## Setup
|
|
|
|
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):
|
|
|
|
- [just](https://github.com/casey/just)
|
|
- rust
|
|
- libwayland
|
|
- mesa (or third-party libEGL/libGL implementations, though interfacing with mesa's libglvnd is generally recommended).
|
|
- libseat
|
|
- libxkbcommon
|
|
- libinput
|
|
- udev
|
|
- gtk4
|
|
- dbus
|
|
|
|
optionally (though the build-system might currently require these libraries):
|
|
- libsystemd
|
|
- libpulse
|
|
- pop-launcher
|
|
|
|
### 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 inside `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.
|
|
|
|
**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).
|
|
|
|
It is thus no proper method for long term deployment.
|
|
|
|
### Experimental X Support
|
|
|
|
With [opam installed](https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Install.html) X support using wayland-proxy-virtwl can be optionally enabled during installation. When building, use `just x=1 sysext` and after refreshing with `sudo systemd-sysext refresh`, run
|
|
```
|
|
systemctl --user daemon-reload
|
|
systemctl --user enable --now wayland-proxy-virtwl
|
|
```
|
|
### 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.
