  • rustdesk

    An open-source remote desktop, and alternative to TeamViewer.

  • Project mention: Why is remote desktop slow when host monitor is off unless HDMI cable is used? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10

    Take your risk to use it, it is not signed and verified by Microsoft, and you need to install the test cert to use it. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/6444#discus...

  • Weylus

    Use your tablet as graphic tablet/touch screen on your computer.

  • Project mention: Show HN: Another way to use an old tablet as an extra screen | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-06

    I've used Weylus [0]. It works over LAN, lets you control the mouse from your tablet. Sometimes it's laggy, but you can configure the resolution so it's not using too much bandwidth. I'm not sure if it's stable at all. Haven't used it on a regular basis.

  • Project mention: Linux version of Warp terminal is here | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-22

    Hi! I’m Aloke, an engineer at Warp.

    I’m really excited to share that Warp is now available on Linux! If you’re interested in trying it out, you can download Warp: https://warp.dev/

    Building Warp on Linux was quite an undertaking. Warp uses a custom Rust-based UI framework that we built in house and renders natively on the GPU. To get Warp running on Linux, we built a version of our UI framework that supports winit [1] as a windowing backend. We also built a version of our renderer that uses wgpu [2]. Reducing complexity by using these well-supported, cross platform, frameworks let us bootstrap a version of Linux quicker than expected and should make it easier to build Warp for other platforms (like Windows).

    Please let me know what you think! Happy to answer any questions, either about the product or about technical challenges.

  • Kooha

    Elegantly record your screen

  • Project mention: Video recording in Wayland (Gnome) is giving me all sorts of problems. | /r/linuxquestions | 2023-05-23

    Kooha, no matter what setting i change, gives me a recording with frozen images, i opened an issue in their Github, but it's been a week and no support https://github.com/SeaDve/Kooha/issues/242 And looking at the frequency of updates, the project looks unmaintained.

  • niri

    A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor.

  • Project mention: Zellij – A terminal workspace with batteries included (tmux alternative) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-05

    Taking it even one step further, I probably would really be better off managing the window tiling in my window manager, however, I still have yet to settle on a tiling window manager that works well enough under wayland and supports everything I need well enough to give up the Gnome shell. I did try https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri this past weekend and it's pretty great. niri is inspired by PaperWM. I used PaperWM for a while and it was pretty awesome but suffers from the same issue as all of the tiling extensions for Gnome shell: they are never stable enough for for my daily use because Gnome is a moving target and the gnome shell extension API isn't really up to the task of radically transforming the window management paradigm. Projects like PaperWM have too many downsides that are really difficult to overcome, despite their significant innovation and appealing UX.
