Has anyone been brave enough to try using Cosmic Desktop on Arch without also having gnome or kde (or possibly any other DE) installed?
This is the guide I'm using to install:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/COSMIC
Once installed, i set sddm as disabled and cosmic-greeter as enabled
reboot
My USB KB/Mouse work, as well as my laptops touchpad/keyboard
I then remove KDE plasma using pacman -Rns plasma-meta
Once KDE plasma is removed my USB keyboard/mouse no longer work. only my touchpad and keyboard.
I don't know Arch well enough to be comfortable filing a bug with arch as this is my first time using Arch but I did file one with fedora, here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2354984
They are investigating currently.
For the record I tried Pop OS 24.04 and it works just fine without gnome or kde installed.
Are you guys seeing the same issue? I'm probably the only one crazy enough to try just cosmic!
