I installed Cosmic on my current system following steps here.. https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch?tab=readme-ov-file#installing-on-pop_os BUT, I was reading somewhere else also, and that post said to not enable the Cosmic login screen, because it was buggy. So I didn't. I CAN NOT find that post, and i can't figure out what the *(!@&^%# I did. I want to know HOW to enable the Cosmic login screen. I believe I edited some config file.. don't know what... HELP please. Thanks!

What is this article How to install the Rust Cosmic Desktop environment on Pop!_OS?

Either, if you want to use the new COSMIC login screen, you can install the cosmic-greeter package:

sudo apt install cosmic-greeter

Once that is installed, you should be able to switch back and forth between cosmic-greeter and gdm3 with:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

and selecting whichever login manager you wish to use.
