Hi, I've been using Claude to start hacking on A GNUstep based Desktop called ambrosia. This is designed to be a more mac-like desktop. I'm targeting Objective-C-2.0, blocks, arc, and Wayland Backend. My approach is to create a new Wayland compositor targeting GNUstep/NSMacintoshMenuStyle and I'll be trying to resurrect the WildMenus code on Wayland. There's not a lot to show at this point so here's a pretty screenshot of the dock application. SystemPreferences.app will be extended with modules for all configurations. The window management code is broken but it is starting to show applications. This Dock screenshot is from Wayfire not ambrosia-compositor.[image: Dock.png]
