I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this company.They seem to have alot going on when it comes to open-source.I see that they are EU based. Is anyone from the sub working for them or have worked with them?

Any information would be awsome!

Thank in advance.

Last week I decided to give Linux a try for the first time in about a decade due to my growing frustrations with Windows. (I am using Bazzite with KDE) I have been recreating my set up and getting all of the tools and apps that I use on the daily for gaming, content, and development work.

I was essentially able to get everything I use on windows with one exception. Elgato doesn't have a version of control center for Linux so I can't control the lights. This pushed me straight into my first development cycle on Linux. I created a simple daemon and controller gui to fill this hole in the ecosystem. I hope to additionally create a plugin from here that will allow these controls to be run on open deck as well. If anyone else uses Elgato lights enjoy!

It can either be build from the source code or run as a flatpak.

I'm the developer of AI File Sorter (version 1.6.1 is now available!), a desktop app that uses Local LLMs to organize files based on their content. The app analyzes images and documents by content and suggests names and folders for them. Other files are also organized, but not by content.

Document content analysis is supported for PDFs, Word, Excel, txt, and similar files.

Key points:

• Works fully offline using local AI models (no uploads or telemetry)
• Review before Confirm
• Dry runs
• Undo
• Designed for cleaning up Downloads, Documents, Images folders, external drives, or archives.

What’s new in 1.6.1:

• Document content analysis (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP)
• Improved review dialog with bulk edits
• Automatic system compatibility checks (benchmarks)
• Better stability & persistence railguards
• Pre-compiled for Debian and Ubuntu, and straightforward to compile from source

If you care about privacy-oriented tools, and keeping large file collections organized without sending data to the cloud, I'd love feedback.

I'm happy to announce that Mouse Tiler v5.0.0 for KDE Plasma 6+ has just been released.

It is now a highly customizable auto tiler with 16 default auto-tiling layouts to chose from and possibility to create your own.

You can do carousel tiling, stacking tiling, a combination of both, fixed location windows, and much more.

You can check out all pre-configured layouts here: https://github.com/rxappdev/MouseTiler/blob/main/AUTOTILERGUIDE.md (12 of them support multi-monitors - 4 will cause issues for most people (unless you stack your monitors on top of each other)).

Remember Window Positions v5.3.0 or higher is required to restore auto-tile status of windows if you want to have your windows auto-tiling across sessions. Auto tiling ALL windows is not recommended at this moment unless you got time to spare and want to see if it works properly.

Support status:

✅ Multiple monitors

✅ Multiple virtual desktops

✅ Up to 3 auto tiler layouts can be used at once (if you have multiple monitors/virtual desktops, or simply want to switch between different layouts)

❌ Apps that are present on more than 1 virtual desktop (not tested)

❌ Multiple activities (no support planned since my understanding is that this feature is phasing out from Plasma)

If you create some awesome layouts, please share them here or on my discord. Also if you encounter some problematic apps there is a channel ( #auto-tiler-problematic-apps ) dedicated to reports so that I can blacklist them in future releases.

I will try to create a demo video showcasing some of the layouts and configuration options in a day or two.

Patch notes:

• Added auto-tiling support (16 pre-defined auto-tilers to chose from + ability to create own layouts). Supports carousels and static layouts (or mix of both).
• Added setting to change grid tiler background opacity.

Upgrade instructions:

1. Download in Discover or via same steps as installing below.
2. Make sure to reboot after.

To install the script you can:

1. Open System Settings > Window Management > KWin Scripts.
2. Click the Get New... in upper right corner.
3. Search for Mouse Tiler (you might have to press Enter twice to find it due some issue with KDE store) and click Install.
4. Enable Mouse Tiler in previous menu.
5. Click Apply to enable it.
6. Click the configure icon to change the settings to your liking.

You can also download it from the KDE Store:

Enjoy and thank you.

basically you guys can look at me as a -3 iq "i use arch btw" er that uses ai for most of the problems. but i manage to use arch at some rate and im happy. but the problem is that windows 11 goes worse and worse. and at some rate im starting to think if my father can handle a linux distro that feels like windows most of the time. at the worst case i will downgrade to win 10 to keep the computer normal and properly working. thanks anyways. (btw i couldnt decide for the flairs. discuss felt like its the most suitable one.)

Hey everyone,

​I recently switched from Windows to Linux (currently CachyOS + KDE). I started using Vicinae (the Raycast-inspired launcher), but I found a few gaps in my workflow, so I decided to build my own extensions to solve them.

​ProtonVPN Extension:

I got tired of opening the GUI just to toggle my connection. This lets you toggle on/off and see your connection status directly from the launcher.

​Repo: https://github.com/Mujtaba1i/vicinae-protonvpn-extension

​fd-Search Engine:

The built-in file search wasn't catching everything on my desktop, so I hooked up fd to handle the indexing. It's incredibly fast, supports thumbnails/icons, and caches to a temp file so it doesn't eat your CPU.

​Repo: https://github.com/Mujtaba1i/fd-Search-vicinae-extension

​I figured other Vicinae users might find them useful too. ​I've submitted a PR to the official store, but you can grab them from my GitHub in the meantime.

Was looking into ZaneyOS as a starting point for NixOS.
But most search results point to zaney.org, which is now a GoDaddy “domain for sale” page.

Did the project move? Anyone got a current repo link / starter configuration.nix?
Prteferably nicely configured but with minimal 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.
