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.

Taking your ideas for my next linux app (lemmy.world)

I'm bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.

How about a Linux (or even multi platform) version of Stereoscopic Player?

An HDR calibration/troubleshooting tool for KDE.

A port of SignalRGB, or a similar app that allows me to set up RGB using a GUI interface where I can arrange the lights to match my physical setup with my mouse. OpenRGB is too cumbersome.

A proper port of Nvidia Control Panel with no features missing (I especially need the 3D settings screen and RTX video enhancement settings). Or ressurect ATI Tray Tools and add more features for both GPU manufacturers. Nvidia X Server is woefully inadequate.

I'm not sure at all why to use Rust for a desktop app unless it's something super complex and demanding like a browser (the motivation for developing Rust in the first place). Otherwise use a garbage collected language that handles more bookkeeping for you.. Also the GUI toolkits so far aren't written in Rust afaik.

Hmm would a GUI toolkit or even a window system (X or Wayland server) in Rust count?

Otherwise I mostly want libraries and CLI programs rather than GUI ones. Or a kernel module. Like rewrite btrfs in Rust since the C version is still full of bugs after all these years from what I can tell.

A "stupidly minimal" cli package that monitors power usage in real time. Bonus points if it is written in C++, with zero dependencies.

I would love a radarr/sonarr style app but for YouTube with sponsorblock built in.

edit: sorry I missed where you said desktop app
