Hi Linux Lemmites. Recently finished up school and started working full time and kind of miss working on personal projects. I’m looking to try to make something in rust and try out gpui if I can figure it out or maybe egui. I also want to make something maybe even a handful of people would actually use as I find that motivating, so I ask what would actually be useful to you?

Edit: thank you all very much for the input, I think that maybe doing something akin to a “settings+” would be a fair target for me for a n initial project. If I make anything interesting I’ll make another post in this sub.

    Your question, “What features does the Windows version of Calibre have that the Linux version not have?” cannot be answered without accepting an unargued premise: that the windows version has more features than the Linux version.

    Nope, it simply asks (or even expresses genuine curiosity) about a subset of features on windows which might be missing in Linux version. That’s if you want to be super logical and fussy about things. If not, you could have just answered or moved the discussion in any relevant direction you would like. That was always allowed.

    Ironically, you kinda did answer it, at least in part, by mentioning the AI slop bloat. Why hide your answer behind a wall of being a jerk, though? I can only speculate. Too little sleep, too many old Rationality Rules videos? :-) Thatt’s none of my business; I just hope you feel better now.

      It assumes the windows version has features the Linux version does not have, which is a question in bad faith, and difficult to answer. Hence “begging the question”.
