    basically I setup gtk how it is described on the gtk-rs.org site and official gtk guide https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/windows/ using msys2, for more details check this video it describes exactly what I did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUJFYOCbuDg
  • Is there a place where I can learn how to do low level system programming for Linux?

    You could make bar pretty easily with GTK. You should read up on the Wayland and GTK documentation. GTK has official bindings for C and Python, and there is gtk-rs.org for Rust.

  • How would I code a file manager (gui)
    1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 31 Mar 2021
    I wouldn't expect there to be a tutorial specifically for writing a file manager. (After all, the vast majority of people who write GUI apps for Linux never write a file manager.) But there is some documentation on how to write GUIs with Rust and GTK here https://gtk-rs.org/.
