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.

Why make new apps, we should be focusing on rewriting everything in Rust /s

Just please no more electron.

Can”t we just re-write Electron in Rust and then use it for everything else? /s

You're only half sarcastic, I can tell!

And they did apparently. It's called Tauri

Are there other leptons I can create apps with?

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

Obviously the version of Electron re-written in Rust would be Muon.
