helenOS

Quote

HelenOS is a portable microkernel-based multiserver operating system designed and implemented from scratch. It decomposes key operating system functionality such as file systems, networking, device drivers and graphical user interface into a collection of fine-grained user space components that interact with each other via message passing. A failure or crash of one component does not directly harm others. HelenOS is therefore flexible, modular, extensible, fault tolerant and easy to understand.

Since this is a today I've learned I will learn about helenOS just like you, when you follow the links

Micro kernels can be very interesting

Kernel programming lore

Orientating myself in the kernel lore

I haven't looked at the linux kernel source in too long a time. I just grabbed a section that was on top and started reading and learning

Source code is nice to read IMHO

TIL about adw-gtk3 an unofficial GTK3 port of libadwaita.

It's a theme usuable for many DE and can make your GIMP look very nice too

GIMP uses GEGL. I will briefly quote; I want you to seek GEGL data yourself at their site. It's a wonderful architecture

Quote

GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) is a data flow based image processing framework, providing floating point processing and non-destructive image processing capabilities to GNU Image Manipulation Program and other projects (imgflo, GNOME Photos, iconographer, …)

GIMP site also has interviews with the programmers. Go and seek

GIMP v3.04

It was this early morning, when I tried to fire up GIMP, I noticed that I had forgotten to install this magnificent gfx tool kit.

I ran apt install gimp immediately

I've been using GIMP ever since it came out, decades ago (spawn 1995). Even though the UI was totally different from what I was used to, adaptation was fast and my fluency in use of GIMP increased fast. I like working in GIMP

The GIMP is 31 years old

Quote

In 1995, Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis began developing GIMP as a semester project at University of California, Berkeley for the eXperimental Computing Facility.[8] The software was originally named the General Image Manipulation Program

GIMP v0.54 was first released in 1996

Over the decades I've seen a lot of users emitting futile complaints about the GUI, the use of many windows / viewports, while I can easily transition from closed source software on client's machines, to the GIMP, just by switching the mindset regarding the UI. The logic behind UI decisions is easily traceable.

GIMP has so many functions, I know of nobody who knows how to use all of them.

You should learn what you need to do, get fluent into those tasks, and learn more when you need more. This mind set also works in VIM, which has a massive ammount of functions and commands to make not only your programming in different languages more pleasant, it also has subtle assist functions which makes your source entries even more enjoyable.

GIMP always gives me consistent performance and I can rely on the keyboard shortcuts without having to use the mouse to select functions brushes, et all.
GIMP is for me a must have in my photo correction work flow. I've never relied on closed source software for those tasks, GIMP always has similar functions, many working even more efficient with your computer's CPU / GPU resources.

For the Love of GIMP

next section moved to seperate toot

Note:
I've always known that Open Source programs can be trusted better than closed source equivalents, something you all know when it comes down to the big photo manupilation suite, which enshittifies everything for its paying users.

GIMP shall always have its users back

You can trust GIMP

TIL about couchDB

I am going to play with this DB on one of my distributions. couchDB scales from massive all the way down to mobile

Lenovo
TIl about an interesting OS option by Lenovo, on their notebook computers. Logical yet interesting and expected

You get an *Open Source* OS by default from Lenovo. No more win64 as default

If you want closed source you have to **ask** for it and pay the _hefty premium_ that microSoft's microslop demands, for their LLM infected, malware like OS. Lenovo wants to sell it's notebooks for the best price possible if you want an OS, and microsoft does not meet those demands anymore (for a while)

find . -name '*.qml' | xargs sed -i 's/\(import [A-Za-z0-9.]*\)[ ]*[0-9.]*/\1/g'

Which translates to "please remove all versions from import statements in my #Qt QML files"
