The aim of MoonlightDE is to create a desktop environment compatible with low performance devices, and allow managing applications, data and hardware components, built following modularity, integration, lightness and simplicity principles, using open source technologies.
Create: A desktop environment compatible with low performance devices such as Raspberry-pi, obsolete computers, embeded devices and another devices where it will be impossible to use a modern desktop environment due to its higher memory usage.
Learn: As a young project we all are learning, so this is your opportunity to develop your abilities.
Experiment: Reusing components created by others you will be able to implement your ideas and create an unique desktop environment with relatively little effort.
Share: Modular focus followed by Moonlight desktop environment allows reusing its components in other systems, contributing to a common base creation for desktop applications in GNU/Linux.
