We also may install Hyprland with ML4W Dotfiles DEV 2.9.9.3 along with Cosmic Beta DE on CachyOS. Apparently pre-loading  Hyprland virtual instance and performing actions causing trouble for Cosmic creates some shared objects in virtual machine RAM serving in particular the target of normal switching between folders contain desktop wallpapers  and afterwards we may work for a while in Cosmice DE instance preserving ability to manage Cosmic Desktop with no issues visible at first glance .

I have to notice that the only CachyOS provides a straightforward setup of Cosmic Beta DE vs an other clones of Arch Linux . Say Garuda Mokka or Manjaro Linux for instance
