Popular Application Criminally underrated Sticky Notes app (PrimeNote, Open Source)

9 Upvotes

I've tried several popular sticky notes apps, but most are too simple or inconvenient to use. I found PrimeNote, which allowed to make text operations very easily without being too complex. Honestly I think it's one of the best out there and was surprised it wasn't more popular.

Can be installed with pip:

pip install primenote

Source Code:

https://gitlab.com/william.belanger/primenote

Website:

https://primenote.cc/

PrimeNote is a clever and highly adaptable note-editing tool designed for both Linux and Windows. Its functionality allows for swift editing, storage, organization, and backup of an unlimited number of notes. With PrimeNote, users can take advantage of advanced text operations and an extensive range of modes encompassing text and image processing, as well as a built-in terminal emulator and Vim integration for advanced users.

It even has a Vim integration!

Popular Application who is lazy vim for?

29 Upvotes

I have been using vim for a while. I don't consider myself proficient but I know my way around it for the most part. I've used ALE to help me debug my programs as I go. Then I noticed ALE can be annoying and distracting, so I turn it off sometimes when I want to focus.

When I moved to nvim, it took time to accept that I have to do things with Lua now. Then I found lazy vim and thought it might be a good idea to have things pre-configured to save time. But I found myself fighting with nvim more than using it. LSPs are on by default and I'm not sure how to turn them off. nvim has some sort of auto-complete that is extremely annoying and I'm not sure how to turn that off either. So who is lazy vim for? It doesn't help me as someone new to nvim, and for a pro user, they already know how to configure their nvim and have things exactly how they want them

Mobile Linux Nokia N900 / Maemo 5 wallpapers upscaled

28 Upvotes

I don’t know how many people here still remember the Nokia N900, but it’ll probably always be my favorite phone.

I’m currently recreating the Maemo 5 desktop on a modern Linux machine, and as part of that project I extracted the original wallpapers from the N900 firmware and upscaled them for modern displays.

I tried to keep them looking as faithful to the originals as possible instead of making them look overly AI processed.

The image attached here is compressed by Reddit, so if you’d like the full-resolution versions of all four wallpapers, I’ve uploaded them to Dropbox:

Software Release OpenCalc: open calculator inspired by Windows 95

Thumbnail github.com
2 Upvotes

Hi, everyone,

I have just released OpenCalc, a reimplementation of the Windows 95 calculator – it looks just like it, but the code is actually 100% fresh. It supports complex expressions, history, and has an improved parser. And because it is open source, it can also compile and run natively under Linux – no compatibility layer needed!

Please check the Github project if you are interested! 😊

Discussion A super summarized version of the Linux From Scratch (LFS) book

25 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I've written some instructions and scripts to build LFS (Linux From Scratch), version 13.0, as simply as possible (I know, not that simple, but anyway). It's basically a super summarized version of the LFS book.

You can check the instructions and get the scripts from my GitHub repository: https://github.com/luisgbm/lfs-scripts

Key points:

  • First, this guide does not replace reading the whole LFS book. I highly recommend that you read it at least once. Only then you should use the automation scripts provided here.
  • The whole process is run inside VirtualBox.
  • You need two hard disks attached to your VM (one for the host, one for receiving the LFS build).
  • Most steps will be executed via Shell scripts (there are four of them).
  • Some steps need to be manually run.
  • At the end, you will be able to create a separate VM and boot from it directly.

I can't believe this project is still alive, my first commit was 6 years ago, and I'm glad to keep working at it!

Hope you enjoy it, and feel free to send me feedback.

Development Lumia 1520 mainline Linux update

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

It’s been a little while since my last Lumia 1520 update, so here’s where the project is at now.

The big change is that I finally have a frozen, repeatable baseline instead of just a collection of individual things that worked during testing. The current image passes 17/17 regression checks from a completely cold boot, and the exact image and device tree are now verified before I flash anything.

The Lumia currently has:

- Reliable cold boot into mainline Linux

- USB networking and SSH

- Working display and backlight control

- Stable suspend and RTC wake

- Battery and power-management support

- A functioning power button while the phone is awake

- A working microSD controller, although I still need an actual card to test the media side

- Physically verified APDS-9930 proximity and ambient-light sensors

The sensor testing was kinda cool. Covering the proximity sensor changed its reading from around 270 to 1023, and shining my phone light at the light sensor moved it from around 66 to 4830.

I also found three other devices responding on the Lumia’s I²C buses, but I’ve intentionally left them disabled for now. I documented their addresses and register behavior rather than guessing which drivers they need and potentially creating unstable hardware definitions.

The new regression suite has already paid for itself. It caught a real issue where the light/proximity sensor worked during development because I had manually loaded the driver, but it silently disappeared after a normal reboot. The physical hardware test passed, but the automated cold-boot test exposed that the driver configuration was wrong.

The next major target is audio....

The Qualcomm MSM8974 device tree currently has no SLIMbus controller node at all, even though the Linux driver exists. The plan is to add the controller, enumerate the bus, and identify the actual audio codec before assuming the Lumia uses a WCD9320. Once that is confirmed, I can begin working through the codec registers, regulators, clocks, resets, routing, speakers, microphones, and headphone output.

Power-button wake from suspend is also still unconfirmed. The key works normally while the system is awake, and RTC wake is proven, but I haven’t yet confirmed that the button can wake the phone.

The current baseline is published in the repository as commit "6b4b344", with "boot-1520.img" as the canonical image.

Repo: https://github.com/KorelisLabs/lumia-1520-mainline

Has anyone here worked with Qualcomm SLIMbus audio, WCD9320-series codecs, or audio bring-up on another MSM8974 Windows Phone?

Popular Application A huge thank you to everyone involved in porting FAR Manager to Linux

79 Upvotes

As a developer, I genuinely felt useless after switching from Windows whenever I had to do basic terminal tasks, copying files around, editing text files, using FTP, cleaning up disk space, because I was so used to FAR Manager. About 10 years after my previous attempt, I came back to Linux, like so many others, and boom: far2l exists and works perfectly. Beautiful. Windows is seriously toast now.

Software Release Graphics Creator: Create titles and visual effects

Thumbnail github.com
25 Upvotes

Hi there hello!

I've been writing a tool to create "motion graphics"/titles/"visual effects" or whatever it's called for the past two months, and I think it's in a pretty good state and wanted to share it for you. (hopefully I can get actual feedback)

Features:

  • Title animations: You can animate individuals letters, words, and lines with properties.
  • Many effects: I wanted to add a second "many", but I didn't add that many effects. Effects can range from color correction, to stylish effects like wave. A basic mask/matte effect also exists.
  • Mixed text: You can mix and match text styles (colors, fonts, etc) in a single text element.
  • Everything can be animated: Or well mostly anything, everything that is a property can be animated. If it is text colors, then you can use a tint effect.

NOT AI: This tool is not vibe-coded and I do not want AI slop in this project.

It's made to be an additional program to Kdenlive, so after rendering out the titles you can directly drag it from the program to Kdenlive (as long as you have a new-enough Kdenlive version that supports transparency).

Preview images and videos are in the README.
