To save other people the trouble:
The "fyne" framework is a Go UI toolkit, in a similar vein to Qt or GTK. It leverages Go's cross-compilation to compile for various architectures, and has built in utilities for publishing for the iOS/Android app stores.
This appears to be a desktop environment based on the UI toolkit.

But as a desktop environment, the design is far behind Apple, Gnome-shell, MS, even KDE.
