Terminaux Released!
We have previously announced Terminaux, a library that manipulates with your console in any way, like VT sequences, inputs, etc. We have also done a follow-up announcement of the first announcement article about the same library. However, it looks like that Terminaux is stable enough to be ready for prime time, so, we’ve decided to…

Unification of the Terminal Libraries (Followup)
This is another article clarifying our plans on how to release a brand new terminal library, Terminaux.

Unification of the Terminal Libraries
We’ve made efforts to make one of the best terminal manipulation libraries available for C# developers through NuGet. Here’s how it all started. It all started when Nitrocid KS (Kernel Simulator back then) needed to have a functional shell on Linux because it behaved in an inappropriate way in Linux systems according to our tests…

Re-targeting libraries
We used to make libraries that target .NET Standard 2.1 and .NET Framework 4.8 as minimum requirements since most of our libraries came from the source code of Kernel Simulator. Over time, new libraries get released, targeting the .NET Standard 2.0 framework to provide support for the widest range of .NET versions possible. Unfortunately, one…

Documentation Chemistry
During the development of Nitrocid KS and all our other projects, we asserted that virtually none of the projects we have developed, including ones that date back to 2020 which once had a GitHub-based wiki, have any meaningful documentation. Nitrocid KS’s manual, which is hosted using the DocFX wiki system, currently suffers from the lack…

Can you use a .NET console app as Init?
When Linux starts up, it first initializes the initial kernel functions, especially those that have to do with hardware like the HAL layer, and probes all the hardware installed on your computer. Once this is done, it begins to switch to user mode with several functions, and one of them is launching the initialization program,…

C# Top-level statement console template problem partly solved
The top-level statement console template problem started when .NET 6.0 was released back in November 8th, 2022.
