    I wish that it could just be as easy as running a few Cargo commands. Though, I have not taken a look at how the project is made/programmed or anything. I wish it could be as simple as

    • Install deps
    • cargo build
    • cargo install (or similar command)

        That’s very nice to hear. So it’ll be easy to get up and running with Cosmic even if I’m on a different distribution?

          It’s already packaged on multiple distributions, albeit in an unofficial capacity. If you are on Pop!_OS, you can install the cosmic-session package today, then enable Wayland in the gdm3 config. We have an apt-manage tool which you can use to add development branches. A popdev branch is created for each branch on GitHub pushed by a team member. Which can be useful to quickly add a branch to validate a fix by a developer.
