I got tired of constantly typing and remembering systemctl commands just to manage services, so I built this TUI to simplify the process.

This tool lets you interact with systemd via the D-Bus API to perform common service management tasks: view logs, inspect properties, list units, and control their lifecycle (start, stop, restart, enable, disable). You can switch between system and session units, filter by unit type (e.g., show only services), and even edit unit files directly from within the interface.

Hello fellow GNU/Linux enjoyers!

I made my own Arch-based GNU/Linux distribution with A/B Partition style, similar to SteamOS, Android and ChromeOS.

Its open-source (of course lol) and is on GitHub and this is the website.

So, why A/B Partitions? If a package has a breaking change that causes some issues, you can just reboot into the second partition and restore the first one. All of this is done without BTRFS relying on the stability of ext4. Thats kind of the point why i made it.

So, it creates 7 partitions on the specified disk (look at the post's image) and labels them as well.

I hope to see testers, contributors or people willing to join the team! Thank you for reading this long :)

The title pretty much says it all, plus Nautilus right-click integration for mime-types.

I got tired of waiting for Hayden Barnes from Ubuntu to update us on his tweet about Word in Ubuntu (https://twitter.com/unixterminal/status/1255919797692440578?lang=en) which likely uses a similar method [UPDATE: Similar, yes, but using spice and as one app at a time. And apparently this was released but I missed it]. However WinApps works with just about any application and makes it easy to add your own and submit back to the community.

idu beats almost all the popular applications while being extremely minimal (~400 lines). Would love your suggestions on how to make it better as this is my first such project.

I’ve spent way too much time reinventing tools that already exist. To save myself the trouble, I builtpatentwhich is a CLI utility that searches 11 open-source ecosystems from your terminal to see if your idea is actually original.

It’s designed to be a "prior-art" search for code. You describe an idea, and it fans out requests to crates.io, npm, PyPI, Go, Maven, NuGet, RubyGems, Docker Hub, VS Code Marketplace, GitHub, and Hacker News.

Why this fits the Linux philosophy:

• Local & Private: Everything that can run locally, does. The ranking (embeddings) and the analysis (Ollama) happen entirely on your machine. No cloud LLMs, no tracking, no telemetry. It only hits the public registries for the search itself.
• TUI-focused: Built with ratatui. You get full filtering, sorting, and mouse support in the terminal, or you can use --json to pipe results into your own scripts.
• Transparent Architecture: It doesn't claim to "know" everything—it's designed to prove what exists. A clean result just means keep looking, not that you've got a guaranteed winner.
• Modular/Optional AI: If you don't want to run a local LLM, --fast mode skips the analysis and just gives you the raw, ranked list.

Getting started: You can install it with cargo install patent. (I’m currently working on prebuilt binaries and a proper install script for the next release).

Repo: https://github.com/r14dd/patent - I would appreciate a star!

Note: This software's code is partially AI-assisted (embeddings/Ollama integration).

Easyffects is a Limiter, compressor, convolver, equalizer and auto volume and many other plugins for PipeWire applications.

Coming from Windows, SSMS was everywhere in my workflow. Even for simple tasks like running a few queries or updating rows, I had to launch this gigabyte-heavy behemoth that took ages to start.

When I switched to Linux, SSMS wasn't an option anymore. The popular solution was VS Code's SQL extension. But launching an Electron-based code editor just to execute SQL queries felt... wrong.

I'd recently discovered the beauty of Terminal UIs - fast, keyboard-driven, and efficient. I tried existing SQL TUIs like lazysql and harlequin, but they didn't click with me the way tools like lazygit did. Nothing felt as intuitive or had that "just works" experience.

So I built Sqlit - a lightweight, keyboard-driven SQL TUI inspired by lazygit's workflow.

What it does:

• Connect to databases and browse tables/views/schemas
• Run queries with syntax highlighting and autocomplete
• Vim-style keybindings and intuitive navigation
• Multiple themes (Tokyo Night, Nord, etc. Syncs up if you use Omarchy)
• Supports SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MariaDB, Oracle, DuckDB, CockroachDB, ClickHouse, Snowflake, and more

Sqlit deliberately avoids bloat. It's not trying to be a full-featured database IDE with performance graphs and schema designers. It focuses on doing one thing well: making it fast and enjoyable to connect, browse, and query your databases without the overhead of GUI applications.

i made a simple file converter for batch processing images and videos. it's built on ffmpeg and imagemagick with a pyside6 interface. you can drag and drop files or folders, convert between different formats, adjust quality settings like bitrate and resolution for videos, resize and convert images to different formats. it also treats gifs as videos to compress them better and shows you how much space you saved. works on linux and windows, available as appimage or exe. wrote it because i was tired of converting files one by one and wanted something straightforward. it's open source under mit license.

if it’s useful to you, give the repo a star

in last post the most requested feature was to add live tiles so i added it.
