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.

A simple GTK4 + libadwaita sound recorder. I know it's probably a 1 day task but we seem to lack a good modern recorder for my favourite DE.

P. S. I smell another downvoted to oblivion moment for liking GNOME

GNOME is great.

Would you take iced/cosmic or tauri? Or it really has to be a GTK4?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I want it to be a GNOME focused app so it should at least comply with all GNOME Circle rules

Sounds good, I'll consider it heavily as audio/gtk4 would be interesting

I just have a script that wraps pw-record and ffmpeg to transcode to a mp3 file. I'd also like a GUI for it tho

I must admit I do not understand what's going on in the first sentence but I do agree that having a GUI is good

Doesn't gnome already have this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It has an old GTK3 one
