Components of Cosmic Desktop Rust-based Desktop Environment: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch#components-of-cosmic-...

cosmic-comp/src/wayland/handlers

Ran git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

The repo readme has instructions for installing test builds.

I think there might be some confusion in this poll and thread -- COSMIC is the name of both a suite of components in Pop_Shell, which modifies (but does not replace) GNOME shell components like the dock and workspaces, as well as a full-fledged desktop environment that replaces GNOME.

system76 is using it to develop their new cosmic desktop environment for linux. The code is here https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

We'll see how it starts panning out this year or next.

I have compiled and installed cosmic to test and follow development - https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

See https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

I heard that the Iced version of COSMIC will allow horizontal and vertical workspaces: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/53

i love hyprlands fork of xdg-desktop-portal[1] which fixes a bunch of things like obs window capture by using custom wayland protocol extensions[2]

I tried to get it working but seem to be running into some strange crashes which I reported in https://github.com/hyprwm/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland/issues/61.

Hello there, recently I seen that Vaxerski (Hyprland Maintainer (Hyprkang)) stole some commits in here https://github.com/hyprwm/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland/commits/bf035bf3d5b56fd3da9d11966ad0b3c57f852d78

As it seems, Hyprland has its own portal backend named xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland. So, first I would check if that backend runs and provides the dark mode preference. If not, you might want to discuss with the developers how this specific portal could be supported.

I'm on Hyprland, so with xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland I can screenshare at least with obs, maybe others, too

I had to install qt5 dependencies, despite this https://github.com/hyprwm/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland indicating it needs qt6. After installing qt5, it works.
