How to install COSMIC DE?

I tried, yay -S cosmic cosmic-session and cosmic-session-git with no success.

Not sure what you are doing in the AUR.

I have the endeavour repo and I tried, sudo pacman -S cosmic cosmic-session and cosmic-session-git, with no success.

Does Rust have to be installed?

Maybe this will help: Cosmic - Arch Wiki

I’ve been dealing with either PopOS! Cosmic Alpha or other distros with Cosmic availability via VM for a while now.

Time for a bare-metal test. I’ll be installing CachyOS Cosmic on my Samsung Laptop.

More to come…
