      How do you run it? I admit I haven’t dug too deep, but I haven’t seen a release post. I’ve only seen Dev blog posts about the work being done.

        Here are instructions for installing the current state of Cosmic https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZCCVRbYYRM

        It is in a very pre-alpha state. The promoted demonstrations are being made by people developing Cosmic, so have a deep knowledge of how to configure it manually, or are using features that haven’t been merged into the currently distributed package.

        Apparently, some people that work at System76 are daily driving Cosmic, but they must be using a different configuration than what is part of the shipped package. As is, I find it basically a demo that is functional enough to attempt using for more than 5 minutes, but giving up not long after.

          Thank you, unfortunate it is a video but at least there’s something. I feel like my requirements of a DE are pretty low, so if it does work, and can open a window with AMD GPU acceleration then cool. I’m not fully aware of how much I actually use specific DE features, so this would be a good way to find out haha. I’d love to give it a shot on NixOS.
