dahliaOS is a good concept

[@jacobedsell8850]

My cousin is a developer of this project. He is still in High School and I believe many of the other devs of this project are as well. As it stands this OS is unfinished, yes. However, he's been working on this since he was like 13. Taking this into account, this is freaking impressive as hell that a group of young and intelligent developers can make a functional lightweight OS.

[@dabelu7165]

Funny enough, I bumped into his github yesterday, snooping this project. I was amazed a kid so young was building SO's. Give your cousin my props ;)

[@curious.lad.369]

Honestly it looks amazing, it still has a lot rough edges, but i really like the way those flutter apps look. It seems to be very touch friendly and its good for desktop too. Hopefully they continue their work. This DE or cutefish might replace gnome for me one day.

[@curious.lad.369]

@Watcher yes it seems to me like flutter is great option for desktop apps. It is amazing this really could push for more apps come to linux, because a lot of developers use it to build mobile apps and with little effort they can bring their apps to desktop as well. I would take this over chromeOS any day.

[@yot3605]

It’s impressive that all this was made with Flutter

@@Remigiush123 na its not good. on mobile devices the notification and options pane is designed to save space on screen and display as many features as possible. on a desktop that has a large screen tapping the wifi icon should directly show all the available wifi connections it should not open a pane. desktops don't need panes like that unless its touch device. Even then there are better ways. pane on the bottom right. na na na definitely a design Hazzard.

[@experimental0000]

Definitely has a ChromeOS + Windows 11 + KDE Plasma + System76 Rust-based Cosmic DE look/feel to it. I like it quite a bit more than I thought I would. It'll be interesting to see KDE themes/customization that will be coming out now that this is getting traction.

[@ChristianMiller94]

It's also has some Android feel. For example Settings submenu icons, circle Settings option icons like in Android 11, QS tiles like Android 12, Search Settings bar is above the Settings page like Android UI's on tablets. Just a few things I noticed.

[@steventechno]

Seems like a pre-alpha build. What’s working looks very nice, but it’s far, far from ready to deploy on a production environment. It’s great to see new DEs come out. Sure, GNOME, Cinnamon,KDE XFCE are all great and all, but it’s nice to see something fresh.

[@anmol3457]

Pangolin looks to me like a fork of the Zorin Desktop. I look forward to it becoming more complete. Looks promising.

[@thewickedkarma69]

Nope, it's a DE made from scratch using Flutter framework

[@acelennygaming]

Very interesting and pretty, ever if it is essentially just a prototype/V0.1 Alpha.

[@ColdFlameEcosystem]

In Dahlia OS everything you are seeing now is just a single application. It's even not a multi window app. It's just giving a fake experiece or a desktop enviornnmebt. There in no window manager in it. But I like it

[@redumptious2544]

This looks really promising!! Great video.

[@Diaruemnus]

A lot of the UI issues that you're facing feel like issues with insufficient graphics acceleration inside the VM. If you have bare hardware to try this on, I think you should revisit exploring this.

[@TechHut]

It didn't want to boot right on any of the hardware I tired this out on. I will revisit this in a few months for sure.

[@carbonatdcaffeine]

Hey @@TechHut dahlia dev here. Graphics issues are being sorted currently, AMD graphics drivers have been refusing to work for some reason. If you have anything Intel based (with integrated graphics) we'd recommend you try that. Thanks, Camden

[@hengamer]

Looks like a cool project, especially for mobile devices.

[@ChimeraX0401]

I'm interested in using this but only if it consumes less resources as peppermint during idle. I really need a distro that doesnt sacrifice as much features in exchange of lower consumption of resources....

[@AbdullahAlMamun-mc4nq]

Linux mint need more of this. There feature is all robust but they don't solve the date and time issue . You can not do change linux mint time easyly

[@haziqsembilanlima]

if it's based on flutter UI-wise, might worth it changing some design elements to be Material v3 to have a faux android 12 UI :P

[@qibcentricsplayground2043]

dahliaOS looks like a mish mash of windows 11 with Samsung Dex UI i actually dig it tbh

[@shafayat1004]

Disappointed with that sad "buddy" this time! On a serious note, The UI is absolutely going to be tablet friendly. I just hope they don't rely too much on the Flutter defaults, like where just 3 buttons/tabs span the whole screen. But damn this looks nice.

[@Rotceev]

Pangolin sounds like it is Benedict Cumberbatch inspired Penguin.

[@carbonatdcaffeine]

BRUH, true. Pangolin was inspired by Fuchsia's previous user interface called armadillo.

But can you run traditional X GUI applications? It does look like it is just a full-screen web browser with the DE running as a website.

[@talkysassis]

I'm translating this to Portuguese. It's an amazing project for sure.

[@XZYSquare]

this os is what happens when a linux user makes a windows 11 clone with a few modifications to make it look a little more like windows 10; linux version this overall gives me a android 7 desktop feeling when it comes to animation style
