Let's have a thread about great Lignux applications that are all too often overlooked. I'll start.
KKEdit: A great alternative to gEdit with less cruft, that keeps the classic gtk2 gui.
- http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/kkedit-text-editor-inspired-by-bbedit.html
- http://gnomefiles.org/content/show.php?content=158161
Clam Chordata: Displays the chords of any song you feed it in real time. Super useful for learning songs that you can't find proper tabs or sheet music for anywhere.
- http://clam-project.org/wiki/Chordata_tutorial
I-Nex: Essentially CPU-Z for Lignux.
- http://i-nex.linux.pl/
Xiphos: Great Sword-based biblical text tool.
- http://xiphos.org/
Pithos: A lightweight Pandora radio client. Best on any platform I've seen.
- http://pithos.github.io/
ULMAC: An audio converter and auto-tagger for people with large collections of live music recordings.
- https://sites.google.com/site/ulmacsoftware/home
Skippy-XD: Like Expose, but for lightweight Lignux DEs like Xfce and LXDE / LXQt.

Easytag is a really good music taggin application.
Vitetris is a fun terminal game.
urxvtd is not really a single program, but not many people use it, it is a deamon for urxvt, so new urxvt windows spawn faster and use less memory.
mpd+ncmpcpp, nor really obscure but whatever, best music setup ever.
mpv, same, but just the best video player
>>42906160
>mpd+ncmpcpp, nor really obscure but whatever, best music setup ever.
That's an half true. It's shit for people who just want to listen to music. You need to configure it (a fucking music player!!) in order to do basic tasks.
Almost nobody use the most advanced features such as listening to music remotely.
>>42906205
eh, it is also good fot "just listening" to music, it uses almost no resources, you can controll mpd with a dozen of clients, or just use keystrokes. and it doesn't lag when searching through big (10000+ songs) music libraries.
>>42906043
>Canto
The best RSS reader I've ever used and It's ncurses!

Because using your keyboard to traverse your filesystem and stuff is just so efficient.
It also has great image previews.

>dwb and other keyboard only browsers
Why are you still sticking to chrom/firefox/opera shit?
>>42906160
More:
FVWM, very good and old/stable window manager, yet almost noone uses it (in destkop threads at least). It's also ultra configurable.
MVWM - https://github.com/ThomasAdam/mvwm ,a project by the developer of FVWM, cleaning the code base, and adding modern stuff, I build it myself and it works perfectly.
dev-tcltk/expect
tool for automating interactive applications
OS X: It's like shitnux, but not shit. It's pretty great
Windows: like shitnux, it's shit...but you can gaymen on it
Photoshop: like the GIMP, but not shit
>>42906346
Nobody uses it because its built in features are ass and it's heavily deprecated by openbox, which doesn't even need configuration to be usable.
>GUI config tools everywhere
>ligshitnux
No
>>42906343
Flash
Java
Full CSS2/3 and HTML4/5 compliance
Not timesinks to customize to do basic things like block ads
Don't have to read a book to use them
puddletag is like Mp3tag, but available for Linux systems. It uses Qt, which I like.
>>42906541
lol i kno rite what a bunch of nerds XDDD
>>42906514
openbox can't do half the things fvwm can
>>42906326
>RANGER
Fucking no fucking shit fuck shit
Let me tell you about the flaws of ranger
>Does not respect system mime type associations
>Uses python builtins for all operations instead of shell utilities so everything is fucking slow
>Python is not multithreaded and never will be. One large operation will drag the entire file manager down.
>You want basic shit like archive management? There's a plugin for that. And extracting may or may not work all of the time. Sometimes, it'll just hang near the end. Great.
>Only does tabs. No drag and drop, no split views for different active dirs.
>Image previews only work in certain terminals, don't work in tmux, and are not cached
Ranger is a great example of software written with all of the wrong tools (python, curses, w3m) that would actually be less bloated and harmful if it were done with GTK
>>42906043
i-nex seems neat, but it downloads a lot of dependencies across a million repos
every time you launch it i opens up the i-nex site along with the tool
cpu-g, a simple python program, seems to do the same stuff but be far less bloated
>>42906580
It can do everything relevant and useful that FVWM can
>>42906600

By the way the only people who ever wanted the linux desktop were zealous freetards and disgruntled windows users

That's GTK, not Linux.
Linux is a kernel and does not have a "file dialog".

Also linux doesn't do "loading" for 5 minutes after rebooting. and they warn you and don't unexpectedly turn your computer off after 10 minutes.
>>42906949
Kernel update.
Happens every so often, not every time you start your PC.
>>42906921
Notice that nobody has actually posted a KDE dialog
Because nobody using linux actually gives a flying fuck about this. It mostly affects shitposting addicts that like to avatarfag from their massive reaction image collections, degenerates trying to find the right gay yiff to post on /b/, and people who use the file manager to manage their photos instead of putting them on picasa/facebook or some shit.

>ITT: Windows shills being pricks and then attacking the Linux community for being bitter
>>42906973
I don't understand how _anyone_ at MS thinks that is acceptable, Windows updates are just incredibly painful.
I wonder why it is that bad, is it NTFS?
Linux users often get called autists, but judging from that furious Windows/OS X shill ITT it seems like users of those operating systems are the true autists.
ITT: One guy wastes his time posting doctored images because he can't stand that someone might be better at computing than he is.

Calligra Flow is pretty cool. People looking for something like Visio might like it. At the very least, it's better then LibreOffice Draw for these things. It also has a good selection of stencils, including pretty much every networking device (using Cisco standard iconography).
https://www.calligra.org/flow/
Fish Shell. A more interactive shell. If you rarely use your terminal, and don't want to go about configuring zsh and plugins - it's a friendly alternative that makes those trips a little easier.
http://fishshell.com/
Krusader is an MC-style file manager for KDE. Dolphin is plenty capable, but if you prefer an orthodox file manager, you don't neccessarily have to restrict yourself to the command line.
http://www.krusader.org/
SFLPhone is a Qt (or GTK) SIP and IAX softphone. Of course most people don't need a softphone - but those that do typically end up using a piece of shit like Linphone, or install something else like Ekiga. I'd argue it's the best Qt softphone, but I can't actually think of another one right now.
http://sflphone.org/
Finally there is puddletag. A good Qt music file tag editor in the vein of Mp3tag (spreadsheet-style). The closest thing KDE and Qt have to Easytag. Unless you can work out JuK or Kid3.

Dude, you nailed it. Linux users want it to be the king of the desktop (which is quickly being killed in favor of mobile OSes anyway), but they berate anyone who asks a dumb question. But by the same token, Linux is a mess. They can't pick a standard. They don't want.one. They want choice. But you can't have it all. And it confuses any user who is curious about Linux who IS interested in getting away from M$ or Apple. They're their own worst enemies. Linux - great server OS. Shit desktop OS.

the Linux freaks out there hav really sabotaged the greater success of Linus Torvalds vision. Instead of bringing us all together within a functioning, workable and low maintenace environment, the LINUX evangelists have fractured support by their wish to NOT encourage a stable working model, instead it remains a beard stroking, basement dwellers Hobby kit. I have dealt with Linux for over a decade and it's a shame those in the industry are often so unhelpful.

Redhat is the only name in linux
Systemd is its only init and yum is its package manager
Anything that works on one redhat based system will work on another
Redhat is funded by multiple corporations and sees real use on desktops and servers
But then the evil jew shuttleworth snatched up debian, a shit distro for hobbyists and poorfags, and created ubuntu. "I will fracture linux and make my own OS! Fuck redhat!" said the kike, and so he tried
When his programmers wrote patches, upstream did not receive them, and when upstream wanted them, they were too bad to accept. When wayland was made, he started incompatible mir. His only loss? Switching to systemd, because upstart was too much work to maintain
But fear not, ubuntu will die, and then there will only be one linux with more than 100 years

Meanwhile Microsoft is pissing around with four different versions of their operating system, with vast incompatibilities between each, including an entirely different non-backwards-compatible application architecture for Win 8+, and now two versions of DirectX that come with the subtitle "When we said we 'support' Windows 7 - we mean you should go buy Windows 8".
But that's just what's on the top layer of shit - this is the company that created a standard that says we need to treat 1900 as a leap year, despite what reality says. The company that made an audio subsystem that managed to kill network throughput when active. If they can do that much, they must be working with some tagliatelle-tier internal design.

You're either autistic, retarded or both. I'd say both if you use shitnux unironically
The ignorance in this thread is just mind boggling. I can't imagine the trolls are anything but shills or literally mentally handicapped.

oh you shitnux users

In terminal.
You're welcome.
>>42907517
because you're a goddamn retard?

Dude I use linux like you. I'm not your enemy, you should cll the other guy a retard for for ruining this thread
>>42907431
Where does the thumbnail thing come from? You really have no clue what you are talking about do you? I've yet to find a distro that this is a thing in.
>>42907632
but anon, i'm a macfag.
>>42907649
see
>>42907213
ask that shitnix what distro he uses
The fact that people CARE what operating system someone uses is ridiculously idiotic. Its a simple case of "stop liking what I don't like". The fact the people go out of their way to make infographics like that is just crazy. Some people use their OS for an ideological reason, some use theirs for convenience, some use theirs because thats all they know, but in the end, everybody just uses the os they WANT to use, it is autistic to have a problem with that. Also arguing that closed-source=higher quality is baseless.
meanwhile, in windows threads lintards always fail to derail the thread. You autists need some self-control, holy fuck

- Straight up not true, but even if you invest 10 minutes into learning how to use said terminal then you'll find everything becomes /easier/
- And? Use free alternatives
- Your anecdotal experience != truth
- Your anecdotal experience != truth
- WINE is pretty shit, but if you're in a tight spot and the stars align correctly in can be handy
- Dell ships devices with Ubuntu. Enough said
>a device designed to lock me into a particular vendor's products doesn't work with other products
- True. Someone should get on that
- Drivers are built into the kernel, and device support is pretty solid nowadays. And having many distros is a benefit, its not that complicated particularly compared to the benefits they bring
- Again, untrue. See pic from http://www.techrepublic.com/article/open-source-vs-proprietary/
- See above. If you think people are too stupid to learn a basic syntax in about 30 seconds of reading then you severely underestimate people. Not to mention that CLI is the simplest and, in my opinion at least, most efficient UI form there is
- See above. Package format fragmentation might be a pain, but if you're talking about people too stupid to learn bash then they don't care
- Kernel exploits, security vulnerabilities? Compare CVE lists between Windows and Linux. Viruses? Low market share means less attention, plus open development practices lessen the threat posed by zero days and the tradition of breaking otherwise large, monolithic applications into ones that "do one thing and do it well" reduces attack surface. And most modern filesystems in widespread use on Linux desktops don't fragment at all (excluding near-full scenarios), particularly compared to FSs like the abysmal NTFS and FAT which fragment like the respective bitches they are

you are a masterb8er sir
I manage about 50 linux servers (Debian), but I exclusively use Windows 8.1 Update on my work computer, home computer, and laptop. I also have a Nokia Windows Phone, which is amazing.
I mostly use linux at work to improve my job security.
I wonder what the turnover rate is on 4chan.
For people to not just not recognise the same images that get posted over and over again in troll threads, but to actually respond and reply to them.

Because you don't use Emacs? If you do, try some other editing shortcuts

I don't think so.

some kind of freetard is borrowing money from M$ to make this shit post.
Maybe it's Miguel de Icaza

Even its a bait, its actually true... Linux is waste of time as a home os

Mp3tag does just fine in WINE. Why fix what's already perfect?
>>42907709
Thank you based anon. It's near impossible for a single thread to go on without an inane argument about software, operating systems, or something of that sort. This is /g/ - technology of course, but these children are shaking, sweating, screaming, and slamming on their keyboards out of anger just because people they'll likely never meet are using something they dislike. It's kinda lame.
Kolourpaint is a simple painting program in the likes of MS Paint.
Krita is more advanced digital painting software, though I doubt this is obscure in the slightest.
YouTube Viewer for MPlayer2 gives you a graphical interface to browse YouTube without ever going on the site. You browse videos in a little window, and then stream directly to MPlayer2.
KDE Connect is software that helps integrate a KDE desktop and an Android phone in a variety of ways.
TuxPaint is a simple paint program that is perfect for children, the interface being made with them in mind.
>this thread still going
Just like your dad
You never change
Kdenlive, PiTiVi, and Cinelerra are all advanced video editors for Linux.
F-Droid is an unofficial repository of FOSS Android software.
SoundKonverter is a Qt-based graphical frontend for SoundConverter. Slap in some files and convert them to another format easily.
SimpleScreenRecorder is a tool to record your desktop or part thereof. It is simple to set up and use, and has experimental OpenGL recording support.

Okay, wait a minute, ranger uses vim key controls doesn't it? And if you wanted vim that much, isn't there a file managing plugin for vim? Why does that exist? Sounds like a hobby project for neckbeards.
>>42906895
Not true, the only actual difference is that on Linux you don't have to reboot.
>>42914776
Stop responding to them.

I've set Kubuntu up for a few members of my family and they find it works fine.
None of them are very computer literate.
>>42911485
Nigger what, if anything it's the same. Install Debian or Manjaro if you don't want to "waste" time. The entire point of FOSS software is that it lets you make the choices. If you choose to use something which takes more effort than you want to put in, it's your own fault.
tl;dr only use a babby/neckbeard distro if you are the babby or neckbeard the distro is meant for
>>42906972
thunar does.
>>42914900
As does Dolphin. He picked one of the only programs that can't.
>>42907064
Haha that looks like a Quentin comic
I don't know who's trolling who anymore
But all the bait in this thread is almost as old as /g/ what is wrong with you people
