Basically title, with System76 moving from gnome to their new rust built COSMIC environment what are your thoughts?
According to my experience a bunch of Rust programs should not be too hard to run on other distros. At least NixOS will have the option very quick after it’s release, I believe.
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)
We use casey/just as a better makefile alternative. Shared system library dependencies will be listed in the debian/rules
file, and most things should compile and install with just && sudo just install
.
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?
