Features Microsoft "stole" from linux, that linux already had for years

Hello,

I have recently read somewhere, that they finally separated userspace from kernelspace. Maybe hoax, maybe not, but ghis question rose in my mind: name things linux had for years and windows copied it calling it a new feature, like virtual desktops. Or name a thing linux stole from windows, I am curious :)

Recording 4K Linux (including gaming) footage using AverMedia GC553 4k Ultra capture card - finally got it to work

So I've been messing around with a new AverMedia GC553 Live Gamer 4k Ultra card recently and I just could not get it to work on Linux. AverMedia have their own stream/record studio software called RECCentral which does not run on Linux (tried with Wine) so I had to get creative and use a tweaked V4L2 raw stream in OBS.

​

Here's a video of some test footage I recorded yesterday:

​

I'm using two machines running Manjaro Linux 18.04, one recording the capture card in OBS and the other one using the cards passthrough to a 4K monitor for the actual gaming. If anyone wants to know how I set this up and my thoughts just hit me up.

ElectronMail - unofficial open-source desktop app for ProtonMail and Tutanota E2EE email providers

The project page is [here](https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail).

Linux is well supported by the app (deb/snap/freebsd/pacman/AppImage/rpm packages provided, the program author is a Linux user).

The below quote is picked from the [readme](https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail#readme) file:

> ElectronMail is an [Electron](https://electronjs.org)-based unofficial desktop client for [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com/) and [Tutanota](https://tutanota.com/) end-to-end encrypted email providers. The app aims to provide enhanced desktop user experience enabling features that are not supported by the official in-browser web clients.

Among other things, the program tackles the issue raised by Nadim Kobeissi in [An Analysis of the ProtonMail Cryptographic Architecture](https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/1121) paper and [highlighted in "Linux" subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9yqfao/an_analysis_of_the_protonmail_cryptographic/) about 6 months ago.

Two new ISOs images for Artix: Plasma/LXQt and MATE/LXDE

Artix is a fork of Arch **\[without systemd\]**.
Originally pure LXQT, installer & installed system, you can always install later on any other DE.

​

**Artix Linux is a rolling-release distribution, based on Arch Linux.**
**It uses OpenRC as init because PID1 must be simple, secure and stable.**

​

**The news is that 2 new ISOs, community supported.**

A QT-based ISO featuring the KDE Plasma and LXQt desktop environments and a GTK-based ISO with MATE and LXDE are [available for downloading](https://artixlinux.org/download.php). Both ISO images come equipped and ready for general use (multimedia, office, internet, productivity), offering the latest software available and are, despite their general DE/toolkit orientation, preconfigured for completely uniform look between QT and GTK applications, allowing for aesthetically pleasing integration of the best apps from both worlds. Read [the forum announcement](https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1010.0.html) for more information and screenshots.

Map midi signals to shell commands

I searched and noticed an absence of programs to translate midi signals to shell commands, so I made one

Repo: [https://github.com/zawwz/zmidimap](https://github.com/zawwz/zmidimap)
It's still early dev but should be 100% functional without any major issue


Feedback and bug reports are welcome, thanks.

I just found a use for ed.

You know those people that make horseshoes by hand, usually at some sort of historical exhibition. I sorta feel like those guys, except with computers. I love studying old computer technologies. I've spent dozens of hours learning about old 8 bit architectures, weird one-off computer systems like the Apollo Guidance Computer, and also old unix utilities.

Now, of course, the unix utilities are still with us, and I'd argue they are here to stay, but some of them have become more obscure than others. For instance, ed isn't even installed by default in many linux distros. I spent a bit of time learning about it, mainly for the legacy it has in the way vim works (also, grep gets its name from ed).

Today I was not actually in my historical mood, I was working on another project involving book length flat html files generated from markdown. I wanted to generate a table of contents with an entry for every level 2 heading in the document. Now, there are many ways to crack an egg, but it occurred to me that this was actually a problem that I could solve with ed! It seemed like an interesting challenge at least. In a surprisingly short time, I had a working ed noscript to solve the problem. It's only 17 loc and even has the distinction of containing my most knarly looking line of code written to date.

AudioStellar: Open source data-driven musical instrument for latent sound structure discovery and music experimentation

A couple of weeks ago we released the first public version of our open source project: AudioStellar.

We've put together a basic machine learning pipeline for visualizing a collection of short audio samples in an interactive 2D point map we like to call "sound space".

Any sound artist can create a sound space using his/her own sounds and explore AI learned representation. We propose three creative modes for playing samples including casting moving particles and creating constellation loops.

It's made in c++ using openFrameworks and Python

Code and binaries:[ https://gitlab.com/ayrsd/audiostellar/](https://gitlab.com/ayrsd/audiostellar/)

This is the first project open source project I actually spread.

Any feedback very well apreciated.
