Subsurface is a software for logging and planning scuba dives. It was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds and Dirk Hohndel in 2011.[citation needed]

Subsurface is free and open-source software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.[citation needed]

Overview

Until version 3.9.2, Subsurface used GTK+ for its graphical user interface and with version 4.0, Subsurface switched to Qt 4.[3] At the LCA2014, Torvalds and Hohndel explained why they choose to re-write the GUI using Qt.[4][5]

Subsurface further depends on GConf, SQLite, ATK and makes use of OpenStreetMap and/or OpenSeaMap.[citation needed]

Subsurface officially runs on Linux, OS X and Microsoft Windows. It is written using the POSIX API and not the Linux API, so it should be portable to any POSIX-compliant operating system.

As Subsurface binary software deployment for Linux users for the various Linux distributions turned out to be problematic,[6][7] the packaging was changed to a portable, self-contained, distro-agnostic AppImage in 2015.[8]

  7. This is just very cool. by Linus Torvalds on Google+ Dirk Hohndel: "I, as the app maintainer, don't want my app bundled in a distribution anymore. Way to much pain for absolutely zero gain. Whenever I get a bug report my first question is "oh, which version of which distribution? which version of which library? What set of insane patches were applied to those libraries?". No, Windows and Mac get this right. I control the libraries my app runs against. [...] With an AppImage I can give them just that. Something that runs on their computer."" (2015-11-25)
