Another Desktop Environment

Basic principles:

• oriented to skilled Linux users who understand how the system works
• minimize distractions
  • no large panels/launchers with a lot of useless info
  • minimize number of modal actions
  • fast finding and filtering of objects instead of hierarchical menus
• tile management for applications

Based on:

• Wayland
• sway
• custom apps

The project is the playground for my ideas about UI and testing solutions based on different languages and frameworks. In the first approach I try to made apps with Go + Fyne. For convenience short apps could made with C/Nim. Maybe later it could be revised. The way is misty.

Parts of solution

All backend applications of ADE use ade- as name prefix. Names of UI apps may vary.

• ADE Login & Desktop Manager
