What are some exciting projects that you follow and hope to see progress on?
I’ll start!
- Wayland greeter on SDDM
- rust support on gcc
- more Wayland adoption (especially VSCodium & Firefox forks)
- Reproducible Build
- ReactOS
Cosmic
This one is really close!
- I don’t realistically expect to see any progress here but video hardware acceleration gaining first-class support in popular applications would be a nice dream. The one area Linux is complacent to be “inefficient”.
- One of the KDE devs has been working on some magic that might keep application state even after the desktop crashes.
- Chimera Linux.
Is Chimera Linux still under development? I thought that project died a while ago…
You must be confusing Chimera Linux with something else. The project had a new release over a week ago. https://chimera-linux.org/news/
NVK drivers for nvidia GPUs
- System76 Virgo
- CosmicDE
- Wayland in general
I’d love to see more work on Nvidia for wayland
Pretty niche, but:
https://github.com/canboat/canboatAllows me to interface a PC to a canbus in an efficient manner. I wrote an autopilot in perl using that, but I would like to see the project mature to the point where it is stable enough for production environments.
New season of One Punch Man
Mundane stuff for the most part.
- New releases for Alpine and Void.
- Newer packages being added to Void.
- Hoping for a Black Friday sale at Racknerd.
- Bug fixes to Node-Red.
- Flexible scaling of storage in ZFS.
I haven’t tried it personally but I found the link somewhere https://racknerd.com/blackfriday
I thought about going with them but I chose Hetzner instead.
It’s here! Thank you.
Hetzner’s reliability is starting to be questioned, and their verification process seems to be a pain. In not going to put critical loads up there anyway, so I suppose it’s fine. Thanks
Plasma 6
The cosmic DE
Wayland in XFCE (GOD, PLEASE HURRY UP)
Wine on wayland
VanillaOS 2
Nothing hypes me on the WIP projects.
Winlator. Being able to run Windows games via kISS is gonna make sbcs much more usable.
OpenSUSE Slowroll
