"Jetpack Compose" is a Google library released as part of androidx (https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose). It was built to be the next generation UI Toolkit for Android. "Jetbrains Compose" is a bit of a misnomer which came about due to a leak where screenshots of the new IDE plugin (which admittedly had a slightly miss-leading header) made the rounds on twitter/reddit before the official documentation, leading people to speculate and disseminate that name. The official title is "Compose for Desktop" and it is a Jetbrains port of Jetpack Compose to support windows/mac/linux (https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose/).

I think the core should be free of android (And is already because it runs on desktop) So i would vote for Compose for Desktop. And hopefully the core UI components would be free of any platform so that it is just compose
