On: Falling for Kubernetes

[quickthrower2]

I like Lens, as more of a GUIs fan, and very occasional k8s-er. It has saved me a lot of time.

Lens has been bought by another company, the same one that bought Docker, and they are not playing nice with the community.

Some people have forked it to remove the newly added trackers, the forced login, and the remote execution of unknown code, but I sadly guess that it will become a corporate nightmare and the forks will not be popular enough to really take over the development.

Which fork do you recommend?

You have a few OpenLens and one LibreLens and so far they only remove the newly added controversial features.

That’s the one I use but the fork owner does not seem interested in maintaining the whole project. His fork is mostly a patch.

Owner here, i have stated the current situation and why not make a full fork atm.
