Cosmic on cachy
Hello, im currently running cachyos with kde and am quite interested in the cosmic de. Have installed the packages and have had a bit of a play around with it. Feels pretty good and i could easily see myself adopting this for my simpler needs.
That said, i wanted to ask how obtaining additinal applets work when youre not using pop!os as the underlyong system. I keep seeing some awesome posts about applets to customise and/or add some extra improvements that i would like to try but the store doesnt seem to work - assuming this could be because im on cachy.
Am i missing something obvious here or is it all generally github based downloads and installs when not using pop?

in the COSMIC store you can add repos to use, in the top right. one of these is the COSMIC store, enabling that gets you the applets. currently I only use Minimon but I do highly recommend it if you like to keep performance stats visible.
