There is no greater freedom than just creating software you need. Just released Waypoint, a Btrfs snapshot creation and management tool for Void Linux:

GitHub - Letdown2491/waypoint-gtk: A GTK-based snapshot and rollback tool for Btrfs filesystems on Void Linux.

A GTK-based snapshot and rollback tool for Btrfs filesystems on Void Linux. - Letdown2491/waypoint-gtk

Everything should theoretically work on other distros except the snapshot scheduling system since I only wrote a runit service. Systemd service next, sysvinit and others maybe less likley.

It's funny seeing some people's reactions to software or services you develop. It's no wonder normal people are afraid to use open source alternatives. 1. "Uuugh, Rust? I only use C." You do you, boomer. 2. "Uuugh, X toolkit? What if I don't use X desktop environment?" Tell me you just parrot other people's thoughts in fewer words next time. 3. "Why do we need Y? I can do X in the terminal!" And I bet you jerk off to "I use Arch BTW" memes as well. Not everyone is a super leet ubermensch like yourself 😃 4. "But why use Y instead of X?" I don't have have time write a book on why you're an idiot, so you do you, boomer. We'd have no alternatives if everyone thought this way. 5. "But I want this to do/work like X." Cool, you CAN just do things, you know. Submit a PR or fork it, but better question is, why didn't you already do it yourself? 6. "X is not for newbies." You're an elitist idiot, got it. Free software is free for everyone, not just for people in their mom's basements. Rant over, back to building stuff 🥳

Disappeared for a bit to cook up a package manager frontend for Void Linux. Honestly, working with Rust and GTK has been pretty fun so I might stay in that wheelhouse for a little while :-)
