Is the cosmic -DE still alpha in new release (240818) ?
I think so.
Good call @Sunda-Spirit , wonder if it s from that package;
Or repackaged into CachyOS Repo.
https://archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/cosmic/
Edit: It s on Cachy OS Repo V3 & V3 extra on my end,
If it wasn’t in the repos, you could download it here: Arch Linux - cosmic-store 1.0.0.alpha.1-1 (x86_64) Ok, no point.
Yep, just found out afterward.
Guess that @hotte s good to go if he wants to install it for testing or more.
did that - and it doesn’t open
– but it’s ok as it’s alpha 
I was surprised that the OS works and updates run
after release no.9
lol —> something like “love potion number nine” [by searchers]
We have packaged it manually, see here:
It works fine. Do you test it in a VM?
If yes, then you need hardware accelartion
Oh, did you get out & relog into Cosmic @hotte
Or are you on metal or on VM,
yeah I tried in quemu
@altman do you really think so ??? 
lol, I wonder !
That wont work with Cosmic. You need hardware accelartion, since it does not have a software renderer.
thx
I found that out yet
I’ll try in virtualbox 
I think you need to explicitly enable Hardware accel in vbox
that’s my intention
Looks great @hotte
I have just added the cachyOS repo to my EndeavourOS, then updated, rebooted to cachyos kernel, and then added Cosmic, with the Cosmic greeter. I can get into Cosmic, but it is still very alpha in that most of my normal apps like Thunar, Brave, Remmina will do anything. No log, just failure to run. Mozilla apps like Firefox and Tbird do run. In order to go back to functional I had to re-enable lightdm and use that to get back to XFCE, as the Cosmic Greeter just fails to load it. Just as Lightdm fails to load Cosmic.
