Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A performance-first Fedora desktop environment that combines the compositor, shell, and bundled applications in a single Rust project.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

Macora puts the compositor, shell, and bundled applications in one source tree, allowing window tabs, panels, notifications, and application styling to share a rendering and token system. The page reports 60.0005 fps across 151,000 frames in a 42-minute session, plus 535 workspace tests. It also identifies substantial gaps for a pre-alpha project: no input methods or accessibility layer, experimental multi-monitor support, and no packaged installation route.
