New : Kera Desktop Environment for LinuxLooks nice. Downloaded, untarred, ldconfigged etc. This is just a data point for you.
A single hacker has created a new Desktop environment with interesting features.

About two dozen super hackers might want to help get things out of alpha and into release.
"Currently, this is a product of a team of one. It’s me, Mutlu. I started working on this ten years ago. Eight years ago, I made my first appearance. Things happened, and I couldn’t find much time to work or someone to work with. I tried to create a proof-of-concept that was easy to understand and work with. Today, I believe I have finally achieved this, and I hope to extend the team and maybe have enough budget so that I can work on the project full-time. I hope Kera Desktop can go further thanks to the open-source community."

Slackware 14.2 on 13-YO GOOD hardware. Tried to start it in its own subdirectory. Got this message:
bb:/stuff/Kera>Kera-Desktop
Kera-Desktop: symbol lookup error: /stuff/Kera/lib/libnw.so: undefined symbol: gbm_bo_get_modifier
Flailed for a while and then deleted the whole thing.
Good luck with the project.

Normally, I'd love cutting edge stuff, but I recently nuked my
EndeavourOS install by accident, so I'm staying away from that stuff for
now.

Do you keep a separate OS partition? My recommendation is to have a
second one for trying alternative distros. Less chance of a)
breaking your user files, b) breaking the previous known-good OS.

The first hit in Google for that symbol is here:
puppeteer/puppeteer
https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/9669
"...reinstalling libgbm can solve this problem"
[generic buffer management API]
And you're on Slack, and maybe this kit wasn't aligned
with a Slack lineup.
Generally, when launching something, it helps to announce
what distro name and distro version it was tested under.
Then, if a person wants to get an initial build that
is "guaranteed to work", we know the success recipe.
Pictures of the desktop, are in-line here, once you scroll
down a bit. You don't need to build anything to look at it.

"Mostly web technologies. Kera Desktop is written in
vanilla javascript and does not rely on third-party frameworks
but uses some independent libraries."
"Does Kera Desktop only support web apps? [Progressive Web Apps or PWA]
For now, yes. Support for Linux apps is perfectly possible and
on the roadmap. For other platforms, we will see what's possible."
??? Making a smartphone out of a Linux desktop ? Um...
I think that's been done already.
And Google has a package so you can install ChromeOS on your PC right now.
I guess somebody likes the ChromeOS.

Oh yes, very little seems to actually work in this alpha build so not
much point in running it. Seems like the videos on the site pretty much
cover all that's implemented.

I gave it a quick try. I like the launcher bar on the left but these
days I only use search now to launch apps in any kind of "desktop" environment. The search on Kera can be starts from typing, as long as
the desktop has focus. So same difference compared to button press +
type.
I'm not really a fan of embedding apps in a bar. A quick peek at a
calendar works like that but does anything else? Weather maybe.
