Looking for people crazy enough to help with a Linux Desktop Environment.

The project is already fairly well underway, but it’s the kind of idea that benefits from curious, experimental minds.

The stack is… modern (lol):
Rust, Flutter, Wayland.

If you like weird ideas, desktop environments, or just want to see where this madness goes, feel free to reach out 👀

@23DSP Idk. I prefer to not buld my stack on Google software that no one is willing to maintain if Google drops the project

@katzenmann
The “Flutter is Google-centric” take usually comes from people who never actually looked at the repo... bloggers 🙄

Flutter development is fully public, the main repo has 1,600+ contributors, and a large amount of ecosystem work happens outside Google. PRs, reviews, and discussions are all in the open.

It’s also BSD-3 licensed, which means anyone can fork and maintain it independently. If Google disappeared tomorrow, the code and ecosystem would still exist.

@23DSP If that's the case then I spoke bullshit and apologize.

@katzenmann I'm the one who has to apologize. I'm short, but there's a lot to say, and there's a language barrier. Your doubts are well-founded, and Google is notorious for fueling the very doubts you've expressed. What I've listed above mitigates the problem you've described. For example, Flutter's rendering pipeline has a "tax" of about 30 MB of GTK3 libraries; however, some public Sony repositories offer ways to avoid carrying this obsolete burden and "talk directly to Wayland."
