On the technical side, they are using pure Rust to build the DE, and the Rust GUI ecosystem has been greatly improved. If their product turns out to be successful, Iced may eventually become “the Qt of Rust”.
As a user I like their design shown in current demos, and a wayland-first DE with first class nvidia support is really needed.
NVIDIA graphics is already well supported by cosmic-comp for those that want to give it a go on Pop!_OS. I’m typing from a laptop with NVIDIA hybrid graphics in the discrete graphics mode. Hybrid and integrated graphics modes are also working well. In addition to the iced library, slint is already a decent alternative to QML.
I’m really looking forward to it.

A new toolkit that’s a genuine competitor of Qt would be nice indeed.
