Rust: State of GUI, December 2022 – KAS blog
A pretty fun Rust GUI experienc is vgtk[0], which is doing a bunch of macro magic to give a "we're coding in React" vibe to GTK+. I don't really have a specific thing I want to code in a native GUI at the moment but if I did I think this would be the most tempting for me.

Code bloat has become astronomical
a stateful GUI markup language is react. it is not yet the case that react-like code works for desktop, though there are cool examples like vgtk https://github.com/bodil/vgtk

A declarative desktop UI framework for Rust built on GTK and GTK-rs
from what i gather from https://github.com/bodil/vgtk/issues/78, you're better off using realm
I'm always curious to see these projects, because I've been experimenting with a React renderer for the GJS bindings for a while. It's frustrating because GTK "feels like" it's so close to being able to support a vdom/declarative paradigm, but the devil is in the details.
The simple use-cases like "Window > Box > Label" are easy to get going. The more complex widgets like Stack/Grid/TreeView ... aren't.
This project seems to have the same issue: https://github.com/bodil/vgtk/issues/40
This is made more difficult now GTK4 has removed the Container base class, so there's no longer a unified interface for adding children (although it had caveats in the first place).
I totally get the GTK view that (presumably) specific widgets are more intuitive with specific add/remove APIs (like the grid - one doesn't really "appendChild" to a grid).
It just feels like: if there was a consistent container API comparable to the web's appendChild approach, a vdom/declarative approach would require only a very light wrapper. Without it, I keep coming back to the idea of implementing wrapper widgets that expose that consistent API instead. And that's just not something I want to maintain - effectively duplicating each GTK widget for the purpose of making it fit into a tree model.
It's also a problem of trying to wrap richer functionality (pack_start and pack_end) into a simpler set (append only) of course.
So I don't know exactly what my point is :) Perhaps cautioning the reader that the simplicity of the approach comes with a catch.

Ebuild Maintenance War Stories?
Turns out someone already made an issue about this upstream, and even made a working ebuild, although it was published to his/her overlay which is not listed on overlays.gentoo.org yet sadly. If you're curious what was wrong and how it was fixed: the github issue

Best option for Raspberry Pi 4 Music Streaming Server?
If it's just for music and you dig the look of TUI apps then musikcube has built-in server functionality. You install it on both the server and clients but keep the library on the server. It's light and works well, including for giant collections. There's apparently an android app too, musikdroid, but I haven't tried it. I haven't tried the windows or mac client apps either, so I can't vouch for any of them, but it's great on linux.

Cmus vs. Musikcube
VLC can be used to play a file from the command line, but there is no user interface. Players like cmus and musikcube have a text based interface and library management.

Can YOU identify this TUI music player?
Well, there's Musikcube. I think it's a solid choice over cmus.

I'm very unfamiliar with Linux and i saw this today and i really like the aesthetic of it and i was wondering if anyone knows what Linux this may be?
Dont know about the rest but the top left music player looks like musikcube with a skin on it. https://musikcube.com/
