Other than being able to do a minimal install? Nope.
Yes, you can dodge, parry and riposte now.
Aww yeah! Time to CRAM some memory!
Why I'd want that? What the community has to gain with this self imposed limitation?
It won't, sadly. All it took was a single baseless reply to throw this project into the trash can (see: the downvote barrage happening right after it).
At least I had fun doing this... so it's all good.
This is basically "winamp, but it plays (exclusively) .ogg files instead and is heavily optimized to provide the lowest CPU usage possible" -- there's an equalizer, playlist, a volume bar. A feature that minimizes CPU use when the application is on the foreground. And yes, the graph does work and is perfectly syncronized with the song. And all you see here are purely made of code -- no .png or .bmp files included, don't worry about it. And logically, no need to run wine or some other shoddy translation layer -- it all runs natively on your PC.
CPU usage is comically low, as you can see here (tested on a orange pi 5 max):
To unpack the file, download dependencies and compile (on a debian distro, while in the same directory as where the llamamp.tar.gz file has been downloaded): tar -xf llamamp.tar.gz && sudo apt install -yq build-essential pkg-config libsdl2-dev && make -j$(nproc). Install it with sudo make install.
Compatibility: Pretty much anything you've got. It runs on X11, wayland or on nothing at all.
How to use it: Run "llamamp /path/to/song.ogg" or use the playlist.
The raspberry is dead
Long live orange pi
t. Am typing this on my orange pi 5 max.
* YMMY obviously -- it'll be different if you run this on a literal potato. But it do be like that on a orange pi 5 max, however: https://i.imgur.com/WiKaszO.png
This nice little piece of software is the perfect mix between "I want to run something cool whilst at the same time something that is effective and runs everywhere" -- a Windows 95-themed application launcher that runs on either X11 or wayland (or even on nothing at all!) and provides all possible binaries on your distro from a list... which you can scroll up and down using your mouse scroll wheel or by clicking on the scroll bar (Yes, it works just like the one on Windows 95). Or you can type something, get a couple suggestions up and run the binary you want by either pressing enter or by double-clicking with the left mouse button.
That [X] over there? If you click it, it'll shut down the application window. Or you can press ESC.
Also, no .png, .ttf files or anything of the sort -- all the things you are seeing are purely made of code.
To get you a working binary, simply download the provided tarball on the link above (which I made it like that due to some folks finding it easier than repository cloning, so eh)... unpack it. Download the required dependencies (Type "sudo apt install -yq build-essential libsdl2-dev make" if you are on Debian), then type "sudo make -j$(nproc) && sudo make install" and then type "win95run".
This is under the "DO WHATEVER YOU WANT" license. Should be self-explanatory.
Truth be told, we've got a bunch of folk who enjoys yapping "way too much", but... most of those "criticism" are valid and should be taken into account -- Gnome is indeed bloated, and Ubluntu is both bloated and tries way too hard to be "the next Windows" with telemetry and the focus on software that gives the same "Windows-like" experience.
You've got a point there. Even if my approach of "Hey, you are free to think whatever you want about my project" has led me towards more "haters" than otherwise. But eh.
As someone who had lots of projects being flagged as "AI-made"...? OP is being smart of not making it the first thing to be read -- folks tend to "enjoy" overreacting way too much nowadays.
As someone who has been OOTL regarding self-hosting for the last few months... what is the -real- difference between Arcane and Portainer?
No problemo lad. Have fun.
Features: A dashboard that shows the current weather, a stock market feed, a "automatic" rss reader, a basic system monitor, a process tree, an app launcher... and also a jazz radio. While also providing a nice "matrix-like" aesthetic. In a nutshell: your "nerd's wet dream" you never knew you needed... until now.
"zOMG that is going to have horrendous CPU and memory usage!"
Guess what? Nope.
(Yep, that's the CPU usage of this nice little piece of software on a orange pi 5 max.)
Also, it works on pretty much anything -- may it be X11, wayland... or nothing at all. Yes, I love y'all as well, distro hoppers. :')
To download dependencies: "sudo apt install -yq curl ffmpeg build-essential libsdl2-dev make" if you are on Debian.
Controls are very KISS: Left and right arrow keys to switch between stock feeds (and you -really- don't need to do that since it switches automatically every three seconds, but I implemented it anyways since you really need to focus on one. You can press space to stop it from automatically switching however.) Up/down arrow keys (or left mouse clicks) to fiddle with the process tree. Press k to terminate a process and shift+k to force kill a process. J to play the radio. +/- to increase/decrease volume. n to change to the next station. Tab to focus on the mini app launcher -- type something, press enter to run or left clicks/up,down arrow keys to focus on a suggestion. Press enter or mouse double left clicks to run. Press ESC to leave the mini app launcher.
To compile it: After downloading all dependencies and unpacking the tarball, type "make -j$(nproc)" to create the binary. Then "./hackdash" to run it.
To "install" it: Copy the binary to its relevant directory with "sudo cp hackdash /usr/local/bin/.".
Hope y'all have lots of fun with it as much as I did on coding (and running) this beautiful baby of mine.
If this was the "Year of the Linux Desktop"... next year will be the "Year of the ARM PC's".
You are free to think whatever you want about this project. You don't need me to tell you what to think and/or judge regarding something.
- What it is
A "works on whatever I throw this in" solution as a system monitor (SDL 2= works on both wayland and X11. Plus, it doesn't even need a window manager to run -- which is breddy gucci.). It has a pretty rough memory usage (10 times as much compared to btop), but its CPU usage compensates for it.
- Who is this for
Mainly distro hoppers.
- Why
Because "it just werks" and is "futureproof"'ish -- might last a couple decades before it gets irrelevant.
-
Dependencies
Debian/Ubuntu : sudo apt install build-essential libsdl2-dev
Fedora : sudo dnf install gcc make SDL2-devel
Arch : sudo pacman -S base-devel sdl2
Alpine : sudo apk add build-base sdl2-dev
macOS : brew install sdl2
FreeBSD : pkg install sdl2 gmake
-
How to compile
After decompressing the tarball and downloading the dependencies,
make -j$(nproc)
Then run with
./notasysmon
That should do it. For more info, check the "README.md" file.
- What it is
A minimal, windows 95-esque application launcher... with fancy directory icons over binary name suggestions, mouse support (you can doubleclick a binary name to run it) and a real-time clock on the far lower right.
- Why
Nostalgia... and a "futureproof" likeness (If both X11 and wayland gets ditched/replaced for whatever reason... this will still work as intended.). Also, due to how it works on both X11 and wayland regardless of whatever you have installed. Yes, distro hoppers -- I heard your plea. :')
- Dependencies
Type "sudo apt install build-essential libsdl2-dev" if you are on Debian/ubuntu
- How to compile
After downloading and extracting the tarball,
make -j$(nproc)
It'll create a "notwin95" binary.
Then run it with ./notwin95.
- How to install
Type "sudo cp notwin95 /usr/local/bin/.".
- Commands
Arrow keys (up/down/left/right) or mouse left click to navigate between suggestions. Press enter (or mouse double left click) to run a binary. Press ESC to quit.
- Notes
I've tested this on a orange pi 5 max and the CPU usage was pretty much nil. So I'm sure all of you will have no problems/issues running it.
- License
This is under the "DO WHATEVER YOU WANT" license. Should be self-explanatory.
-EDIT- I forgot to mention this -also- can be run outside the window manager.
"Lonepalmtree" -- a (software) raytracing demo of a lone palmtree on an island. For ARM devices.
(lemmy.world)
A demo of a lone palmtree on an island, with a fps counter on the top left. The camera moves around freely, but can be interacted by zooming in or out. It has a day/night cycle of 5 minutes... with the shadow following along the sun/moon. It also has a soothing sea sound, plus the eventual seagull. If you want to make your ARM device "explode", this is it. Focuses on GPU usage.
Download dependencies (Debian): sudo apt install build-essential libsdl2-dev libvulkan-dev glslc
Requirements:
Vulkan 1.2
SDL 2
A GPU with compute shaders support
Keys:
Reduce render resolution with -, and + to increase it.
Zoom in with mouse scroll wheel up. And out with mouse scroll wheel down.
How to compile:
Download the tar file provided in the link above.
Decompress it
Download the required dependencies
Enter the decompressed directory
make -j$(nproc)
Then run it by typing ./lonepalmtree
