Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm!
I always keep GIMP and VLC player installed. If you get comfortable using command line. Tmux and Neovim are a great duo.
- helix (vim like text editor)
- kate (kde text editor)
- dolphin (kde file manager)
- supertuxcart (most modern linux game)
random suggestion but do you play guitar? take a look at guitarix if so, you won’t be disappointed
Here’s some creative software that replace the functionalities of Adobe software & more.
- photo editing: GIMP
- vector images: Inkscape
- drawing/painting: Krita (GIMP also fine for this)
- video editing: kdenlive
- 3d modelling, animating, etc.: Blender
- audio editing: Tenacity (Audacity fork made after the buyout without telemetry)
- DAW: LMMS
- media player: VLC or mpv
if there’s any other specific software you’re looking for a FOSS alternative to, don’t hesitate to ask. You always have more options on Linux than you’d think.
