Are there any open source projects that need contributors?
If you want to look at something a bit bigger I can also suggest looking at Fyne (the toolkit that I’m working on and using to build the app): https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne

Why Golang instead of Rust to develop the Krater desktop app
Tauri is definitely a hot SEO keyword!
I had not heard of https://wails.io before for Golang GUIs, only https://fyne.io which renders its own controls.

Understand how to use C libraries in Go, with CGO
And this is how https://github.com/go-gst/go-gst, https://github.com/go-gl/glfw, and even https://fyne.io/ are using system libraries to propose a lot of functionalities.

Code for accessing portals in Go?
It would be great if we could add support for Flatpak portals in https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne but I find the portal documentation complicated (especially if preferring to use D-Bus instead of accessing libportal using C). Does anyone have code examples for using portals from Go code?

Expo – open-source platform for making universal apps for Android, iOS, and web
If you fancy Go, there's Fyne. I don't work in the space so I cannot judge it.

Do these not work? (I haven’t tried them - non-rhetorical question.)

My first idea that I want to write in Go
Could try looking at wails. I don’t really ever do any GUI programming, especially in Go. But it and Fyne are probably gonna be your best, easiest route. Though, I do know there are also bindings for Qt

Well, of course it does exist, you cannot use github URL like that, this one works https://github.com/therecipe/qt/tree/master/widgets.

Want to create a non-bloated linux app
I know of https://github.com/therecipe/qt, but I've no experience using it, so not sure how well it works. But normally if you feel handy with Go, I guess it should be easier than switching your development stack to C++.
