Until now, the `cosmic-session` binary was directly invoked when
autologin was enabled. When a user logs in normally, the COSMIC greeter
performs some initialisation. That is done by the greeter running the
`start-cosmic` script shipping with the `cosmic-session` package.
This `start-cosmic` script is responsible for exporting the environment
variables for the user's graphical session and then it starts a session
of COSMIC.
So, when autologin is enabled, instead of executing the `cosmic-session`
binary, we will run the `start-cosmic` script to match user session
initialisation as closely as possible with a "normal" session.
However, there still are some missing pieces to the puzzle. Most notable
one of them is that the desktop portal keeps crashing with a
"ParserError" in context to the locale. I have not dived into this
puzzle piece yet.

Other Project Repositories
The sources of all official Nix-related projects are in the NixOS organization on GitHub. Here are some of the main ones:
- Nix - the purely functional package manager
- NixOps - the tool to remotely deploy NixOS machines
- nixos-hardware - NixOS profiles to optimize settings for different hardware
- Nix RFCs - the formal process for making substantial changes to the community
- NixOS homepage - the NixOS.org website
- hydra - our continuous integration system

Continuous Integration and Distribution
Nixpkgs and NixOS are built and tested by our continuous integration system, Hydra.
- Continuous package builds for unstable/master
- Continuous package builds for the NixOS 24.11 release
- Tests for unstable/master
- Tests for the NixOS 24.11 release
Artifacts successfully built with Hydra are published to cache at https://cache.nixos.org/. When successful build and test criteria are met, the Nixpkgs expressions are distributed via Nix channels.
Contributing
Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands of open issues and pull requests might seem a lot at first, it helps consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs describes how to build tens of thousands of pieces of software and implements a Linux distribution. The GitHub Insights page gives a sense of the project activity.
Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and Pull Requests.

Donations
The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a nonprofit organization, the NixOS Foundation. To ensure the continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking for donations to our organization.
You can donate to the NixOS foundation through SEPA bank transfers or by using Open Collective:
