  • There are some really nice designs here. I really hope that KDE finally gets to pay attention to this. I love simplification of it.

    One thing I don’t like here is the login screen. There is too much stuff on it. I think gnome’s login screen, as it is now, is fantastic.

    And one more thing, proposal for mindset change: not everything has to be a widget. Some things (like shell) could have layouts: layout as current plasma/windows, layout as gnome, layout as Mac, layout as Win8… If things get well thought out, you can integrate this and switch layouts and not di*k around with widgets. Less moving parts, less problems.









  • This looks awesome.

    Looks like it could be a very good alternative to mutter and kwin.

    Questions:

    • what about Vulkan instead GL? Should be more performant and use less battery. Especially if it is meant to also work on mobile.
    • is Louvre drawing those window decorations?
    • there is some overlap with https://github.com/winft/theseus-ship - any idea for a collaboration there?
    • there seems to be a company behind, while I didn’t investigate, are there plans for further development that you would publish, is there a way to influence those plans (suggestions, donations, some other way)
    • any plans to make a shell around it?
    • it is mentioned that this is a library, but obviously there is a working compositor. Regardless if this is a technology demonstrator, would it be possible to publish a compositor with decent theming and a few distinct layer modes (classic windows with taskbar, windows 8 like, Mac, gnome, ubuntu). I guess many smaller Linux DEs would consider it then…
    • how does it compare to kwin/mutter?
