• ish

  13 9,194 9.2 C

  Linux shell for iOS

  Project mention: Found these bad boys while cleaning out the garage. To make these required an all-day marathon torrent of the latest fedora release at a size of only a few gigs, followed by an installation process that took on average 5 hours each time. | reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace | 2021-03-02

  Apps like iSH, UTM, and other recent developments are more promising than ever.

  The systemd System and Service Manager

  Project mention: Systemd-journal missing when /var on separate ZFS dataset | reddit.com/r/archlinux | 2021-03-02

  Does your "naked" / have a /var/log/journal directory? It looks like from a GitHub bug report and the systemd-journald docs for the Storage key that systemd-journald blindly flushes to /var/log/journal only if that directory exists otherwise it waits until a signal is sent.

• GLFW

• AppImageKit

  6 6,274 7.2 C

  Package desktop applications as AppImages that run on common Linux-based operating systems, such as RHEL, CentOS, openSUSE, SLED, Ubuntu, Fedora, debian and derivatives. Join #AppImage on irc.freenode.net

  Project mention: Linux noob finally installed linux mint cinnamon | reddit.com/r/linuxmint | 2021-02-28

  AppImage is it is not installed in the traditional sense (it is just a file), everything is contained inside the file, and the only impact it has on your overall system is the amount of disk space the file occupies. With AppImage you can use several versions of an application simultaneously; for example, you could have/use the current stable release of Krita and the developmental release. Also, if you have the traditional (or flatpak or Snap) package of an application installed to your system, the AppImage will not interfere with them, as well. "Uninstalling" an AppImage is simply a matter of deleting the file. For more info see https://appimage.org/

• oni2

  1 5,432 0.0 C

  Native, lightweight modal code editor

  Project mention: using vim inside of visual studio code | reddit.com/r/vim | 2021-02-01

  I feel like you'd have a better experience with Onivim 2, which is a GUI editor that supports VSCode extensions and uses a libvim backend (a fork of Vim changed into a C-based API). Or, if you want to use VSCode, then VSCode-Neovim like someone else suggested.

• progress

  2 5,286 2.7 C

  Linux tool to show progress for cp, mv, dd, ... (formerly known as cv)

  Project mention: Is it better to use cat, dd, pv or another procedure to copy a CD/DVD? | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-01-24

  pv's progress display is very useful in many contexts, it has been one if the first things I make sure is installed on a new system for years, though I have recently come across https://github.com/Xfennec/progress which is brilliant for some times when pv is not an option or when you want to watch the status of several things which aren't convenient to arrange together via tmux/byobu. Or just for when you forget to use PV and don't want to cancel to change the command.

• GlusterFS

  Real-time microphone noise suppression on Linux.

  Project mention: Hushboard: mute your mic while you are typing | reddit.com/r/linux | 2021-02-19

  4 2,126 9.7 C

  htop - an interactive process viewer

  Project mention: Do any history logs last over reboots? Diagnosing weird behaviour. | reddit.com/r/linuxquestions | 2021-02-18

  For example, to display the utilisation of the main memory or the CPU (and thus, in the best case, to find the cause), you can use the tool htop. You may need to install this tool, as it will probably not be part of the default installation of Ubuntu (at least I assume so).

• picom

  open-source IEEE802.11/Wi-Fi baseband chip/FPGA design

  Project mention: Ask HN: How to get started with 5G as a software developer | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-03-02

  You could try the Xilinx ZC706 with an ADI9361 based FMCOMMS board. The OpenWIFI team has a few configurations listed on their readme that are popular: https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi. I think these setups will still cost >$1000USD and require considerable effort to get going - I don’t know of a

  Project mention: [Miniaudio, single file audio library] added support for spatialization | reddit.com/r/programming | 2021-01-25

• jailhouse

  1 1,317 8.8 C

  Linux-based partitioning hypervisor

  Project mention: Rust for realtime motion control. | reddit.com/r/rust | 2021-02-20

  Yeah, I think that is what something like https://www.toradex.com/computer-on-modules/apalis-arm-family/nxp-imx-8 is useful for, where it has a separate core. Or even on linux you can use isolcpus to get pseudo-isolation. There are also hardware hypervisors like Jailhouse (https://github.com/siemens/jailhouse) which can completely isolate hardware resources and I suppose might prevent the GPU from causing an issue with realtime task. But this definitely affects ease-of-use and probably requires a reduced feature set in the language (no dynamic allocations) and lots of unsafe code.
