Top 18 Rust X11 Projects

  • Weylus

    Use your tablet as graphic tablet/touch screen on your computer.

    • Project mention: Show HN: Another way to use an old tablet as an extra screen | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-06

    I've used Weylus [0]. It works over LAN, lets you control the mouse from your tablet. Sometimes it's laggy, but you can configure the resolution so it's not using too much bandwidth. I'm not sure if it's stable at all. Haven't used it on a regular basis.

  • winit

    Window handling library in pure Rust

    • Project mention: Linux version of Warp terminal is here | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-22

    Hi! I’m Aloke, an engineer at Warp.

    I’m really excited to share that Warp is now available on Linux! If you’re interested in trying it out, you can download Warp: https://warp.dev/

    Building Warp on Linux was quite an undertaking. Warp uses a custom Rust-based UI framework that we built in house and renders natively on the GPU. To get Warp running on Linux, we built a version of our UI framework that supports winit [1] as a windowing backend. We also built a version of our renderer that uses wgpu [2]. Reducing complexity by using these well-supported, cross platform, frameworks let us bootstrap a version of Linux quicker than expected and should make it easier to build Warp for other platforms (like Windows).

    Please let me know what you think! Happy to answer any questions, either about the product or about technical challenges.
