From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me, it's hands down Flameshot. The best screenshot tool in the world - I've got it hooked up to my PrtScrn key for super easy screenshots.

I also love Kwrite as a Notepad++ alternative, and KolourPaint as a MSPaint alternative

Pinta. It's like paint.net but works on Linux. Quick and simple way to edit images on Linux.

Have you tried kdenlive? If so, how would you say they compare?

[–] Wolfizen@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

I've used both and I prefer kdenlive

Definitely the clipboard manager. On kde, it's klipper. This is actually such an underrated piece of software that I can't live without. Windows has one too, but they added their's a little after all the linux desktop environments got one by default.

Kubernetes, Docker and mpv.

Apostrophe. The perfect, slick markdown editor.

Thanks for the recommendation, I installed Flameshot on Windows and it's quite a bit better than the built-in tool.

you're on windows, get sharex. It's miles ahead of anything else. It's the only thing I miss from daily driving windows.

I both installed kwrite and kate... whats the huge difference there? That one is more code focused and has git implementstion but still the same?

[–] djrubbie@lm.bittervets.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are essentially built with the same text editing component, more specifically, kwrite makes use of kate through kparts for the editing component only, to provide a more stripped down interface as compared to kate.

Probably emacs, or wine along with dxvk

I just use the one built into gnome, it's the best one I've found yet having come from lightshot on windows, it just works exactly how I'd expect it to and doesn't get in my way

As for my favourite think it's gotta be either obsidian or Vscode/ium
