What is this using as it's GUI, and file manager etc ?

  It's using Qt and they're writing their own file manager. I didn't check whether they're starting 20 years behind by using X11.

    Are you suggesting they should have chosen Wayland? I think they have a good argument against it: "Wayland: Under development since a long time, it offers no clear advantage over Xorg while it makes things more complicated (e.g, breaks screen recording) --> Use Xorg instead, or (maybe even better) no X server at all but pure framebuffer (like *ELEC does for media centers).

      If you think those are good arguments then... enjoy helloSystem I guess.

        I am a total newbie in this area. I thought the gist was compelling, demonstrating a lot of screen recording apps that can't or won't support Wayland.

          Those apps just haven't been updated to use the proper APIs.
