Hey, not sure how this usually works with arch but I (the maintainer) didn't create that package but it definitely is based on this somo. Why would someone else register a package by someone else? Only bad reasons come to my mind but I don't know how things are on AUR...
almost all packages in any linux distribution are not created by the actual developers of the applications. this is what linux distributions do. they take applications they find useful and package them for their distribution. i have been a maintainer of such packages myself.
this behavior is expected and what you want because you probably don't want to keep up with all the distributions out there and maintain packages of your application for them. most distributions also won't allow you to submit a package unless you are a verified member of their packaging team.
consider those packagers as contributors to your application
Think it should be explicitly stated that it is not available on Mac OS as procfs does not support it
There are MacOS-like themes available. Eg: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1275087/
Nobody is questioning what themes are available on gnome. Including a screenshot of the software running in a window that very much looks like macOS X is simply misleading.
If a Rust crate uses anything from the OS, and doesn't mention that OS, I wouldn't expect it to work on that OS, regardless if it's Windows, Linux or macOS. Just like graphical crates state what APIs they support, and if Metal is not mentioned for example, it is most likely not supported.
The title `A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux` is pretty clear.
Is there an option to disable the table mode (or at least horizontal lines, don't care about the others)? It's a lot of wasted space in the terminal if you have lots of connections open.
