Will it be possible to install/test Cosmic on stable 24.05 in few days or it will still be usable only on unstable?

I tried using the nixos-cosmic flake against the nixos-24.05 channel. I don't remember the exact error but I'm pretty sure it failed to evaluate.

[drakon64]

https://github.com/lilyinstarlight/nixos-cosmic works against NixOS 24.05 now

[ahoneybun]

@nyabinary cosmic-store is in nixpkgs master now I believe.

yes: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=cosmic-store&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=cosmic-store

Btw. there is also a NixOS wiki article about the topic: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/COSMIC I linked the flake of lilyin, but not sure if it is missing anything else.

How to set COSMIC greeter as the display manager?

[nonetrix]

Intrested how to do that too if it works well with Hyprland, could see myself using that before Cosmic comes out doesn't have to do much to work

[jh-devv]

nixos-cosmic by @lilyinstarlight has an example implementation here. Hope it helps!

I have Hyprland, Cosmic and Gnome on a single machine (use Hyprland exclusively basically). I use GDM for greeter at the moment.
