lumina VS fyne-cross

Well of course they're not trying to replace macOS, for instance, but when an OS gets big enough to have offshoots and different front-ends and desktop environments and so forth, one would assume there are at least experimental attempts emphasizing ease of use, just like there are experiments to develop offshoots for any other purpose, from power users to pen testers. At least like, someone's toy project on GitHub or SourceForge. I just assumed BSD was big and well-established enough to have such efforts.

Besides GhostBSD, looks like there's also Lumina, and TrueOS/Project Trident?

Oh, you might also look at the Lumina desktop which strives for minimal dependencies and portability across Linux+BSDs.

You might be interested in Lumina.

DBus was used only in this part of the code, also i wanted to follow what lumina is claiming about not using linux frameworks.

Names are hard, but not to be confused with Lumina Desktop?

There are at least two more independent Qt-based DEs: Lumina and Deepin. Also, MATE and Cinnamon are forks of GNOME.

There are some more qt ones but no clue how actively they are developed: Lumina, cutefish, Trinity...

Using https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross makes it super simple to cross compile to other systems and architectures as well.

There may also be some hints in the Docker config that fyne-cross uses for compilation? https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross

The setup should be pretty straight forward, you just need Go and Docker (as per the docs https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross) after that you compile the downloader and it makes an app you can install like a normal native app.

I would personally say that the best option at the moment is Fyne (https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne). It provides a very easy to use interface with easy portability and cross-platform support. All applications can easily be cross-compiled using https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross and a lot of developer information exists on https://developer.fyne.io/.

I think it’s the best for Go because it manages to bring a very easy to use API and still allow for a lot of flexibility. Your app will run on all major desktop operating systems (even NetBSD and OpenBSD with the upcoming release) but also on mobiles. It doesn’t suffer from the same issues that bindings to C-libraries (like GTK and Qt) have and is also super easy to cross-compile using https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross.

Fyne is much better when it comes to cross-compiling that GTK+3 will ever be. The GTK+3 binaries are not statically linked and thus needs a lot more GTK+3 dependencies installed on the target system compared to Fyne which basically needs nothing (just a GPU driver, but you’re not very good off without one either way). Fyne also allow you to cross-compile using https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross with ease, taking care of all of the heavy lifting.

Yes. Fyne-cross has support for building for the Android target. https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross
