note: ClamAV is a separate, distinct project whose development is overseen by the Talos Group, at Cisco Systems and is not affected by this decision
Strit ( @Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show ) 37•2 months agoSo it’s “just” the GTK gui that is iunmaintained. ClamAV and the other user interfaces for it will still be developed.
thingsiplay ( @thingsiplay@beehaw.org ) 20•2 months agoYes, ClamTk is “just” a GUI for ClamAV. I wish the article would have listed a few active alternatives. For the Rust humans under us, there is curently https://github.com/ivangabriele/clamav-desktop in development, but still misses a few features. Flathub does not have any other GUI than ClamTk currently. My guess is, someone will fork current ClamTk and work on that?
Strit ( @Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show ) 13•2 months agoOr better yet, design a modern gui in gtk/qt.
There’s also a great TUI in libredefender, also written in Rust.
thingsiplay ( @thingsiplay@beehaw.org ) 3•2 months agoMaybe one that is written in Rust with Iced toolkit? This could play well into System 76’s laptops, for people coming from Windows and expecting an Antivirus tool. I mean at least there is a commercial motivation behind it, so it might get written fast (given how fast they develop the COSMIC desktop environment).
Aatube ( @Aatube@kbin.social ) 2•2 months agoYou can combine both widget toolkits in one app‽
bizdelnick ( @bizdelnick@lemmy.ml ) 3•2 months agoIt’s not GTK, it’s tk.

Isn’t ClamTK a GUI to ClamAV if I remember correctly?
awesome_guy ( @awesome_guy@lemmy.ml ) 11•2 months agoYou guys use antivirus on linux?

Possibly linux ( @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ) English1•2 months agoWho are you?
flying_sheep ( @flying_sheep@lemmy.ml ) 1•2 months agoA developer who hasn’t caught a virus since his teenage years.
Possibly linux ( @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ) English1•2 months agoThen who are they?
flying_sheep ( @flying_sheep@lemmy.ml ) 1•2 months agoWho?
Possibly linux ( @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ) English1•2 months agoWho are we really?
(I’m just circle jerking)
drwankingstein ( @drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English7•2 months agoI don’t know anyone who actually used clamtk
chtk ( @chtk@feddit.nl ) 6•2 months agoI think the only TK-based tools I have ever uses are
gitk
andgit gui
. And even those I have mostly replaced withtig
andlazygit
Grangle1 ( @Grangle1@lemm.ee ) 5•2 months agoI used it a few times. Essentially having a one-click scan was nice, but I could never get it to properly update the virus definitions. Now I just run clamd, freshclam and clamonacc at startup. Uses a ton of RAM but then I don’t have to worry about actually doing anything beyond that.
Possibly linux ( @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ) English1•2 months agoYou don’t need it
catloaf ( @catloaf@lemm.ee ) English1•2 months agoI used it once back in like 2006.
Lemmchen ( @Lemmchen@feddit.de ) 2•2 months agoHexchat too? :(
Possibly linux ( @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ) English1•2 months agoIt is just the GUI, relax
