At some point/place I heard it was going to have a ribbon type thing flow down menus. This would help follow stuff in deep drill downs. Really wish someone had done it. https://store.kde.org/s/Opendesktop/p/1080563/ https://store.kde.org/s/Opendesktop/p/1080563/ Personally, I think this OS has promise if it could get more modernization. It’d be nice to have another OSS GUI with some leanings into UI/UX. Edit-modernizations like cross compatibility with linux, would be my guess. Think linux subsystem with gui support? Wonder what else… Edit2-maybe throw in some modern stuff like swift (the apple language), zfs/bcachefs, and definitely a way to leverage already extant drivers.

BeFS is its own awesome thing. Sure, ZFS integrity and portability is nice, but the speed and metadata of BeFS is great.

  Sure, but adding metadata to zfs would probably be easier than modernizing BeFS. Just in general as FSes are very worthy of being a project unto themselves. Thinking of low lying fruit to get maximum value easily. BeFS doesn’t have to go anywhere either.

    Dominic Giampaolo (the author of BeFS) did essentially that with Spotlight (also the author of Spotlight) on HFS & APFS (also the author of APFS).
