From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't have any doubt about the Iced framework.
Having worked with it personally, I can say it is 10x more clear what's going on once you have lots of code than something like Gtk. Like Rust itself, it just feels good to program in, and the final product is so much easier to maintain bc good practices like separation of application state from the view code are built into the design.
If people like to program in it, you'll get more apps and more support. It's that simple
