I’ve heard cosmic is in the process of being packaged for nix, but on the tracking issue the only things not complete are the video player and the app store, neither of which I care about

Is there any halfway sensible way to get the bits that do work running on nixos? Would quite like to try this desktop out

    From looking into this s a few days ago it looked like things were packaged in the unstable channel so you can install them. But from what I read there is no way to configured it via nix configs so you would manually have to write them for now.

    https://nixos.wiki/wiki/COSMIC

    There is also this flake which should give some configuration for it but it mentions it might not be dully working yet and I have not yet actually tried it.

    I don’t expect things to change much in this regard though until they start releasing some more stable versions of cosmic which is still in a prealpha state.
