    Most of 'em. Here are some highlights.

    • vi/vim. The one true text editor
    • thunderbird. Standard email client
    • musicbee. Absolutely the BEST audio player/organizer anywhere. Sadly, not available on Linux
    • potplayer. Just a simple, high quality video player
    • LibreOffice. Used to be almost as good as MS. Now it is far better.
    • FIrefox, sort of. I’ve lately switched to Waterfox, which is from the same code base as ff.

    Darkstone (1999) - Good game for a Diablo clone.

    Debian-flavored Linux - My only complaints are hardware compatibility-related, and that is primarily because Nvidia and Intel both suck Microsoft’s floppy disk.

    Krita, Gimp, Blender - Never needed another art program. Adobe can eat my paintbrush.

    LibreOffice - I would literally have this over MSOffice any and every day of the week.

    VLC - It just frickin’ works. And it’s good at its job. It plays anything!

    InkScape.

    I don’t fully know why but vector graphics just work for me in a way that pixel graphics don’t. I love fiddling with vectors.

      Vector is amazing for things that potentially need to be resized. I do a lot of scale drawings for work, and I never know if it’s going to be printed on something as small as letter size paper, or blown all the way up to something like a plotter blueprint size print. And working in vector means the gigantic plotter print isn’t blurry, because the drawing isn’t comprised of individual pixels that blur when you zoom them in or out.

      It also means I can get extremely fine detail on something that may normally only be tiny on a page. For instance, maybe I have a 50’x50’ room, and I have a small 4 inch object to place in it. On the regular letter paper size, that will basically just be a dot. But I can zoom waaaay in for a detailed image of that object if needed.

      Oh, dear. Trello enshittified? :( I thought it was really cool when we used it for a project at work back in … oh, maybe 2016? Way too long ago.

        Yep, my final straw was when they added an ad that couldn’t be removed that blocked 1/3 of your board. It could be “minimized”, but it still blocked a portion of the board.

          Oof, that’s rough. Guess I didn’t miss out when we stopped using it back in the day. Although…at that shop, we switched to Jira. What a mess.

          At the time, I really appreciated the simplicity of Trello. Nothing else I’ve used has come close. Working as a programmer, I really just want a simple system.

    Many. The oldest and most popular ones are maybe

    vi bash putty Firefox Notepad++ Irfanview Vlc OBS

              Personally, I don’t use IrfanView for editing because there are far better alternatives (Rawtherapee, Krita, Gimp if must be) but it is great for browsing photos because it is so fast and versatile.

              Scanning is pretty neat too.

        IrfanView, haven’t heard that one mentioned for a long time.

        It is very fast, eats all formats including RAW, can delete without stupid questions, and I use the “batch rename” a lot.

        Have yet to find a replacement on Linux…

          Really? I always considered irfanview to be tolerable if I had to use windows but nothing special, and the licensing has issues.

      Unless you’re trying for the AAA “BESTEST GRAPHICS EBAR!” you don’t need a super powerful video card anymore. There’s many games, much better too, that don’t require that much hardware to run.

        Big true. I’m obviously not doing any raytracing but it still ran Cyberspace. And it DLSS is turning out to be bunk but AMD’s FRS algorithm helps with a lot of stuff

            Yeah so many production companies are trying to incentivize you to buy shit.

            Unless they’re using Unreal Engine 5, them they just have no idea wtf they’re doing and you’ll have to read online how to edit the options ini to make it run

        my 2080 (that I think is 5 years old??) is just smashing all the steam games I can throw at it.

      Don’t worry. They stopped unless you have an order for 200,000 units. My GeForce 1650 has gotten me through some tough years. I sure hope I have the opportunity to affordably upgrade next decade.
