Show HN: Vela, a New Linux Desktop Environment
Image: Hacker News (Newest)

Hi, take a look at this.
I didn't like KDE nor KDE Themes, so I made Vela, a new stacking desktop environment, and even though this is not very inspired in terms of aesthetic, this is not the point of Vela (not yet).
Point of Vela is mostly architecture: Vulkan 1.4 only, no OpenGL fallback; based on wlroots, but has a custom renderer.
GPL3 license.
Vela is currently at 0.1.0 beta after one month of Alpha testing. Tested and working both on AMD and Nvidia. You need of course a GPU Supporting Vulkan 1.4 and nvidia proprietary driver.
Currently looking for active users and contributors, even for translations. Thanks
