There’s a new open source desktop environment angling for your attention called CuteFish.

Now, let me be clear: this project is very much a work in progress. I’m not going to focus on what it can or can’t do at this point. And thats not because I’m being lazy, but because by the time most people read this blog post bugs will have been fixed, new features finessed, and further improvements made.

Present functionality aside, CuteFish could be the start of something very good indeed.

So what it is?

CuteFishOS’s stated goal is to “make a better experience desktop OS”. To do that they’re building a new desktop environment (‘CuteFishDE’) using KDE Frameworks, Qt, and KDE Plasma 5. This desktop will sit at the heart of a new Linux distro called CuteFishOS.

The desktop experience caters to “beginners”, rather than power users. As such, the devs have no (current) plans to add complex, edge-case, or convoluted settings and features. Like Ubuntu, the aim is to provide a basic set of sane defaults that “just work” for most users.
