CuteFish is a new Linux desktop environment

CuteFishOS's stated goal is to make a better experience desktop OS". To do that they're building a new desktop environment (CuteFishDE') using KDE Frameworks, Qt, and KDE Plasma 5. This desktop will sit at the heart of a new Linux distro called CuteFishOS.

The desktop experience caters to beginners", rather than power users. As such, the devs have no (current) plans to add complex, edge-case, or convoluted settings and features. Like Ubuntu, the aim is to provide a basic set of sane defaults that just work" for most users.

There's room for a polished, stripped-down Qt alternative to KDE, but I'm not sure if this one is going to be it.
