Ekupheleni konyaka odlule, sabelana lapha kubhulogi izindaba mayelana umzamo owenziwe abathuthukisi bephrojekthi ye-Nitrux, ivuliwe ukudala indawo entsha yedeskithophu ngomkhiqizo wabo futhi manje namuhla (ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva) bakhiphe inguqulo yokuqala ye-alpha yendawo yomsebenzisi we I-Maui Shell.
Lena indawo yedeskithophu ithuthukiswe ngokomqondo we "Convergence", okusho amandla okusebenza nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezifanayo kuzo zombili izikrini zokuthinta ze-smartphone nethebhulethi kanye nezikrini ezinkulu zamalaptop nama-PC.
I-Maui Shell ivumelana ngokuzenzakalelayo nosayizi wesikrini nezindlela zokufaka ezitholakalayo, futhi ingasetshenziswa hhayi kuphela ezinhlelweni zedeskithophu, kodwa futhi kuma-smartphone namathebulethi.
Uma usebenza kumamonitha ajwayelekile, igobolondo lisebenza kumodi yedeskithophu, enephaneli egxilile phezulu, ikhono lokuvula inombolo engafanele yamawindi nokulawula ngegundane.
Uma ifakwe isikrini esithintwayo, ikesi lisebenza kumodi yethebhulethi enesakhiwo sokuma ngobude namawindi avuleka kusikrini esigcwele noma esakhiweni esiseceleni esifana nabaphathi bewindi elinamathayela.
Kuma-smartphone, izinto zephaneli nezinhlelo zokusebenza zinwebeka zibe isikrini esigcwele, njengezinkundla zeselula ezivamile.
Igobolondo elifanayo lingasetshenziselwa amadeskithophu, ama-smartphone, namathebulethi ngaphandle kokuthi udale izinguqulo ezihlukene zamadivayisi anezici ezihlukile zefomu. Isibonelo, uma usebenzisa i-Maui Shell ku-smartphone noma ithebulethi, igobolondo likuvumela ukuthi uguqule idivayisi yakho yeselula iyenze indawo yokusebenza enikezela ngomuzwa ogcwele wedeskithophu uma uxhumeke kumonitha, ikhibhodi, negundane.
I-Maui Shell isebenzisa izakhi ze-MauiKit GUI kanye nohlaka lwe-Kirigami, ezithuthukiswe umphakathi we-KDE. I-Kirigami isuselwe ku-Qt Quick Controls 2, kuyilapho i-MauiKit inikeza izifanekiso ze-UI ezakhelwe ngaphambilini ezikuvumela ukuthi udale ngokushesha izinhlelo zokusebenza ezijwayelana ngokuzenzakalelayo nosayizi wesikrini nezindlela zokufaka ezitholakalayo.
Le phrojekthi futhi isebenzisa izingxenye ezifana ne-BlueDevil (ukuphathwa kwe-Bluetooth), i-Plasma-nm (ukuphathwa kokuxhumeka kwenethiwekhi), i-KIO, i-PowerDevil (ukuphathwa kwamandla), i-KSolid ne-PulseAudio.
Umphumela wolwazi inikezwa kusetshenziswa umphathi wakho oyinhlanganisela I-Zpace, enesibopho sokubonisa nokubeka amawindi nokucubungula amadeskithophu abonakalayo. I-Wayland protocol isetshenziswa njengephrothokholi eyinhloko, esisingathwa yi-Qt Wayland Composer API.
Ngaphezu kwalokho I-Zpace, igobolondo le-Cask liyabulawa, esebenzisa isembozo esimboza konke okuqukethwe kwesikrini futhi sihlinzeka ngokusetshenziswa okuyisisekelo kwezinto ezifana nephaneli ephezulu, izingxoxo ezizivelelayo, amamephu esikrini, izindawo zezaziso, iphaneli, izinqamuleli, isixhumi esibonakalayo sohlelo, njll. . Ngokungeziwe ekusebenziseni i-Maui Shell phezu kweseva yakho eyinhlanganisela ye-Zpace, kungenzeka futhi ukusebenzisa igobolondo le-Cask ngokuhlukana phakathi kweseshini esekelwe kuseva ye-X.
Okokuqala ukukhishwa kwe-alpha okumakiwe kokusebenza okuyisisekelo kwegobolondo le-Cask kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezinto ezithile zamadivayisi anezinhlobo ezahlukene zefomu. Kanjalo kungezwe ukusekelwa komsindo, i-bluetooth, itimu emnyama, amawijethi okulawula inethiwekhi, ukudlalwa nokukhanya.
Olunye ushintsho olugqamayo kule alpha ukuthi i-ejenti esekelwe ku-PolKit yengeziwe ukuze yenze izenzo ezikhethekile kanye nekhono lokushintsha isithombe sangemuva sedeskithophu kanye nokulungiswa okuguquguqukayo kwezinhlelo zemibala kunikeziwe.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, futhi kuqokonyiswa lokho wengeze uhlelo ukuqalisa iseshini startcask-wayland kanye nezinsiza ezidingekayo ekusebenzeni kwayo. Iphaneli yezinhlelo inikeza ukubuka kwekhasi langaphambili lezinhlelo zakho zokusebenza ezisetshenziswa kakhulu, uhlu lwezigaba zohlelo, ukulanda kwakamuva, nezinqamuleli zokufinyelela ngokushesha.
Ekugcineni, kufanele kushiwo lokho ngoJuni, kuhlelwe ukwenza inguqulo ye-beta, okuzothuthukisa ukusebenza kwe-Cask, ukunikeza umphathi weseshini, ukukhiya isikrini, isistimu yokuphatha amandla kanye nekhono lokulawula ngezinqamuleli zekhibhodi. Ukukhishwa kokuqala okuzinzile kuhlelelwe uSepthemba 2022.
Kulabo abathanda ukufunda okwengeziwe ngayo, kufanele wazi ukuthi ikhodi yephrojekthi ibhalwe nge-C++ ne-QML futhi isakazwa ngaphansi kwelayisensi ye-LGPL 3.0 futhi ungabheka imininingwane ebhalweni lokuqala. Kulesi sixhumanisi esilandelayo.
