  • So the main part of a computer that controls everything has a specific set of things it can do. Imagine that each of these things can be triggered by a button on a control panel.

    Every company making this part of the computer has their own set of things and layout for the buttons to trigger them and you have to pay them money to learn what the things are and how to press the buttons.

    RISC-V offers a set of things and a button layout that the community can freely see and use.

    In this example a computer program is just the list of instructions saying which buttons to press in what order.



  • Niagara launcher

    It’s a minimalistic approach, you get one widget at the top of the screen and then a handful of favourite apps.

    There’s no app draw instead you scroll an alphabet on either side of the screen to find apps.

    Works really well if you have a lot of apps and you want to find them by name.

    In the paid version you can have multiple widgets but they stack in the one spot and you have to swipe between them.

    It’s perfect if you want an uncluttered launcher.
