From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Or better yet, design a modern gui in gtk/qt.

There's also a great TUI in libredefender, also written in Rust.

Maybe one that is written in Rust with Iced toolkit? This could play well into System 76's laptops, for people coming from Windows and expecting an Antivirus tool. I mean at least there is a commercial motivation behind it, so it might get written fast (given how fast they develop the COSMIC desktop environment).

You can combine both widget toolkits in one app‽
