What Software Projects Are Featured on mijorus.it?

Updated

mijorus.it is the personal website of Lorenzo Paderi, and it serves mainly as a showcase for a set of small Linux desktop tools he has built. The projects listed on the site are Collector, Gear Lever, Simba, Smile, and Whisper, plus a complementary GNOME Shell extension for Collector. If you are looking for lightweight, single-purpose Linux utilities, this page is essentially a project index pointing to each tool and its install or setup instructions.

The projects at a glance

Project What it does (per site) Notes from the site
Collector "Drag and Drop to the next level" Has a companion GNOME Shell extension; site links a tutorial on configuring Collector on KDE so Plasma keeps Collector windows always on top
Gear Lever "A super-simple way to install AppImages on your system" Presented as a straightforward AppImage installer
Simba "A Samba manager" Management tool for Samba
Smile "An emoji picker for Linux" Emoji selection utility
Whisper "Listen to your microphone using Pipewire" Microphone monitoring built on Pipewire

How the site presents them

Each project appears as a short entry with a one-line description and a link to more information or installation. The site also surfaces two supporting items:

  • Install Collector GNOME Extension — the complementary GNOME Shell extension for Collector.
  • How to configure Collector on KDE — a quick tutorial showing how to tell Plasma to keep Collector windows always on top.

The site also includes a Donate section with a link to Ko-Fi, indicating the projects are presented as independently maintained work.

Which one fits your task

  • If you want to install AppImages without manual setup, Gear Lever is the entry aimed at that job.
  • If you need better drag-and-drop behavior on your desktop, Collector is the relevant tool, and the KDE tutorial matters if you use Plasma.
  • If you administer Samba shares, Simba is the listed manager.
  • If you want a quick emoji picker, Smile is the match.
  • If you want to monitor your microphone through Pipewire, Whisper is the tool described.

What the site does not tell you

The page evidence gives descriptions and setup pointers but no version numbers, supported distributions, download sizes, or licensing details. Pricing is not stated either, so do not assume the tools are free or that no account is needed—check each project's own page before relying on it. For installation specifics beyond the Collector/KDE tutorial and the GNOME extension link, follow the individual project links rather than the landing page.
