From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What do you use USB/IP for?
My laptop, desktop pc, and VMs are running Linux. All of them (except the laptop) are remotely accessible over the local network via Moonlight game stream using Sunshine as the hosting software.
I use USB/IP to send things like a Dualsense controller, or USB headset over the network, as well as my yubikey if I need to log into something with FIDO2 authentication remotely. (I haven't tested my yubikey over usb/ip yet but I will eventually) I've also managed to use my racing wheel this way but if it lags it hurts the game badly.
Webcam / headset / USB storage devices / game controllers work just fine so far.
Just of the top of my head discovered today.
Not a GUI as one exists. But a more configurable one as it is crap for visually impaired.
Rpi-imager gui dose not take theme indications for font size etc. Worse it has no configuration to change such thing.
Making it pretty much unsuable for anyone with poor vision.
Also it varies for each visually impaired indevidual. But dark mode is essential for some of ua.
So if your looking for small projects. Youd at least make me happy;)
It seems that it is based on Qt, so there might be a easy way to fix this unless they’re creating their controls from scratch. I know QML can be used as a canvas to draw custom controls, so it depends on the code.
I'd love to have archivemount or a similar tool integrated in a file manager
I'd also love to have some sort of full featured gui software to install and manage custom roms in phones, allowing to do everything, from unlocking bootloaders to downloading and flashing/upgrading roms. For the tasks that require manual steps, it could offer illustrated steps, with a community driven database of phone models.
Git - the Github Desktop application is a great example of how easy git could be for users like me who only rarely use git. Every time I need to do somethign other then a simple pull or push I need to look it up and by the time I need it again I have forgotten the command and need to look it up again. Just give me something like Github Desktop on linux
