I tried this out for fun a few releases ago. It was a mess. I've kind of lost track on why this is even a thing anymore, but anyone involved want to weigh in?

Its written in Rust, is a completely new code base so not held back by tech debt, and is a clean DE while still being fairly customizable even now.

I personally don't care why system76 felt the need to code a new DE from scratch, Im just glad they did it. It has given us a whole new ecosystem of GUI toolkits, apps, etc. for linux written in Rust.
