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.

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.

An open-source Resilio Sync alternative (not syncthing) that centers around the folder represented by unique hash, without any device management

I simply would like to have a non-browser based Lemmy Client. :/

Are there really none for Linux yet?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

I stumbled upon two or so, but they were abandoned early on.

I've just tried building Thunder for desktop and it works fine so far without any tweaks nessesary. In fact I'm writing this comment using this very build.

If there's interest I might be looking into turning this into a proper flatpak.

Implement a wireless file transfer protocol that works with Apple's Airdrop and Android's Quick Share.

In other words Airdrop for Linux that works with both iOS and Android.

Create a software tool with UI that allows syncing of a phone with Linux to copy over photos, documents, music etc.

Must work with ios and android

1 is great.

for 2: syncthing is exactly this.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think Syncthing specifically does not work with iOS.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

That can be true, I don't know. Apart from that, the suggested app is exactly what Syncthing is.

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

Voice assistant that allows to perform common tasks like setting up calendar events, sending emails, opening apps, etc. Bonus points for "connect to server abc" and the assistant would open the terminal and ssh to abc server.
