Man i just wanted to check if cosmic is available in void linux!
Even though it's not available but this pull request!
It seems cosmic can run without systemd!
Unlike gnome 49+

Have you played with void-packages? You can pull this PR and build it and start playing with it! I'm running it with no systemd and it seems ok... There seems to be something with the sound but idk if that just my system. So testers are welcome!

Thanks for working on this!
I just wanted to show some support. A few days ago I asked in r/voidlinux why COSMIC wasn't in the official repositories yet (I really like it and have been using MtFBella109 repo). Seeing an actual PR appear so soon after that discussion is great.
I’m going to try building and testing this PR on my system. If I find any issues I’ll report them here.
Thanks again for taking the time to package it.

Thanks for getting this PR up! I've been looking forward to it. I built and tested the full cosmic desktop. The issues I've encountered so far are being unable to launch cosmic-launcher, and my mouse doesn't update when hovering over links/buttons/window edges. It just stays as the default arrow.

Anyone able to replicate those issues, or is it just my system?

@EllisK-L what kind of issue are you seeing with cosmic-launcher? I'm not super familiar with cosmic but I think that is the launcher on the screenshot, right? when I look at ps aux | grep cosmic-launcher I see it running in the background too...

A bit of context about my setup, I'm using sddm to start the cosmic session and I have dbus enabled.

An issue I saw was that my sound was not recognized, but running pipewire on a terminal got it working, so it seems to be related in how I have pipewire configured to autostart and not related to cosmic...

I'm looking forward to hear more opinions and see how the thing is working in other people's machines... I'm still daily-driving plasma out of habit but I think I'm gonna throw some more hours at cosmic to see how stable it feels and what other sharp edges might be found.

I also launched cosmic with sddm, I don't think I tested audio, I can when I'm back at that system.

Here's an example of cosmic-launcher the default shortcut is the super key, but can also open it by just running it as a command. Here's an example on my PopOS 24 system:

@EllisK-L you are right! Just fixed it, the issue was that cosmic-launcher required the package pop-launcher, so I just added that and now it is working fine!
