I built BrewHouse: A native GTK4 GUI for managing Homebrew on Linux

Hey Linux

First thing, I am not a developer. I managed development teams in the past for a large communications firm. This was written by claude, and tested by me.

I've been using Homebrew on my KDE Neon setup and got tired of managing packages via CLI, so I built BrewHouse \- a native GTK4 application for browsing, installing, and managing Homebrew packages. I saw Windows and macOS had GUI's and thought it would be better for managing brew in Linux. Basically, scratched my itch.

I think the searching function is my favorite, as I was always guessing what was available prior to this.

It is simple but effective for me. Written in Rust. Free, MIT license.

I've not addressed any security issues, welcome for input.

Open to suggestions, bug reports, and contributions!

Thinkpad T14 gen 5 or gen 6? AMD or Intel?

I will be buying a new laptop, I have decided to go with the T14. I will be using it mainly to read and write docs/presentations, light coding. I would like 8+ hours battery life ideally, and am willing to sacrifice power and performance for that.

I will be using either debian or a fork of arch. Would like to be able to upgrade RAM and storage later on.

Given all that which option would suit me best?

Is there a Linux replacement for NAVE Gaming Center?

Hi everyone! I’d like to install Linux on my laptop to run some tests, but I have a question first: my laptop is a N.A.V.E model and on Windows I rely on the management software to switch between modes like performance/silent and also to change the keyboard RGB settings.

On Linux, is there any alternative (app, driver, kernel module, noscript, etc.) that can provide similar features? Especially performance profiles and keyboard lighting control?

Where to start with debugging/fixing a broken out of tree driver?

I have a Magewell video capture card and the (proprietary, source-available) driver broke between kernel 6.17 and 6.18. It builds and loads fine, but opening the device (/dev/video0) returns ENODEV, and some kind of call trace gets printed to the journal.

I'm happy to provide more details here, not seeking support, understand this is not the appropriate forum just looking for a primer on debugging this type of thing myself. I'm comfortable hacking and reading call traces in userspace, but kernel space is new to me.
