OpenFDE is a new Linux desktop environment design exploration project. Similar to KDE and GNOME, it aims to provide a cohesive Linux desktop experience from login to running applications. However, what sets OpenFDE apart is its graphical component based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project), which brings a richer ecosystem of applications and games to Linux. It offers a consistent user experience with Android and Linux applications and introduces a unified and innovative approach to Linux desktop application development, providing a fresh perspective on using Linux desktop environments.
