Description
COSMIC Desktop Environment on RHEL 9 and 10
Thanks to Ryan Brue the Fedora repositories include the latest stable version of COSMIC. This repository uses the latest Rust toolchain to provide a clean rebuild of those packages, with some additional community-developed add-ons, for RHEL 9, 10 and their derivatives. The lastest COSMIC Desktop Beta 8 is out!
What is COSMIC?
COSMIC is a next-generation desktop environment primarily developed by System76, and by independent contributors. The desktop is written in Rust, and prioritizes modularity for vendors, such that they can create the experience they require for their end-users. The desktop's defaults provide a very slick experience, and Fedora tends to keep these defaults intact. Despite this, the end user can customize COSMIC completely to their liking!
Community-developed add-ons
COSMIC extensions builds: cosmic-ext-applet-classic-menu, cosmic-ext-applet-clipboard-manager, cosmic-ext-applet-emoji-selector, cosmic-ext-applet-minimon, cosmic-ext-applet-external-monitor-brightness, cosmic-ext-applet-ollama, cosmic-ext-applet-system-monitor, gui-scale-applet, cosmic-ext-calculator, cosmic-ext-tasks, cosmic-ext-tweaks, cutecosmic since el10, openconnect-gui

Installation Instructions
