Domicile: A Chromium-Based Desktop Environment for Linux
Domicile is a new desktop environment based on Chromium that allows integrating native applications and websites into a unified interface, with customization via CSS and support for multiple Linux distributions.
Domicile is a new desktop environment based on Chromium, designed to function as a Wayland compositor. This project uses a modified version of Chromium to render the entire desktop interface as a web page, allowing native applications and websites to integrate smoothly.
The Domicile desktop environment is not a direct replacement for GNOME or KDE Plasma, but it leaves the management of bars, windows, and appearance to a customizable shell. Each shell can be created as a web page, which allows for great flexibility in configuration and design.
Domicile includes features such as support for native applications, integration of Chrome extensions, and the possibility of customizing the interface via CSS. Additionally, packages are available for several Linux distributions, including Fedora, openSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux.

The compositor handles functions such as screen locking and notifications, while the shell is responsible for the visual appearance.
Who is it for?
The target audience are Linux users seeking alternatives to traditional desktop environments, especially those interested in the integration of web and native applications.
Our recommendation
