Linux

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.

Hi,

I'm looking for a soft to create ASCII diagram like (or better) https://asciiflow.com/

ideally:

  • FLOSS
  • for linux
  • offline
  • no javascript.

I've found a candidate ascii-draw and it's write in Python ❤️ 🐍, but it's only available as flatpack.. :/

I'm not sure why you wouldn't want the ASCII-Draw flatpak, but that's not the only way to get it:

  • there's a Snap
  • it can be installed from source
  • there's also an AUR package

But maybe you're not on Arch, don't like Snaps (can't blame anyone for that) and don't want to install from source (same)? What type of package are you looking for? Only native package? For which distro?

Ideally running the .py python foobar.py will be ideal, otherwise an .appimage

I think I will have to build it my self (the .appimage ) :)
