It’d be great if you could address that issue! For my part, I’ll try to get with at least one test to make sure the approach is viable. Then I’ll need help to write new tests and to improve things here and there. Also, for 1.0, we had also messed up with things like MATE. I’d like us to have system tests for the desktops we propose: GNOME, MATE, etc. That would mean at least ensuring that a config like that of ‘desktop.tmpl’ allows us to log in via GDM, and then to start a terminal in the desktop (I suppose we could do that using the keyboard, with ‘marionette-type’ etc. NixOS tests are a good source of inspiration: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/tests/gnome3.nix Help welcome!
