  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

    Yes, to add to what MaybeAStonedGuy is saying: Here's a recent (somewhat naive) check for the various rust crates that are packaged in nixpkgs: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/141368

  • com.discordapp.Discord

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • AppImageKit

    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.libera.chat

  • nushell

    A new type of shell

    There's also Nushell, which I've never used, which is similar to Powershell in that commands return structured data rather than text, but I believe has a more functional-inspired approach, rather than object-oriented.

  • flatpak

    Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework

    This is exactly what flatpak is trying to solve. A package and distribution system that works across Linux distributions.

  • flathub

    Pull requests for new applications to be added (by x80486)

    You can checkout flathub, a store based on this technology: https://flathub.org

  • sanoid

    Policy-driven snapshot management and replication tools. Using ZFS for underlying next-gen storage. (Btrfs support plans are shelved unless and until btrfs becomes reliable.) Primarily intended for Linux, but BSD use is supported and reasonably frequently tested.

  • SonarQube

    Static code analysis for 29 languages.. Your projects are multi-language. So is SonarQube analysis. Find Bugs, Vulnerabilities, Security Hotspots, and Code Smells so you can release quality code every time. Get started analyzing your projects today for free.
