gokrazy VS qt

Switching to gokrazy[0] was the best thing I did for my Raspberry Pi uptimes. I think a lot of that is because it defaults to using read-only partitions so the common issue of SD cards falling over when you run apt upgrade no longer happens.

But I also think that gokrazy's simplicity and design helps it be just a solid, reliable foundation to build on top of.

The idea there sounds a lot like https://gokrazy.org/, which builds a minimal go userland, wrapping one or more user provided go applications, and bundles in a linux kernel.

Targets mostly at single board computers, and I think it downloads pre-built kernels (and bootloaters if needed), rather than trying to build them directly, since getting a working cross compilation toolchain set up and plumbed into the kernel compilation process is still a pain.

I've personally only used yocto/open-embedded for that which does nicely handle building the cross-compilation toolchain, kernel image, and modules. But it is kinda overkill for that task, being designed to build a whole userland too.

reminds me of https://github.com/gokrazy/gokrazy which does similar things.

https://gokrazy.org/ would like a word

Fun! We have support for running on gokrazy (https://gokrazy.org/) already, and that's probably where Unikernel Linux is more applicable for us, for when people just want a "Tailscale appliance" image.

I'll email you.

gokrazy exists! https://github.com/gokrazy/gokrazy

https://github.com/gokrazy/gokrazy for one example

Do these not work? (I haven’t tried them - non-rhetorical question.)

Could try looking at wails. I don’t really ever do any GUI programming, especially in Go. But it and Fyne are probably gonna be your best, easiest route. Though, I do know there are also bindings for Qt

Well, of course it does exist, you cannot use github URL like that, this one works https://github.com/therecipe/qt/tree/master/widgets.

I know of https://github.com/therecipe/qt, but I've no experience using it, so not sure how well it works. But normally if you feel handy with Go, I guess it should be easier than switching your development stack to C++.

there is also 3rd party examples list on their github pages https://github.com/therecipe/qt/wiki/Getting-Started#3rd-party-examplesdemosapplications
