    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?

        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.
