## What it is
Tyde is a full desktop environment for Linux/Unix built with the Fyne GUI toolkit in Go, following a material design aesthetic. It includes a window manager and can be installed as a selectable session in login managers like LightDM.

## Use cases
- run a lightweight Go-based desktop environment on Linux
- replace my current desktop environment with a Fyne-based one
- try a material design desktop on Unix
- develop or customize my own desktop environment in Go
- test a window manager in an embedded X window
- set up a simple desktop session with LightDM

## When to choose
- you want a simple, easy-to-develop desktop environment written in Go
- you like the Fyne toolkit's look and want it as your desktop
- you want a single-binary desktop that is easy to install and extend

## When to avoid
- you need a mature, feature-complete desktop like GNOME or KDE
- you rely on Wayland rather than X11
- you don't want to install external tools like arandr or connman-gtk for full functionality

## Facets
- artifact type: application
