From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What’s a graphical piece of software you wish existed or was better? (lemmy.world)

Hi Linux Lemmites. Recently finished up school and started working full time and kind of miss working on personal projects. I’m looking to try to make something in rust and try out gpui if I can figure it out or maybe egui. I also want to make something maybe even a handful of people would actually use as I find that motivating, so I ask what would actually be useful to you?

Edit: thank you all very much for the input, I think that maybe doing something akin to a “settings+” would be a fair target for me for a n initial project. If I make anything interesting I’ll make another post in this sub.

I understand why it doesn't exist because it's pretty niche and a shitload of work, but I wish there was a a really good dedicated 2D animation software similar to Moho Pro or Toon Boom Harmony on Linux. That's one of the only reasons I'm still keeping Windows around.

Also as a side note, don't trust Toon Boom. I bought a perpetual license from them that was super expensive, and then they switched to a subscription model and turned off my perpetual license.

Its funny because there is really good animation software on Linux. Problem is its difficult. But what it does is real good!

Cant say that and not mention the name my guy

Ok for example, and this isn't the only one, OpenToonz. It is the direct and open source descendant of the same software that Studio Ghibli used.

You would need to learn it. You would need to create your own custom pipeline workflows. And you would need to be an artist.

Kvm/libvirt windows vm maybe? It opens windows apps as linux apps, issue comes with using gpu but toonboom seems cpu and ram intensive?

You would just set it up normally in the vm then open the app through your start menu as you would normally.

Blender and davinci? Prob doesn't compare, but they run natively ar least.
