A lot of really bizarre choices there.
With MauiKit essentially depending on KDE frameworks, abandoning Plasma 6 is a nail in the coffin.
I was never a huge fan of the NX design philosophy, because it felt quite disjointed, and not very well suited for neither mobile screens, nor larger ones, with how tiny yet spaced between everything is, but at the same time, variety is a good thing for people who did like it.
That being said, without first-party MauiKit support, Nitrux has no real benefits to offer, so it’s unclear what their plan is going forward
I just read up on what mauikit is, and it just seems like a pretty bad idea compared to Flutter. Flutter is shitty too, but it's shitty for the right reasons -- operating systems have pretty different UI systems and supporting many of them is hard. But it runs everywhere instead of just Linux and Android
