What is the BEST GNU/Linux software you have ever used? Bonus points if it's not available on Microsoft Windows.
Gonna have to go with The GIMP or GNU Emacs even though they're both available on Microsoft Windows
mpv
mpd + ncmpcpp
feh
ranger
what the fuck is gnu/linux software?
>>54803438
I'm gonna go with the Linux kernel.
Or GCC. That's also really useful.
>>54803886
none of it is GNU or Linux
>>54803911
Meant to reply to >>54803492
>>54803903
GCC isn't linux
Probably guake and apt-get
Renoise
>>54803926
oh.. i was sure the thread is just about open source software
Samba
>>54803953
It's about software that runs on linux
>>54803438
gimp is garbage by any objective measure tbphwy
>>54803911
>>54803926
You said GNU or Linux software. GCC is GNU. Linux is Linux. Both super useful, seeing as they're both used a lot.
GCC and Linux both are used on the most used Linux distro, too! Ubuntu.
>>54803976
Most GNU software does, m8.
Libreoffice. It's not a sexy answer, but 99% of my time I either surf or use LO
qbittorrent
>>54803438
one that surprised me was gtkPod
it was waaaay better alternative to itunes
>>54803438
Firefox, GIMP, VLC
GNU/bash
GNU/ffmpeg, or as I've recently been calling it Gnu^ffmpeg
GNU+gimp
gnu/linux
gnu/bash
g̶n̶u̶ apache/ImageMagick
gnu/ffmpeg
gnu/mpv
gnu/vlc
gnu/gimp
WINE
>>54804035
This. Kinda wish someone like the OpenBSD folks would fork GIMP. Why are the GNU folks so incompetent?
>>54804243
>GNU/ffmpeg, or as I've recently been calling it Gnu^ffmpeg
unetbootin
rufus
7zip
well i used photorec to recover an almost finished project from my laptop after i reformatted it without backing it up so im impressed by that right now.
LibreOffice would be my nr 1 anwser if they would reorganize the menus and git the impress gud. I mean they should really use stable releases for bugfixing and development for fixing the menus.
Also VLC. it plays everything, forget what people who cant set it up properly say. Would like a gtk version for gnome tho.

Linux is GPLv2 licensed.
G for GNU General Public License.

>>54804652
actually GNU software is just software thats part of FSF GNU Project, not all random software that chose GPL for licensing.
http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html
>>54803976
It really isn't. Ui is not pretty but the software itself is pretty good.
>>54804939
>actually GNU software is just software thats part of FSF GNU Project
Nope. Stallman wrote the GPL which means he contributed to the project to keep it open and freedom so that means he gets credit for any GPL licensed software.
>>54803438
Zsh, dnf, and Libre office. Once I saw that you could make docx files in it I was super impressed.
>>54803438
I was gonna say OpenSSH, but that's not GNU/Linux software, it's BSD software.
gcc
gnu coreutils
>>54806751

It's called coreutils you dipshit
>>54806881
zsh is better
>>54806963
pf is better
xfce4
>>54807003
>zsh is better
Compatibility issues. I'd rather stick to bash
>>54804379
Rufus has a linux version?
>>54806999
p7zip is not in coreutils, though.
GNU coreutils are great (unfortunately available on botnet, too). I hate using Busybox which is so limited compared to GNU.
>>54807059
Bloated as fuck though. GNU true is like 100 lines of code.
>>54807021
Compatibility to what?
I can't believe nobody said vim yet. ffs at least 4 people said open office wtf is wrong with you. vim for the love of God. also, yes core utils and zsh. cmus too
>>54807356
vim was not originally written for Linux nor is it part of GNU
>>54803438

systemd

Galaxies screensaver.
>>54808648
You sound upset. Did OpenRc destroy your xorg.conf again?
>>54808681
did you really just mix memes?
You never mix memes, also Arch rocks.
>>54808690
There are two big problems with OpenRC: first, most if not all OpenRC systems
are completely broken (missing daemons, lingering processes, etc. are just the
tip of the iceberg); secondly, it should be called GNU/OpenRC.
For these reasons, it is impossible to support OpenRC on Linux. Problems
appearing on OpenRC systems will usually simply be ignored unless they can be
reproduced on non-OpenRC systems.
>>54804343
It's because most people don't want to contribute because they'd rather not be locked down by the license.
Stellarium. So good
>>54808681
I use runit in Void, so no. Never had a problem with it.
>>54808737
That has nothing to do with GNU developers being amateurish dumbasses.
