tl;dr: DEsk is a Wayland desktop environment for Linux that renders the UI as a skeuomorphic walnut desk, where windows are sheets of paper, the dock is a drawer, apps live in binders on a bookshelf, and the room is ray-traced on the GPU (with a CPU fallback). It bundles existing free software (Xfce Terminal, Thunar, Firefox, NetworkManager, etc.) rather than reinventing them, and ships installers for Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, and Fedora. The project is in beta (v0.1.2), MIT-licensed, and was largely coded by Claude under the author's direction.
