Hi all! my name is Patrick and I'm a linux platform engineer out of Waterloo Can. This ( https://imgur.com/a/14YMyVN ) is a collection of Nesticles - lightweight isolated immutable desktop system containers using modern linux compositor technologies and shown on a debian stable host platform and targeting PC grade hardware. These are getting very useful and present opportunities to theme and deeply customize for your personal use or for an organization or company. On average they consume like 600mb of memory per running container, so you will see ~30 envs running there comforably in those screenies. Nesticles is also a platform for unifying desktop and app delivery, providing some building blocks for composing up useful containers. Currently these environments are specified as docker-compose projects, including all of the apps. Could anyone see these becoming useful to you? It kind of scratched a 20 yr itch I'd had since being a young lad configuring desktops painted on cubes and such. I'm shooting for initial support for the following host platforms (debian, ubuntu, steamos, windows, mac). I'd like to bring a launcher to Steam to fund dev and bring the core definitions to the community perhaps as open-source container definitions. Any suggestions or thoughts on Nesticles or lightweight desktop containers? I do view these as building blocks in some larger or more specialized system, but they have utility for desktop use cases now. Ps. I'm also currently on the job market if you are looking for a platform/backend developer - please see https://paddymahoney.github.io .
Thanks all, Patrick.
