Pretty cool UI, I'm jelly. Has anyone used this 'iced' GUI library; is it anywhere near mature? I like my libraries older than my wine.

System76's COSMIC desktop environment is implemented using it: https://blog.system76.com/post/may-flowers-spring-cosmic-sho...

But no, none of the Rust-only GUI libraries are mature yet.

It’s surprisingly hard for me to tell if this is sarcastic or not. I can imagine both ways:

1. “People implement major things in it, it’s mature, obviously.”

2. “People have implemented these things, but it requires care/attention/hacks that wouldn’t be required in a mature framework.”

Fwiw I think the term is “riced”

https://github.com/iced-rs/iced Doesn’t seem to be.

Ah. I was thinking about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/3iy3wd/stupid_que...

I don't think it's sarcastic. COSMIC is still early in development and they're contributing upstream to Iced to improve it. And as the Iced repo[1] itself says, "Iced is currently experimental software".

Are there any tools out there that can breakdown network traffic by the originating process? Sometimes it would be useful to see exactly which process is monopolising bandwidth like we can with CPU time.

Creator of Sniffnet here. Adding processes IDs is one of the features I'd like to implement in the next months!

Yeah that's exactly it, they're aiming for a 2024 release, and due to the nature of that being in the future, it's unclear both whether they will make that, and how stable/mature that first release will be. So my link demonstrates that someone is using it, not that it's mature.

Wasn't aware System76 was pulling Rust chops and making a DE, thanks for sharing.
