Hallo, there. I’m new from Pop_os to manjaro. AFAIK, the gnome version on Pop_os has been Gnome 42 for a while. I wonder when can we try cosmic on manjaro gnome 42 as well? Thank you!
Pop!_OS 22.04, being based on Ubuntu 22.04, uses a GNOME 42 / 41.4 hybrid and GNOME Control Center 41.4 is still used. It depends on older packages we no longer have.
Hi, thank you for replying. I’ve installed all the relevant packages and found it doesn’t work very well. Specifically the setting part (switch super to launcher) or changing the background doesn’t work. (BTW I’m now at gnome 42.1). It seems to be the incompatible issue on gnome 42 right?
If I would like to have the full cosmic experience, should I downgrade my Gnome? I’m new to manjaro, sorry if the question is stupid and thank you for your great work!
Are you using the testing or unstable branch? Either way, the COSMIC packages have been dropped and are no longer supportedf. You should remove the cosmic group and go back to regular GNOME repo packages.
No, downgrading is not supported. Rolling releases roll forward, not back. You can stay on the stable branch for now if you still want to use COSMIC packages.
I tried to use unstable branch and didn’t found the package, so as a newbie here I switched back to stable branch.
I don’t install the group but individual packages, I’m currently using :
- gnome-control-center-cosmic
- gnome-shell-extension-cosmic-dock
- gnome-shell-extension-cosmic-workspaces
- pop-cosmic
- pop-desktop-widget
Should I remove all these packages as well?
Yes. Be sure to reinstall gnome-control-center and gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock (if desired) after.
Yes, thank you and looking forward to the day when Pop shell is fully compatible with Gnome 42! Then I’ll switch my laptop to manjaro as well.
Don’t forget, Pop Shell still works. 
Hahah, yes, but the problem is about using super to open(and subsequently close it in second tap) pop launcher. I found a workaround to open it with super but not closing with it.
This is the most important reason that I want to have a COSMIC environment bcs I can’t find another way to have this work.
I would like to ask if you have any idea how may we have a workaround/solution to emulate this behavior on pop os. Any advise is appreciated.
BTW: I’m honestly pretty impressed by how fast you reply the message and thank u for your delicated work!
One year passed. Will you plan to release COSMIC flavor edition ?
