The weekend is a fine time to try a new tool, beat a boss fight, or refresh your desktop, and this week brought a few perfect excuses.
New in Showcase
-
Distro Fighter: Find your Linux distro & desktop by @hydn
A retro-styled web game that matches you to distros and DEs, then drops you into a CLI puzzle campaign that uses real commands - a playful way to practice terminal problem solving. -
I tried getting the Codex desktop app running on Linux by @HaD0Yun
A proof-of-concept wrapper that launches the Codex desktop app on Ubuntu via an unofficial macOS build and Electron, with clear caveats and smoke-test notes for tinkerers who want to explore beyond the Codex CLI. -
Graphviz, the text to graph generator shared by @ugnvs
The classic CLI suite that turns compact text descriptions into clean diagrams, great when you want content and presentation separated and auto-generated visuals with minimal fuss.
Active & Updated
- Distro Fighter: Find your Linux distro & desktop - Part 2 of the campaign is live with new hunt stages, per-distro progress across 32 fighters, optional network-synced progress via email access token, and a Hall of the Reckoning leaderboard.
Desktops, Rices & Setups
- @tad shared their setup - Ubuntu Server with a clean, console-first vibe.
- @tad shared their setup - Debian Trixie, simple terminal share with that neat fastfetch readout.
Have something to show? Drop your projects in Showcase or post your rices and setups so we can include them before next Saturday’s update.
