Anytype isn’t fully open source unfortunately. Only the sync protocols are.

How’s your experience with Moonshine / Sunshine? Latency on local network?

Not OP, but in my house we’re very happy with it. Will even work nicely over WiFi, though you do have to manually turn all the settings down for that.

Tried it once over my phone’s hotspot, had no issues with latency.

On a home network I was having audio sync issues with RDP. When I switched to moonlight/sunshine that sync issue cleared up.

Its streaming resolution isn’t as dynamic as RDP but once its setup it feels pretty close to running locally (on my home LAN).

VS code is technically not open-source since it has many proprietary blobs on top. VScodium is the fully open-source version.

I don’t know how much can Revanced be considered open-source except for their Revanced manager app since you still use the patched versions of the proprietary Google apps.

Sorry for being pedantic.

Resprite doesn’t seem to be open-source when I look it up.
