Quoting: Nitrux Shows Off a New Desktop Approach Other Distros Might Want to Take Note of —
Don't think that this move came out of the blue. Nitrux has been busy building this up since last year, when it swapped out KDE Plasma for Hyprland and told everyone that they were headed towards 'a new beginning' that was not for everyone.
The project now has a name for what it has been creating, the "Workspace Environment." It ties together four new in-house developed components as pieces of a five-layer architecture, presenting a very different desktop experience for Nitrux than we are used to.
Uri Herrera, Nitrux's founder, describes it as filling a gap, where a window manager gives you almost nothing beyond window placement and a full desktop environment like GNOME or Plasma bundles everything into one tightly coupled process tree.
