  • davinci-resolve-linux

    Setup Davinci Resolve on Linux an Fix Issues with Importing and Exporting Media

    > I'd love to see an alternative world where everything has an equivalent open-source software that people can switch to

    Keep in mind that software doesn't need to be open source to run on Linux. Developers can still support the Linux ecosystem by porting proprietary software to Linux.

    Examples of proprietary Linux software that is used professionally:

    - DaVinci Resolve (video editing suite): https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/

    - Bitwig Studio (digital audio workstation): https://www.bitwig.com

    - JetBrains Rider (IDE for .NET): https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/

  • EfiGuard

    Disable PatchGuard and Driver Signature Enforcement at boot time

  • kdmapper

    KDMapper is a simple tool that exploits iqvw64e.sys Intel driver to manually map non-signed drivers in memory

    I don't know about malwares but online gaming cheat developers have been using a signed driver from Intel that has a vulnerability allowing to load any unsigned driver. Despite the exploit being discovered back in 2016, the driver certificate is still valid as of today and works with Windows 11.

  • okteto

    Develop your applications directly in your Kubernetes Cluster

    Yes, but unfortunately if you want to use something like Okteto[0] it requires the microsoft plugin. There are other third party plugins and tools tightly bound to the Microsoft ones making them unfortunately unusable.
