📰 Rudra is a new keyboard-driven launcher for GNOME Shell
The world isn’t short on keyboard-based Linux launchers. Albert, Ulauncher, rofi and GNOME Do (if you’re old enough to remember that one) are among those I’ve written about in the past. Rudra is a new spin on this old staple – albeit without the extensibility dedicated quick launchers provide. What’s different here is that it’s implemented as a GNOME Shell extension, not a standalone app.

Tiling Shell
Advanced Window Management for #Linux#gnome desktops
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7065/tiling-shell
A GNOME extension for advanced window management. It's highly configurable and offers different ways of tiling and managing your windows. The focus is on delivering the best user experience, highest stability, and full customization.
It also works with multiple monitors (even if they use different scaling), comes with a number of tiling layouts built-in but there is a layout editor to allow you to create and save customs layouts.
Tiling Shell also features the Snap Assistant, borrowed from Windows 11: just move a window to the top with your mouse and the Snap Assistant slides in and you can place the window where you want and how you want.
* Automatic tiling
* Fully customizable keyboard shortcuts to tile, move windows, change focus and more
* You can also move the window to the edge of the screen to tile it
* Right click on the window title to place the window where you want and how you want it
* Coming soon this week, Windows Suggestions: after tiling a window you get suggestions for other windows to fill the remaining tiles

Tiling Shell supports GNOME Shell 40 to 47 on X11 and Wayland.
📰 GNOME extensions are basically required, but they're a ticking time bomb for Linux desktops
The unpredictable nature of GNOME extensions, lacking a standard rulebook, often leads to instability and crashes.

📰 Your GNOME desktop can do what Hyprland does, and you don't need to switch
You might think you need a new Linux desktop to get a tiling window manager, but GNOME can give you that with a single extension.

Bill Gates 和 Linus Torvalds 首次同框
2025-06-23 16:55 by 时间的地图
Windows 和 Linux 世界的两大巨头此前从未在现实世界里见过面。最近 Sysinternals 创始人 Mark Russinovich 举办的一个晚宴上,Linux 内核作者 Linus Torvalds 和微软联合创始人 Bill Gates 首次同框。照片中共有四个人,其他两人是 Sysinternals 联合创始人、现微软云计算平台 Azure CTO Russinovich,他在 1990 年代后期开发了一组工具 Process Explorer、Autoruns 和 Procmon,对管理员和安全专业人士理解 Windows 内部机制产生了革命性影响。另外一人是 OpenVMS 核心开发者、Windows NT 内核和硬件抽象层的首席架构师,被誉为 Windows NT 之父的 Dave Cutler。Russinovich 在发布照片时开玩笑的说,他们并没有做出重要的内核决策。

Linus Torvalds 谈 AI 炒作
2024-04-20 22:56 by 人类向何处去
Linus Torvalds 与 Verizon Open Source Program Office 负责人 Dirk Hohndel 谈论了近期火热无比的 AI。Torvalds 讽刺的说,“看起来很搞笑!也许我会被 AI 模型取代!”Hohndel 认为今天的 AI 只是一种更强大的自动修正工具。Torvalds 认为需要再等十年才能知道 AI 会走向何处。Torvalds 已经注意到 AI 狂热对内核的影响——作为 AI 热的最大受益者英伟达公司,其开发者与内核开发者之间的沟通更频繁,该公司正在改进内核的内存管理,因为它需要 Linux 更高效的运行 AI 大模型。Torvalds 对 AI 产生的错误信息表达了谨慎,Hohndel 开玩笑的说这是美丽科学,“美丽科学进,美丽科学出。”
