None of them seems to be aware that "Dux" is not really a good word, because it's the name used by Benito Mussolini for himself.
It reads the same as calling this WM "Fuhrer". Not a good name choice.
Average look, from the software part, not mature enough compared to other setups such as hyprland or sway.
I think Mussolini commonly went by "il duce", while dux seems to be going back all the way to ancient Roman times, where it's a noun related to the verb for "to lead", meaning leader, essentially. It and its root gave us "duke", "duct", "produce", among many others.

Dux: "The top (male or female) academic student in a school, or in a year of school; the top student in a specified academic discipline."
And Führer means "driver", and the fact it means driver is irrelevant to why it would be a terrible name choice for a piece of software unless you're trying to appeal to a very specific audience. I'm not sure what point you think you're making.
both "driver" and "leader"
Don't be silly!
Driver is normally translated with Fahrer.
No one today uses Führer...
Maybe only a person born in 1929...
Dux is just Latin for leader, so it's the control center of your OS I guess. The app that's in charge. Why does everything have to be about fascism or politics?
As a control center of an OS it makes sense.
However, I can also understand that for some, words like DUX or Führer have a specific connotation based on where they are from, especially if it becomes personal...
Does it really read the same as Führer? Who thinks that? Just Italians?
I certainly didn't until you pointed it out.
