There have always been lots of Window Managers for Linux. Even when I
started using Linux in the early 2000s there was
GNOME
KDE
Enlightenment
WindowMaker
FVWM
IceWM
BlackBox
FluxBox
Sawfish
AfterStep
XFCE3
AnotherLevelUp
AmiWM
TWM
MWM
just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are more I'm not
remembering from the early 2000s.

Normally, I'd love cutting edge stuff, but I recently nuked my
EndeavourOS install by accident, so I'm staying away from that stuff for
now.

Do you keep a separate OS partition? My recommendation is to have a
second one for trying alternative distros. Less chance of a)
breaking your user files, b) breaking the previous known-good OS.

"Mostly web technologies. Kera Desktop is written in
vanilla javascript and does not rely on third-party frameworks
but uses some independent libraries."
"Does Kera Desktop only support web apps? [Progressive Web Apps or PWA]
For now, yes. Support for Linux apps is perfectly possible and
on the roadmap. For other platforms, we will see what's possible."

The first hit in Google for that symbol is here:

"...reinstalling libgbm can solve this problem"

And you're on Slack, and maybe this kit wasn't aligned
with a Slack lineup.
Generally, when launching something, it helps to announce
what distro name and distro version it was tested under.
Then, if a person wants to get an initial build that
is "guaranteed to work", we know the success recipe.
Pictures of the desktop, are in-line here, once you scroll
down a bit. You don't need to build anything to look at it.

??? Making a smartphone out of a Linux desktop ? Um...
I think that's been done already.
And Google has a package so you can install ChromeOS on your PC right now.
I guess somebody likes the ChromeOS.

Oh yes, very little seems to actually work in this alpha build so not
much point in running it. Seems like the videos on the site pretty much
cover all that's implemented.

I gave it a quick try. I like the launcher bar on the left but these
days I only use search now to launch apps in any kind of "desktop" environment. The search on Kera can be starts from typing, as long as
the desktop has focus. So same difference compared to button press +
type.
I'm not really a fan of embedding apps in a bar. A quick peek at a
calendar works like that but does anything else? Weather maybe.
