Note

Exploring Linux Boundaries. From native-like gaming to mobile kernel mainlining, we build tools that bridge the gap between low-level engineering and elegant interfaces.

πŸ‘₯ Meet the Team

Karol (@szoltysek)

Founder & Lead Explorer

Karol is an Engineering Student at the Silesian University of Technology (SUT) and a low-level systems enthusiast. He specializes in Linux kernel mainlining, high-performance virtualization, and exploring the architectural purity of Unix/BSD systems.

His mission with Terminal-Index is to eliminate software barriers and bring modern desktop experiences to unconventional hardware.

Tip

Open for Collaboration: Karol is always looking for interesting projects and partnerships in the systems space.


πŸ› οΈ Key Projects

πŸš€ VFIO GPU Passthrough

The "2-in-1" System Implementation. A single-script automation for near-native Windows performance inside Linux. No reboots, zero latency, pure performance.

πŸ“± Sony Xperia 5 II Mainline

An engineering journey to bring the Mainline Linux Kernel to the Sony Xperia 5 II (pdx206). Focused on mobile hardware independence and modern kernel standards.

🎨 NVIDIA Optimus on Wayland

Achieving a fluid, tear-free desktop experience on hybrid graphics. Documentation and tools for the modern Linux desktop user.


β˜• Why Sponsor?

Your support directly impacts the development of these open-source tools. Sponsorship helps with:
