Could you build this?
Partial Building a desktop dock requires specific knowledge of Linux Wayland protocols, layer-shell integration, and Hyprland IPC, which AI tools struggle to coordinate reliably without deep systems debugging.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires Rust using libraries like `wayland-client`, `smithay-client-toolkit` with `wlr-layer-shell`, and Hyprland's socket-based IPC protocol. The hard parts include handling Wayland protocol surface lifecycles, smooth animations across multi-monitor setups, and low-latency system event dispatching. Developers need low-level Linux graphics stack and Wayland protocol expertise.
