I wrote in my personal blog some thoughts on SHIFT, a convergence-oriented shell that aims to adapt to every form factor: Mobile, Desktop, Gaming.

Mobile/Desktop/Console, here's a little preview of the Shell I've decided to call SHIFT. Is anyone like me obsessed with convergence? 😶

This is a sprint and a parallel research project I'm doing with a focus on desktop UX in a convergence-oriented environment. Would you like to discuss this little fork of #kde #plasmamobile with some #QML, C++, and #UX wizards?😶😶 #linux #mobile

Here's my little fork of #KDE Plasma-Mobile designed for a UX related to 2-in-1 convertible tablets. Still a work in progress 😅

My old, dirty laptop boots an #openSUSE image with my new, dirty desktop environment. I'll be making the repositories public soon, but if anyone out there wants to embark on a #Rust, #Flutter (tiny-skia), and #Smithay adventure, let's get in touch.

When people hear “new operating system,” they usually think of big consumer products: Windows, macOS, Android, iOS.

When developers hear “new OS,” they often think of hobby projects that boot, show a prompt, and stop there.

WEFT OS is neither of those.

WEFT OS — Post 3 is up: Why Servo, and why now?
If your shell is a web document, the engine isn’t a “dependency” — it becomes a foundation, with a governance model and an upstream workload attached.
I wrote about the Chromium/WebKit/Servo trade, and what “Servo gaps” actually mean for an OS shell.
