Korora/Fedora 25: list of useful apps
-
For us noobs coming from Windows, what are some of the apps one might find useful & productive.
I've reserved the 1st spot to keep the list clean.
Apps as simple as file managers, screen captures, screen sharing etc to full blown paid apps are welcome!
-
This is tough to answer because we all use different things. I install external tools like NextCloud Client and Rocket Chat client, but that's about it. Other than that, things like the file manager I use is just the default.+
-
Most stuff comes pre-loaded... so the list is pretty small. I mostly stick to the defaults.
I like to install (in addition to what's already pre-installed):
- Visual Studio Code + PowerShell Debugger (manage windows stuff from Linux powershell)
- Chrome (so much smoother than firefox)
- Glances
- Wireshark
- TeamViewer
- Veeam Agent for Linux Free
- qemu/KVM (for Win10 VM to manage Windows network (RSAT))
Nothing more at the moment, but I'll add later if others come up.
-
I add Chrome too, but use FF as my main browser.

I've used FF as my main browser for so long... and I tried out Chrome the other day because it was giving me issues on a lot of websites... one example, here on ML. When you click the vertical ... to edit your post, you don't get a drop down and have to use arrow keys. Got so annoying. I tried Chrome, problem solved. Chrome also made everything else much better, even the way it looks in Linux is better, such as the book marks bar and everything.
On Windows I use Edge 99% of the time, no issues.

so you're the guy using Edge.
Will, my users would only use Edge if there wasn't another shortcut made for them to IE or Chrome. /sigh.

- Firefox (preinstalled with Cinnamon)
- Wireshark - because I need to read packet captures from phones
- Shutter - Greenshot replacement
- Chrome - Just to have a second browser

Don't hold back, keep 'em coming!

Chrome, Atom, Shutter, Inkscape, Telegram.
If I'm on Gnome 3 I install a few extensions: dropdown terminal, dash to dock, caffeine, the screen recorder one (can't remember the name), coverflow, and I turn on applications and places menus.
Used to use Moka icons but switched to Papirus.

Themes look good. Didn't see any Applets, Desklets or whatever that seemed like things that I would want.

I looked at the landing page and decided none of it is interesting.
I am not a theme person really.
I like a changing background, but that is about it.
The rest can rot. Widget are just f***ing stupid.
-
Yeah, things running on my desktop space is really weird. I never look at the desktop.

I like a changing background because I often see parts of it..
Like this (recently rebooted so not much open)
-
Yeah, I see it when the system boots

That usually lasts about 10 seconds for me, lol.
