Why does a new open source OS project have to always shoehorn the entire GNU/Linux ecosystem with X11/Wayland, GTK, DBus and GNOME onto a totally different system?

The only positive takeaway from this is perhaps the learning experience in OS development. Other than that is there a point to this?

Call me a skeptic but the code isn't very confidence inspiring

Forgetting to run the formatter before git committing is not that big of a deal.

The promise of flutter is alive!

https://web.dahliaos.io/#/

This has the power to accelerate flutter desktop development in general. Really excited for both these projects.

Desktop environment made in JS? Hell will freeze before I will use such crap with material feel on it. ;)

Sorry I don't get the USP of this. Can someone explain what's the best of both worlds that is being offered here?

Thanks!

I opened the link. The only thing spoken to my screen reader was "enable accessibility". I pressed the button (it didn't accept space bar, but only enter) and it just announced an empty page.

I can't speak to the qualities of the os, but hopefully this won't be the entire a11y experience both on the website and on the os itself if both use flutter.

For the same reason UNIX actually won against much better OSes, copy paste of freely available source code, C is the JavaScript/PHP of systems programming languages and there were much better and secure platforms out there, including Multics.

However the power of free beer....
