in.
 For a more detailed discussion, consider the [relevant section in the Arch wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/COSMIC).

 ## Installing on Fedora Linux
-
-COSMIC can be installed from the built-in repositories on Fedora 41+:
-
+Cosmic may be installed via a Fedora COPR repository.
 ```
-sudo dnf install @cosmic-desktop-environment
+dnf copr enable ryanabx/cosmic-epoch
+dnf install cosmic-desktop
 ```

-Alternatively, for more up-to-date COSMIC packages (but less quality control), you can use the nightly COPR builds:
-
-```
-sudo dnf copr enable ryanabx/cosmic-epoch && sudo dnf install cosmic-desktop
-```
-
-After installing, log out, click on your user, and use the sprocket in the bottom right to select the COSMIC desktop environment before logging in.
-For more information, check the [Fedora Wiki COSMIC SIG page](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/COSMIC) or the [COPR page](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ryanabx/cosmic-epoch/).
-
-## Installing on NixOS
-The COSMIC module on NixOS can be enabled by adding the following lines to
-your NixOS configuration file (`configuration.nix` or in your Flake):
-```nix
-{
-  # Enable the COSMIC login manager
-  services.displayManager.cosmic-greeter.enable = true;
-
-  # Enable the COSMIC desktop environment
-  services.desktopManager.cosmic.enable = true;
-}
-```
-
-While some packages like `cosmic-session` might be present in prior versions,
-the modules that add full support for COSMIC were added in **NixOS 25.05**.
-
-You can find more details on the [NixOS Wiki](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/COSMIC).
-
-
-## Installing on openSUSE tumbleweed
-Cosmic can be installed by adding X11:COSMIC:Factory repo with opi.
-```
-opi patterns-cosmic
-```
-Select X11:COSMIC:Factory, after installing keep the repo.
-
 Then log out, click on your user, and a sprocket at the bottom right shows an additional entry alongside your desktop environments. Change to COSMIC and proceed with log in.
-For further information, you may check the [OBS page](https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/X11:COSMIC:Factory).
-
-## Installing on Gentoo Linux
-COSMIC can be installed on Gentoo via a custom overlay. Add the overlay using your preferred overlay manager (such as eselect), and then install the desktop environment:
-
-`eselect repository add	cosmic-overlay git https://github.com/fsvm88/cosmic-overlay.git`
-
-Next, synchronize the repository with
-`emaint sync -r cosmic-overlay`
-
-and install the COSMIC desktop environment and its associated themes:
-
-`emerge cosmic-meta pop-theme-meta -av`
-
-Please note that the ebuilds have testing keywords and need to unmasked on stable systems for successful installation.
-
-Then log out, and switch the desktop environment to COSMIC, the procedure depends on your login manager.
-For further information, you may check the [Gentoo Wiki](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/COSMIC) or [Overlay Repository](https://github.com/fsvm88/cosmic-overlay).
-
-## Setup on distributions without packaging of COSMIC components
-
-The COSMIC desktop environment requires a few dependencies. The rustc and just packages of your distro may be too old, so we recommend installing rustc and cargo with rustup, and installing just with cargo.
-(This list does not try to be exhaustive, but rather tries to provide a decent starting point. For detailed instructions, check out the individual projects):

-These and the `justfile` inside this repository may be used as references on how to package COSMIC DE, though no backwards-compatibility guarantees are provided at this stage.
-
-### Versioning
-
-COSMIC DE is a work in progress with many moving pieces.
-We do our best to keep the referenced submodule commits in this repository building and working together; as a consequence, they might not contain the latest updates and features from these repositories (yet).
-
-The commits corresponding with the current release are tagged `epoch-X.Y.Z`, where `X` is the major release and the last two numbers denote incremental minor releases. (During development of new major versions, an additional `-alpha.Y.Z` or `-beta.Y.Z` may be appended.)
-
-COSMIC Epoch version numbers are mainly for the benefit of non-Pop!_OS distributions; Pop!_OS uses its own build system, and typically receives updates to individual submodules before they're tagged as part of a COSMIC Epoch release.

 ## Frozen desktop

-If the desktop is frozen and `ctrl+alt+f*` don't work to change to a TTY, [the magic SysRq key](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/sysrq.html) with `r` can be used to switch input into raw mode, so the kernel will handle the tty switch key binding. `/etc/sysctl.conf` or `/etc/sysctl.d` may need to be edited first to set `kernel.sysrq=1` or another value that allows this command.

 It is also possible to connect over `ssh` from another computer.

-Then `pidof cosmic-comp` can be used to get the PID of the compositor. Then it is possible to investigate further with tools like `gdb`, using `sudo gdb` and then `attach <pid>`.
