Note: before a colossal task like this is undertaken, it should be determined if it's A: feasible and B: desirable. A professional and time-tested file browser like the ones shipping in these multi-billion$ operating systems is not easy to replicate. They are stable and reliable (I assume) so I don't want to bite off more than I can chew.
I think that desirability is largely determined by how light of a performance footprint Karta could have when it's not running its more intensive systems such as rendering, operators and so on. If it can be as light and simple to use as Nemo, then it stands a chance to be used as someone's main file browser.
