    4Pane

    4Pane

    4Pane

    4Pane is a multi-pane, detailed-list file manager for Linux. It is designed to be fully featured without the bloat and aims for speed rather than visual effects. In addition to standard file manager things, it offers multiple undo and redo of most operations (including deletions), archive management including 'virtual browsing' inside archives, multiple renaming/duplication of files, a terminal emulator, and user-defined tools. As you can see from the Screenshots its display is split into a left directory tree-view, and a right detailed-list view which by default shows both files and directories. There are normally two of these twin panes displayed (thus the name) but this, and almost everything else, can be configured to suit your needs. It has been built and tested on all the main Linux distros, using both current and older versions. Though it has a gtk-style appearance, it's not tied to any particular desktop.

    Sphere

    Sphere

    The browser has systems for protection and fingerprint substitution (GPU, Audio, Canvas, Plugins, Fonts, ClientRects, Ubercookies) automatically changing them for each new identity. Nobody can recognize the configuration of your real computer if you surf with Sphere, it protects you against any identification attempt. Sphere operates in off-the-record mode, during software operation all current files and data are saved in RAM till its closure. Thus, it is impossible to get access to information about visited sites and activities in them even using spying solutions (viruses) installed directly on the computer. The software allows you easily substitute your IP address using, e.g., TOR. Users who do not trust an onion network can make use of multi-flow SOCKS and SSH connections. You are everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The browser uses the best-protected type of data encryption to keep safe information saved to the computer in case of necessity.

    AnyTree
    Introducing AnyTree — the first software deployment system secured by the blockchain. On AnyTree, whatever apps developers distribute or use, are delivered exactly as they are supposed to be. The Software Supply Chain is a high-impact area. Yet there exists a distinctive lack of secure, trustless, verifiable, and transparent delivery of source code/binaries to developers and users in all software fields. Storing your code on a git means it has an owner, a single point of control, which leads to security vulnerabilities. Currently, there is no industrial solution available that is not centralized and thus not dependent on the decisions of a few actors. The main way in which GOSH solves this issue is by allowing developers to build consensus around their code, so the more code is written, the more secure it becomes.

    i3

    i3

    i3 is a tiling window manager, completely written from scratch. The target platforms are GNU/Linux and BSD operating systems, our code is Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) under the BSD license. i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and developers. Based upon the experiences we made when wanting to hack/fix wmii, we agreed upon the following goals for i3. This includes being modifiable by people who do know how to program but who are not necessarily familiar with all of X11’s internals. That is, document why things happen and when they happen so that the user gets a picture of the whole process a Window Manager is responsible of by just reading the source code. Implement multi-monitor correctly, that is by assigning each workspace to a virtual screen. Especially make sure that attaching and detaching new monitors like video projectors works during operation and do the right thing. Also, provide support for rotated monitors.

    Flox

    Flox

    Flox is a development environment manager and package tool that lets developers define, share, and replicate consistent environments across machines by leveraging the Nix ecosystem. Flox lets you create environments via a simple manifest.toml, layering and replacing dependencies precisely where needed. It activates subshells with reproducible dependencies and integrates shell hooks, version constraints, and services (e.g., local databases) to automate setup. Because it runs on the host system (rather than inside containers), developers maintain access to files, configurations, SSH keys, and shell aliases without Docker-style bind mounts. Flox supports cross-platform and multi-architecture environments by default, allowing environments to run identically on various systems; you can constrain them to specific systems or use package groups to manage architecture-specific dependencies.
