Is there a hex editor for linux that is on the level of HxD for windows?
Like, come on, I thought linux is all about power tools for devs. All linux hex editors I've tried are crap, especially compared to HxD. Each of them lacks at least one of the following:
> A GUI. No, terminal interface sucks for anything other than trivial editing. > Doesn't choke on huge files > Fill region with byte patterns > Set word size so you can look at data as 8, 16, 32, etc. bit units > Multiple representations (hex/decimal/octal/etc.) > Get multiple decodings of a region (signed/unsigned, little/big endian integers, string, etc.) > Ability to label regions to ease analysis of binary file formats > Set number of bytes displayed per line so I can align data for easier analysis > Bonus: Diff mode to compare two binary files
The two closest I found were Okteta and wxHexEditor. Both are lacking compared to HxD, though are pretty decent, BUT:
> Having to install KDE runtime just so I can have a decent hex editor > WxHexEditor seems dead and the latest version is full of weird bugs and crashes
At this point, I'm considering writing my own hex editor.
It's just a kernel. I don't know what you are expecting.
Dominic Lewis
If I could get over my autistic sense of purity, I would probably do that. But I want muh pure linux hex editor.
Jackson Brown
XP had such aesthetic fonts goddamn.
Isaiah Taylor
Kill yourself.
Jeremiah Allen
Does XVI32 work on Linux (or still even exists at all)? That's what I used in my romhacking days more than 10 years ago.
Caleb Rivera
>At this point, I'm considering writing my own hex editor. Go for it. Okteta is the best one so you're gonna have to write your own.
Mason Lopez

Nathan Collins
Say GNU if you mean the OS, and Linux for Linux.
Robert Flores
GNU is just an easily replaceable userland, unlike a kernel. There are more Linux-based systems with BSD and Plan 9 utils than you think. "GNU"/Linux has always been a lot more Linux than GNU. The term GNU/Linux gives Stallman undue credit. You know very well what OP meant, yet you deliberately went out of your way to try to sound smart, but failed.
Hunter Murphy
>GNU is just an easily replaceable userland No, it is a project. You have no idea what you are talking about.
Lucas Brown
Those two you found pretty much sum it up, you really are better off writing you own, just don't use gtk,
Nathaniel Moore
GNU itself is a userland. Nothing more, nothing less. Stop sucking Stallman's cock.
John Lopez
No it isn't. GNU is a project, the goal of which was to build an entirely free clone of Unix. It succeded. Now we have the GNU operating system.
Alexander Hill
The GNU "project" was never completed. Hurd is still an unusable pile of crap. As long as they can't manage to shit out a kernel of their own, GNU is nothing more than a userland. There is no "GNU" operating system. What they call "GNU/Linux" is a lot more Linux than it is GNU.
Jordan Scott
Linux is free software, so it can be used in the GNU project. Therefore the GNU project is complete. If you think it has to be managed by GNU, then look no further than Linux-libre. GNU is not userland, don't confuse GNU with the GNU core-utils. You are just very misinformed.
Eli Price
The GNU "project" may be "complete", but still, there is no such thing as the GNU operating system. In terms of actual software, GNU is nothing more than an easily replaceable component. Hell, systemd is a lot harder to replace in most distros than the GNU coreutils. >linux-libre Further proof that "GNU/Linux" is really a lot more Linux than GNU. As long as there is no usable, 100% GNU-developed OS, the "GNU operating system" won't be a thing.
Evan Roberts
The GNU operating system exists. It uses Linux or Linux-libre. An OS isn't named by percentage of a component. Linux is a free kernel, any OS can use it. GNU is not a component. Where do you get this stupidity from? It's like you have never even used GNU. >As long as there is no usable, 100% GNU-developed OS, the "GNU operating system" won't be a thing. Why? Linux is free, so anyone can use it in their OS. Your definition is arbitrary and stems from you irrational hatred of the FSM.
It isn't an OS. >flavours[sic] They aren't ice cream.
Hudson Stewart
Not the guy you're arguing with. GNU may exist but using the word Linux to refer to a distro with a linux kernel in it is not incorrect. The distro is the operating system - debian, arch, fedora. There exists a word that is widely accepted generalization for all those operating system - this word is Linux. You have no groun to say that using the word Linux in this context is incorrect. The only argument you might have is "but i want you to say gnu to make people more aware abotu rms" and this argument is garbage.
Camden Lewis
Okteta is the best.
Jordan White
No, those are distributions of the one OS. Just as Unix is an OS GNU is. GNU is what all distributions of GNU are based on. They aren't operating systems, they are distributions of the GNU operating system.
Landon Scott
Rambling of a madman. Debian is an operating system.
According to your opinion. Debian explicitly says it's an OS. Wikipedia explicitly says it's an OS. Don't see how you want people to trust you over original source.
Aiden Ramirez
I'm simply stating facts. You may say you are a woman, but we all know that isn't true.
Lincoln King
I can't argue with deluded.
Michael Carter
>The Linux operating system exists. It uses GNU or Busybox. An OS isn't named by percentage of a component. GNU is a free userland, any OS can use it. Linux is not a component. Where do you get this stupidity from? It's like you have never even used Linux.
This is arbitrary your argument is. Except, you know, the kernel is the most fundamental part of an operating system, unlike a userland. If you really want to name an OS after one of its parts, it should naturally be the most fundamental one.
Listen, I'm not trying to shit on GNU. Stallman and the FSF do have merits, such as the GPL and spreading the notion of free software, but insisting on calling Linux distributions "the GNU operating system", or even "GNU/Linux" is just giving them undue credit. There is no GNU operating system.
As long as its most fundamental parts come from software not developed by the GNU project, it can't possibly be defined as such.

Anthony Sullivan
Why are you derailing a thread about hex editors into autistic software labelling nuance trolling? By the way there are several Linux distros that don't use GNU at all or have the option.
Jordan Barnes
Because that's what those people do now. This is GNU.
Carson Rodriguez
You are just dense. GNU is a software project to create an entirely free clone of Unix. Using Linux does not invalidate it. An OS is not defined by what pieces it uses, but the overarching project. You are a brick wall.
Nathan Hill
>that don't use GNU at all GNU is a project. You can't use or not use it.
Jordan Carter
>>You are just dense. GNU is a software project to create an entirely free clone of Unix. Using Linux does not invalidate it. What exactly do you think is there to "invalidate"? Of course using Linux doesn't magically "invalidate" the GNU project. However, the operating system thus obtained can't possibly be called "the GNU operating system".
>An OS is not defined by what pieces it uses, but the overarching project. The Linux kernel (which was actually started as a *desktop* operating system) was developed independently, originally by Linus Torvalds, and then from thousands of contributors worldwide afterwards, most of which were completely unrelated to the GNU project. Same with most other desktop environments, window managers, init systems... According to your own definition, Linux distributions can't be called "the GNU operating system". Most of the software it runs not only wasn't developed by GNU, it wasn't even developed with being part as part of such project in mind. These operating systems are composed of many pieces of software of diverse, separate origin. If you're gonna name it after one of its components, it's not wrong to use the most critical one.
If you aren't using GNU software, you aren't using GNU. Period. No amount of delusion will change this fact.
>However, the operating system thus obtained can't possibly be called "the GNU operating system". Why not? Why do you think an OS is defined by a single component? >second paragraph You still don't get it. It doesn't matter how much was written by who. You are so dense. I'm not responding again unless you can get this into your head and stop arguing against a strawman. You are dumb. Learn what emphasis is. Dumb yankee.
Mason Scott
>Why not? Why do you think an OS is defined by a single component? I should be asking you the same question.
>You still don't get it. It doesn't matter how much was written by who. You are so dense. I'm not responding again unless you can get this into your head and stop arguing against a strawman. I'll take this as an admittance of defeat. Hiding behind vague definitions such as "project" repeating delusions and calling others "dense" is not going to make your sorry beliefs true. >strawman You don't know what this word means.
Robert Lewis

Connor Gutierrez
The resulting operating system uses a shitload of software which was never even intended to be used as part of such "project". There is no GNU operating system. Not to mention that nearly every distribution is built and maintained by people not related to the GNU "project".
Justin Watson
It's free software. It can be used in any project. How stupid are you? >Not to mention that nearly every distribution is built and maintained by people not related to the GNU "project". They are related because they use the GNU operating system.
Leo Carter
Windows is not even a "project". It was originally developed as a graphical environment for DOS.
James James
Not an emulator
Isaiah Walker
A project to design a graphical environment for DOS.
Angel Murphy
Please stop, this is embarrassing
Parker Bell
You admit defeat.
Benjamin Long
So according to your logic, the Windows operating system doesn't actually exist. Everyone is really using DOS.
Chase Wilson
>All these plebbit niggers unironically shitting on GNU and RMS We can't ban phone posters fast enough
Jacob Thompson
That hasn't been the case for two decades.
Brayden Sullivan
>It's free software. It can be used in any project. How stupid are you? Yes, I'm not saying you can't use free software. In fact, that's what pretty much any popular distribution does in reusing GNU coreutils, Linux, X, init, SSH, GTK, KDE, QT, and a lot of other software. I don't see your point.
There is no such thing as the GNU operating system. There are, however, many operating systems that use its software. >They are related because they use the GNU operating system. They aren't, since there is no such thing.
Ryan Ward
Same for "GNU", then.
Hudson Cook
No one here is shitting on GNU and RMS. We just want to avoid giving them undue credit.
Brandon Myers
>I don't see your point. My point is that the OS is not defined based on who wrote the components. >There is no such thing as the GNU operating system. Yes there is, it is an entirely free Unix clone. >There are, however, many operating systems that use its software. It doesn't have software. The people who started the project just also wrote software, mostly to replace Unix tools. You don't even know what GNU is.
Daniel Allen
GNU was never based on MS-DOS.
Bentley Sanchez
>My point is that the OS is not defined based on who wrote the components. The OS *is* defined by who wrote the components, repeating it won't make it true.
Juan Gomez
Why do you think that?
Dominic Cooper
Just like Linux was never based on GNU.
Eli Morgan
>an os is not defined by the people who wrote it, but instead by my arbitrary autistic definition
Of course it wasn't. GNU is a project and Linux is a kernel. Misquote.
Christopher Wood
>le meme Sure showed him.
Colton Sullivan
GNU is a project. It's not an operating system.
Gabriel Miller
Yes. The GNU operating system is the OS.
Jeremiah Cook
if you're interested in a lightweight IDE with that capability that can also help you with other stuff, KDevelop can do that. I don't remember the last time I needed a hex editing program, so I can't really think of one off the top of my head.
Alexander Perry

Joseph Green

Connor Richardson
Ironic coming from someone who used vague and arguably poorly formed definitions to support his claim.
Kayden Peterson
Not vague at all. Learn English, pajeet.
Angel Edwards
Define what GNU is.
Tyler Young
A software project with the goal of releasing a fully free clone of Unix.
Gavin Turner
It doesn't really seem an operating system itself then, according to this definition.
Joshua Phillips
Retard. GNU ≠ the GNU operating system, which is the free Unix clone that was released. Are you really so stupid that you cannot follow along with a few simple definitions? How do you survive on your own? Dumb cunt.
Leo Smith
There is no such thing as the GNU operating system. All there is, ultimately, is a number of operating systems which use the GNU coreutils along with other software.
Cameron Butler
Wrong. You have no idea what you are talking about. I have corrected your same misconception multiple times now. You are willfully ignorant. Now GTFO.
Blake Campbell
Autistic stallman cocksuckers ruin yet another thread
Kayden Cruz
>ask for a piece of software in linux >100 replies of people arguing whether linux is an operating system you guys are so fucking autistic
Adam Thomas
You can keep parroting that others have "misconceptions", but that doesn't change the fact that the GNU operating system doesn't exist. Using this term merely gives the FSF and Stallman undue credit.
You're right about it being a project and wrong about it being an operating system. The "gnu operating system" is a bunch of userland cli tools that are very often replaced and that barely even get used anymore. The "gnu" on many systems doesn't provide a browser, audio codecs, etc.
Jeremiah Walker
If you just wouldn't be such a fucking brainlet you could harness the power of the terminal.
Bentley Campbell
Unironically a proprietary one: cracked 010 editor
Tyler Carter
GNU runs on kernels besides Linux you fucking retard
Hudson Perry
The GNU operating system does not by definition have to be written by someone working on the GNU project. The goal of GNU, which I have stated, can be realised with any software as long as it is free.
