Oh man. This is really interesting. Might have to try it out. I have been experimenting with Fyne and like it. Been wanting to mess with customizable DEs but hate the whole headache of setting most up. Go makes things doable for me.

Yes give it a play - we are trying to make it super easy to get into developing on the desktop environment.

For example the modules on the panel or desktop are basically just functions that return a `fyne.CanvasObject` so it's basically just like making a panel in a Fyne app :).

Perfect! I'll be sure to pop in later today, I'm on Arch Linux, currently using Wayland, so this will be interesting!
