So, long story short, I set up my Raspup desktop and it got me thinking about this question (by suggestion of a friend who knows about FatDog nonetheless).
Can there be or will there be a Fatdog version for Raspberry Pi models? 
Will there be a Raspberry Pi version of FatDog?

Re: Will there be a Raspberry Pi version of FatDog?
There was, once upon a time, a Fatdog for Raspberry Pi and many other ARM platforms.
I still use it personally, but it would be fair to say that it's relatively ancient and does not see much update anymore, as I don't have much time to spare like before.
I still refuse to say it's dead ... but I'd just say it is in cryogenic stasis for now

Summer indeed, 34 degrees already in my room. But it won't affect liquid-nitrogen-cooled stasis ...
@don570 - thanks!

My version probably doesn't support the Raspberry 4 ???
There is a version of MXLINUX that I would recommend.

No it doesn't, because I don't have the kernel for Raspi4.
If anyone can find a kernel + kernel module.sfs for that, then it would work.
The rest of the OS is rather platform agnostic.

needing to draw the entire screen to memory before it can display it, it is quite demanding in terms of RAM, and can only run properly on a Raspberry Pi with 2GB or more. As a result, on Raspberry Pis with less than 2GB, the older openbox window manager is still used instead. (This does mean, unfortunately, that on those systems, tooltips will now have square corners. Which is another answer to the question, “so why didn’t you move to GTK+3 years ago…?”)
