From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi Linux Lemmites. Recently finished up school and started working full time and kind of miss working on personal projects. I’m looking to try to make something in rust and try out gpui if I can figure it out or maybe egui. I also want to make something maybe even a handful of people would actually use as I find that motivating, so I ask what would actually be useful to you?

Edit: thank you all very much for the input, I think that maybe doing something akin to a “settings+” would be a fair target for me for a n initial project. If I make anything interesting I’ll make another post in this sub.

Qt version of cool GTK software: Nicotine+, Ardour (ahahah), Lutris, Cartridges

Qt software I would love to see graphically improved: QuodLibet, Falkon, Qbittorrent, KeePass

Others: PeerTube client, Syncthing client, Ardour+Kdenlive fusion (a good Video DAW is my wet dream), Lemmy for desktop

Qbittorrent desperately needs an easy way to change font size for us blind motherfuckers.

If you use the web UI, you can adjust the zoom in your browser.

WebUI has had exploits in the past, I wouldn't use it unless I had to.

I was gonna say QuodLibet. Strawberry is great but I really liked QL back in the day.

Oh yeah, a reliable Android Syncthing client would be awesome after the debacle with Syncthing-Fork lately.
