Python
Boxes, KVM and Libadapta...
Boxes and KVM
I’ve recently removed and converted some VMs from VirtualBox to gnome-boxes
and the .qcow2 format. It went well. The only loss was “tiny video” as the
resolution scaling is absent from the boxes version I’m on. The fact I
can keep a podman instance up working (relies on kvm) was a major reason
for the switch. So really not that much of a change.
Libadapta and Themes
On the Linux Mint 22.2 upgrade, I tried out the libadapta theming under a
python program. Using Gtk-4 Adwaita is not too bad, but sometimes looks
limited and unstyled. So I developed the basic demo further, adding in
C++ to a hatch project, and then also added in luaJIT-5.1 for preference
for some things. I don’t mind python for its large module range, ML to
quite a few GUI toolkits. But I do like the simplicity of Lua and such a thing
is more likely to fit mostly in the I-cache.
