This is great news. My subjective view of the desktop on linux is that: I find Gnome and Unity to be, frankly, quite unusable and hard to get into a place you can use. Sway is neat but requires skills and plenty of configuration. They really follow the unix way, which means you'll need a solid 3 days of work to get a desktop experience you enjoy. KDE is a fine desktop experience with ok defaults which can become great with a tiny bit of configuring. You can see a lot of lack of polish and half baked product ideas from the 4.0 ear. I get it, it's OSS and people will pick the problems they like to solve. Not many people get excited about figuring out the optimal amount of padding in UIs and almost everyone would like to invent something novel - like KDE's activities, on which I wasted a significant amount of time, just trying to get them to disappear forever from my desktop. Qt is definitely the most mature and complete solution to write GUIs in the world but the Rust bindings are barely working and something like conrod-core could be a good base for a desktop. Having a profitable making money creating a polished linux desktop experience sounds simply amazing - and exactly what we need. Hopefully between this and Valve's work on the SteamDeck, things will improve for the linux desktop.
