COSMIC

COSMIC is a desktop environment developed in the Rust programming language, using the iced cross platform GUI library for Rust, and Smithay as building blocks for its compositor, cosmic-comp. Cosmic-comp is comparable to smithay's own anvil compositor demonstration, just like the Wayland project uses Weston as demo compositor.

Installation

Currently packaged in nixpkgs master/unstable are below, one way to install them is to use a configuration file like this:

``` { config, pkgs, ...}:

let

 unstable = import
   (builtins.fetchTarball https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/tarball/master)
   # reuse the current configuration
   { config = config.nixpkgs.config; };

in

{

 environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
   unstable.rustc
   unstable.just
   unstable.cosmic-icons
   unstable.cosmic-settings
 ];

} ```

You would add it to your main configuration.nix file in /etc/nixos/ like this:

```

  imports =
      [
          ./hardware-configuration.nix
          ./unstable.nix
      ];

```

then rebuild:

``` sudo nixos-rebuild switch ```
