  • Proton

    Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

  • is-odd

    Discontinued I created this in 2014, the year I learned how to program. All of the downloads are from an old version of https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch. I've done a few other things since: https://github.com/jonschlinkert. (by i-voted-for-trump)

  • steam-runtime

    A runtime environment for Steam applications

  • Haha I don't mind the downvotes. I know I'm right. And they know it's true. This issue in particular is part of the many reasons Steam had to come up with the "Steam Linux Runtime", a concept completely absent on Windows. 🤡

  • nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

  • Not really, unlike Guix and Nix, the traeoffs involved in those "container" solutions are actively detrimental to proper software packaging practices and potentially security. They also hinder reproducible builds and therefore binary verifiability and source trust.

  • guix

    Read-only mirror of GNU Guix — pull requests are ignored, see https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/guix.html#Submitting-Patches instead (by guix-mirror)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • ungoogled-chromium

    Google Chromium, sans integration with Google

  • And yet I can also provide two examples of beneficial tampering by a third parties: Firefox vs GNU Icecat (unfortunately up-to-date versions can only be obtained via Guix at the moment) and ungoogled-chromium vs Chrome & Chromium.
