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?

          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.
