  • Great to see the video progress. Hoping to see more with sound support soon as well. Iā€™d love to be able to more easily work with libraries like OpenAI Whisper under WSL once issues with soundcards in WSL [1] are addressed.

  • btrfs-windows

    WinBtrfs - an open-source btrfs driver for Windows

  • ext4 I don't know, but if you're willing to go with btrfs: https://github.com/hbs7/btrfs-windows

    Note that I didn't try it but it looks amazing. There's even some mad lad that uses it to boot Windows.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • game-engine-3d

    Planimeter Game Engine 3D

  • I haven't looked at DirectX 12's documentation, but I really should. Khronos Group's Vulkan Samples are broken out of the box, crash on a fresh build, and the Hello Triangle API sample crashed when you minimize it.

    It took me over 700 lines of C for a minimal replica.[1]

    I'm not a fan of Vulkan not having a built-in compiler for shaders compared to OpenGL. I'm sure there's a superior technical reason for it, but I don't care because it's ruined my development experience, and reintroducing the behavior requires a sizable increase in CMake dependency overhead.
