Show HN: Switcheroo-control-rs, a Linux hybrid graphics manager in Rust

Hacker News - Sun, 06/14/2026 - 5:08am

Hi HN,

This is a working WIP Rust port of switcheroo-control, a Linux hybrid graphics manager. It provides a daemon and a CLI to list GPUs and launch applications on the discrete GPU (e.g. switcherooctl launch --gpu 1 glmark2).

The original tool works fine so I didn't start this project to solve any particular problems. I mostly built it because I wanted to see how a system-level Linux tool like this would look in Rust. It was a fun learning exercise in working with udev, ioctl calls and zbus for D-Bus communication. I expected it to be a struggle, but I was pleasantly surprised by how painless it actually was. I didn’t expect to find such mature abstractions for low-level Linux components.

Also, since it implements the same D-Bus interface (net.hadess.SwitcherooControl) as the original project, the components are fully interoperable. This means the Rust daemon works with the original Python client and the Rust client works with the original C daemon.

I hope you like it!

Show HN: Sabela – A Reactive Notebook for Haskell

Hacker News - Sun, 06/14/2026 - 4:33am

Sabela is a reactive notebook for Haskell. The name is the Ndebele word for "to respond." Cells respond to each other on change. Initially it was meant as a tool for working with data but it has turned out to have a lot of pedagogical value outside of data analysis work.

There is a gallery to read through on the website and a number of examples in the repo showcasing things like:

* Python interop * Widgets and animation * Exploratory data analysis

If you find any of this interesting please try it out. Any feedback is welcome.
