pflask is a simple tool for creating Linux namespace containers. It can be used for running a command or even booting an OS inside an isolated container, created with the help of Linux namespaces. It is similar in functionality to chroot, although pflask provides better isolation thanks to the use of namespaces.

PowerTOP is a Linux tool to diagnose issues with power consumption and power management. In addition to being a diagnostic tool, PowerTOP also has an interactive mode where the user can experiment various power management settings for cases where the operating system has not enabled these settings.

Tmon is a tool to interact with the complex thermal subsystem of the kernel Linux. It helps visualize thermal relationships and real-time thermal data, tune and test cooling devices and sensors, and collect thermal data for further analysis.

As computers become smaller and more thermally constrained, more sensors are added and new cooling capabilities introduced. Thermal relationships can change dynamically. Their complexity grows exponentially among cooling devices, zones, sensors, and trip points.

Linux exposes this relationship through /sys/class/thermal with a matrix of symbolic links, trip point bindings, and device instances. To traverse it by hand is no trivial task: tmon aims to make it understandable.

GNU Linux-Libre is a free (as in freedom) variant of the Linux kernel. It has been modified to remove all non-free binary blobs.

The CRDA acts as the udev helper for communication between the kernel Linux and user space for regulatory compliance.

bpftool allows for inspection and simple modification of BPF objects on the system.

Iproute2 is a collection of utilities for controlling TCP/IP networking and traffic with the Linux kernel. The most important of these are ip, which configures IPv4 and IPv6, and tc for traffic control.

Most network configuration manuals still refer to ifconfig and route as the primary network configuration tools, but ifconfig is known to behave inadequately in modern network environments, and both should be deprecated.

ipvsadm(8) is used to set up, maintain or inspect the virtual server table in the Linux kernel. The Linux Virtual Server can be used to build scalable network services based on a cluster of two or more nodes.

snapscreenshot saves a screenshot of one or more Linux text consoles as a Targa (.tga) image. It can be used by anyone with read access to the relevant /dev/vcs* file(s).

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux-based operating system.

Monitor a hardware random number generator, and supply entropy from that to the system kernel's /dev/random machinery.

Linux kernel patches and device-trees used for the MNT Reform systems

inputattach dispatches input events from several device types and interfaces and translates so that the X server can use them.

This package provides a statically linked xfs_repair taken from the xfsprogs package. It is meant to be used in initrds.

This library parses raw Linux kernel trace event formats.

This package provides userspace helpers for memory error detection and correction (EDAC).

This package provides a Linux tool for controlling a PS5 DualSense controller. It has to be already connected via USB or connected via Bluetooth.

GNU Linux-Libre is a free (as in freedom) variant of the Linux kernel. It has been modified to remove all non-free binary blobs.

Touchégg is an application that runs in the background and transform the gestures you make on your touchpad or touchscreen into visible actions in your desktop.

Turbostat reports x86 processor topology, frequency, idle power state statistics, temperature, and power consumption. Some information is unavailable on older processors.

It can be used to identify machines that are inefficient in terms of power usage or idle time, report the rate of SMIs occurring on the system, or verify the effects of power management tuning.

turbostat reads hardware counters but doesn't write to them, so it won't interfere with the OS or other running processes---including multiple invocations of itself.

The mcelog daemon logs memory, I/O, CPU, and other hardware errors on x86 systems running the kernel Linux. It can also perform user-defined tasks, such as bringing bad pages off-line, when configurable error thresholds are exceeded.

Firejail is a SUID sandbox program that reduces the risk of security breaches by restricting the running environment of untrusted applications using Linux namespaces, seccomp-bpf and Linux capabilities. The software includes sandbox profiles for a number of common Linux programs. Firejail should be added to the list of setuid programs in the system configuration to work properly.

This package provides a FUSE-based file system that provides read and write access to exFAT devices.

This package provides a Python library to access I2C and SMBus devices on Linux.
