Macora, a Linux desktop built as one Rust tree
A performance-first Fedora desktop environment that combines the compositor, shell, and bundled applications in a single Rust project.
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.
