Tech stack is pure Go with Fyne.io GUI toolkit compiled to WASM. Initial download may take a couple of seconds.

Desktop with a couple of embedded apps. Virtual desktops, screensaver and more. Proof of concept experiment right now - any suggestions of what to add?

A downloadable app creator that makes it easy for anyone to create and compile native apps that work on all platforms. Just pick your platform/processor on the download page and ex…

No. Fyne does not have any bindings and never will in the official project. The API is designed to work perfectly with the Go idioms and using it from any other language will be no…

Because I tried working on existing ones and it was painful. I wanted a modern alternative to exist that was approachable and fun. And once we have met existing systems we can star…

Any known CPU usage bugs have been resolved. Last time it was the cursor animation but we fixed that too. I can now compare our apps to OS provided native equivalents (we're not th…

I guess that's an interesting opinion to have. Is this based on having built your own desktop environment or some other project that led you to this conclusion? For me I prefer hig…

I don't understand this - are you calling me a marketing person? I started the project and continue to do most of the coding. Feel free to tell me I don't know what I am talking ab…

It is really easy to code on, supports lots of different platforms (including embedded and mobile devices). Some times established projects can be superseded with newer ones build …

Oh that is strange, I didn't realise it was different for internal vs external! I fixed my visibility but one of the team is marked as private for their own reasons. Basically the …

If you want to code everything in low level languages feel free. I guess assemblers still work well or you can just list machine code. For those who want a fast to learn and use hi…

Sure thing, we hang out on the Fyne Discord server https://discord.gg/uWPJpkKcR

Amazing comment and thanks for the support!

The project is being developed as a volunteer open source project because we think it should exist. There are 4 core members on the team https://github.com/orgs/FyshOS/people but w…

Ironically we have both of those on this Fyne Desk running in X. Tear free is provided by the compositor and the fractional scaling was never impossible with X it just had to be co…

Please check out v2.7.0 - the optimisations for mobile are amazing. Camera and services are coming in another release - work has begun. It's amazing what has been done with virtual…

Yes give it a play - we are trying to make it super easy to get into developing on the desktop environment. For example the modules on the panel or desktop are basically just funct…

Perfect :) there are so many great projects and that conference introduces some excellent looking apps.

Plans shifted due to external factors - the next release will be X11 but after that (later this year) work begins on the Wayland transition. Ideally we will support both through th…

Just make and make install in the root of the source is easiest then log out and pick it from your login screen. However if you want to try it in development mode you can “make emb…

You can expect work to begin on that after the upcoming major release. We are waiting on a fix in an upstream library.

Oh yes, I didn’t mean to knock the language - I also worked on amazing things in Java before I moved to go. But the runtime of a Go app is, by default, faster than Java and my expe…

My ambition is for it to be the best desktop for developers or people learning to code. We are integrating an app editor into FyshOS which (although now renamed and at https://appt…

In the last few months we have added a built-in compositor, a new screensaver, file manager integration and a bunch of optimisations. Seems like pretty decent progress to me.

That was a really cool project but yeah the Java couldn’t hack it. FyneDesk aims to compete on performance with the light weight window managers whilst offering the rich experience…
