I moved to Linux!

Fedora Workstation. I was trying to duel boot with Windows 10, but when I rebooted, I booted into Fedora once, then into Windows, and then I could not get back into Linux!
So I said screw it, and just wiped the drive and installed Fedora on the whole drive.
So what are you favourite Linux apps?
-
That's how to do it! Welcome to the dark side.
-
What kind of apps are you looking for? I actually use extremely few. Terminal, Atom, Firefox, Chrome, Skype for Linux.... that's about it.

No, I looked at it very briefly and it seemed a little neat but there was something that it didn't do and it just didn't have anything that I wanted. I use VirtualBox when I need VMs on Linux.

Atom is nice find! You should really take a second look at boxes! It's wonderful!

I live in a shell, so all the things I use every day are all command line based.
- nano - text editor
- glances - system performance information, cpu, memory, block throughput, network throughput, and sensor information (temp mostly)
- vi/vim - text editor, have to have it, but don't like it
- mutt - email reader

How does glances compare to netdata? https://github.com/firehol/netdata

You live in a CLI shell, I live in a GUI shell

glances does the same thing, but only for the one system. So if you need to manage lots of things, netdata is better!

Good on you. Too bad you chose Fedora though
I have a tri boot with 2 Win10 and one Mint, default to Mint, which i will probably nuke and replace with Kubuntu -

Still easy mode, he has nano. I don't even have nano.

Use VirtManager. Boxes is way limited. I can control everything with VirtManager running on my Chromebook.
- Atom
- Gimp
- Inkscape
- Audacious
- Backintime
- Remmina
- Cockpit
- Tmux
- Ansible
- Chrome (for Netflix and such)
- VLC
- Pithos
No particular order here, just stuff I have.
If you really want to be focused, use i3 instead of a full DE.

Very similar to what I use, other than XAPI and various RDP clients.
I also like Midnight Commander and ZSH instead of FISH. -

Why use VirtualBox when you have the much more capable and performant KVM included in any distribution?

Tried both. One worked great. One did nothing.

I use KVM all of the time on mine and it's great. Not sure what your issue is.

Issues are with Boxes. It just did... nothing.
