Me llama mucho la atención #Nitrux sobre todo por el aspecto de #Hyprland, ¿que significa? Pues que el uso del ratón queda en segundo plano y todo es básicamente por teclado.
A veces nada mas hacemos mas que dar vueltas, mover cosas, mejorar vista, redimensionar sin pausa y puntar, apuntar y apuntar insistentemente que con dos teclas lo sitúas y listo.
Obvio será aprender o personalizar a tu forma como lo harás, pero luego el tiempo recuperado será enorme.
Deberé probar en una máquina para descubrir pasos y propiedades, pero la idea reclama y mucho.

The Nitrux Update Tool System (NUTS) will also see a new release with significant changes: A complete rewrite in C++ and a GUI made with @mauiproject MauiKit.
We've updated NX AppHub with the following improvements:
CLI:
- Remove tqdm and use Rich to provide a nicer TUI.
- Use generic terminology in messages.
- Ensure the system PATH is preserved in the AppRun so that child processes can run.
- Support custom scripts in app/scripts to handle complex initialization workflows.
Apps:
- Cleaned up outdated YAML files.
- Added examples of WMs and DEs as Appboxes.
[...]
One thing we haven't been able to add is an on-screen display (OSD). We had tried various options, but none worked for us or fit our needs (Qt/QML preference for apps).
So, we made our own, meet NudgeOSD, a QML-based on-screen display. Built with MauiKit and LayerShell-Qt.
Another change is coming to Nitrux 6.0: we'll use our own login greeter, QMLGreet (very much a W.I.P, mind you).
The reason is that customizing QtGreet proved to be a bad endeavour, and there are no QML greeters for greetd.

Remember that massive Debian family tree thread? It officially has a home on my Codeberg now.
I have cleaned it up, fixed the links, and organized it so it is easier to navigate. If you are looking for a non-Ubuntu Debian based distro, this is a decent place to start.

Pull Requests are welcome, or you can just tell me here.

I love using Debian. I think it is so interesting that so many distros have been or currently are based on Debian. While I prefer vanillia Debian, I wanted to list all of the Debian based distros (non-Ubuntu) I know of and categorize them based on what makes them unique.

On the heels of updating our documentation about using WireGuard, we noticed that it'd be a good idea to make the process more approachable.
So we made an app, meet Wirecloak, built with MauiKit.
