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 is a clean rebuild of those packages and a few additional community-developed add-ons for RHEL 9, 10 and their derivatives. The lastest COSMIC Desktop Beta 5 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-classic-menu, cosmic-ext-applet-clipboard-manager, cosmic-ext-applet-emoji-selector, cosmic-ext-applet-external-monitor-brightness, cosmic-ext-applet-minimon, cosmic-ext-applet-ollama, cosmic-ext-applet-system-monitor, cosmic-ext-calculator, cosmic-ext-tweaks, gui-scale-applet, cutecosmic since el10, openconnect-gui

Installation Instructions

COSMIC Desktop

Since EPEL 10 is now based on CentOS Stream and not RHEL, with newer packages sometimes causing build compatibility issues for RHEL, you must select your architecture if you are using a rebuilt version of RHEL 10

dnf copr enable ligenix/enterprise-cosmic rhel+epel-10-aarch64
dnf copr enable ligenix/enterprise-cosmic rhel+epel-10-ppc64le
dnf copr enable ligenix/enterprise-cosmic rhel+epel-10-s390x
dnf copr enable ligenix/enterprise-cosmic rhel+epel-10-x86_64

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm  
dnf copr enable ligenix/enterprise-cosmic

dnf update ; dnf install cosmic-desktop
