  • Project mention: Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers | dev.to | 2024-03-27

    Ventoy is an open-source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. Using Ventoy, we can create live USB for multiple distros in one flash disk. This is a revolutionary feature compared to other tools, e.g., Etcher, Rufus, etc, that can only create one live USB at a time. This tool is so important. Don't call yourself a distro hopper if you don't know this tool.

    After installing https://ish.app for Alpine Linux emulation on iPad, one immediately comes up with use cases, even though it's excruciatingly slow.

    Hopefully Apple opens up the imminent M3 iPad Pros to run macOS and Linux VMs.

  • cosmopolitan

    build-once run-anywhere c library

  • Project mention: Python Is Portable | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-15

    The reality is a bit different, the work on Python 3.6 was checked into the Cosmopolitan repo and I have been able to use it for production workloads that are in pure python. [0]

    As Cosmopolitan Libc has evolved, it has been possible to compile more software without modifications, and that includes latest Python through a project called superconfigure[1].

    Last person who tried to reproduce it from scratch did it last week (granted it too them a few days of solid work) but in the end they ended with a portable binary with Python 3.11.9, brotli, ssl and asyncio for their work related project.[2]

  • Project mention: What Is Wrong with Enterprise Linux | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-20

    I fully agree, moreover this:

    > Rolling release distributions like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed follow upstream much more closely while still maintaining stability through thorough automated testing

    Shows the author hasn't used Tumbleweed for any reasonable amount of time himself[0][1][2]. I daily drove it for a short while before moving to Fedora.

    It's not fixed.

  • i3

    A tiling window manager for X11

  • Project mention: Show HN: Chrome Reaper | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-19

    While I believe Memory Saver was a great improvement, it only works if the tab is hidden or the window minimized. I recently learned the required state is not triggered if the tab is open but on another virtual desktop. At least this is the case with many of not all Linux window managers. Some of the many discussion threads on the topic:

  • Project mention: GoboLinux | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-28

    What you're looking for sounds like AppImages (https://appimage.org/) . I have only used them while downloading games from itch.io, etc. (since i prefer package managers) but they seem to work out of the box on popular distros.

  • htop

    htop - an interactive process viewer

  • Project mention: Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06

    These certainly aren't forgotten, but I like:

    * `ranger` file manager: https://ranger.github.io/

    * `ncdu` for visualising disk usage: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu

    * `htop` process monitor: https://htop.dev/

    I just find them very intuitive, and information-dense while not being overwhelming.

  • Project mention: How do i install mango hud on pop!_os? | /r/pop_os | 2023-11-16

    I want to install Mango hud so I can use it for steam and lutris but when i go to https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud the so many ways of installing it I don’t know which one to choose for pop!_os. I did try a couple but it didn’t seem like it worked because when I put the launch command in one of my Steam games which was cyberpunk I didn’t see it pop up in game and when I tried to add the command to Lutris the option for the FPS counter was still grayed out. Can someone help me step-by-step on how to install mango hud on pop!_os? Thanks.
