I just switched to OpenSUSE after windows kept messing with my touch pad drivers to the point where I had to reinstall them every day to somewhat fix the issue. I've been a heavy Linux user on and off since 09 and have hopped all the distros. I might try to run the Windows version of Tonkotsu with WINE or even Lutris, but I am unsure of how that will go. I don't know if there will be a linux build. I know half of san fransisco is on mac so probably not lol. but one can dream.
Building @Tonkotsu has taught us many lessons in product design, with both the underlying technology and user behavior shifting rapidly.
One of the hardest but most critical lessons we ve learned is about calibrating the zoom level how close or far the user feels from the work. You can see examples of this play out across the industry:
Codex gets flak for going heads-down for too long compared to Claude. Users feel too zoomed out from the work.
By contrast, Cursor and IDEs are starting to feel too zoomed in. When the majority of code is written by agents, an editor-first UI is a misfit.
We launched dark mode for Tonkotsu earlier this week. It was written entirely by Tonkotsu with 63 completed tasks. My involvement was exclusively during planning and verification (the classic barbell shape described here).
