I’m excited to see it, not to use it. I’m much happier with GNOME or Sway on Fedora. Unless they provide a way to use it on other distros (which I don’t see happening, since they have no reason to), I don’t plan on trying it. However, I am excited to see the Rust GUI situation improve by them using it!
According to my experience a bunch of Rust programs should not be too hard to run on other distros. At least NixOS will have the option very quick after it’s release, I believe.
I wish that it could just be as easy as running a few Cargo commands. Though, I have not taken a look at how the project is made/programmed or anything. I wish it could be as simple as
We use casey/just as a better makefile alternative. Shared system library dependencies will be listed in the debian/rules file, and most things should compile and install with just && sudo just install.
It’s already packaged on multiple distributions, albeit in an unofficial capacity. If you are on Pop!_OS, you can install the cosmic-session package today. We have an apt-manage tool which you can use to add development branches. A popdev branch is created for each branch on GitHub pushed by a team member.
