I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

for a bit more context, ncdu is a Disk Usage analyzer that runs in the terminal. If you've ever used WizTree on windows, its kinda like that. Really useful to see whats taking up space on your disk

Here’s some creative software that replace the functionalities of Adobe software & more.

  • photo editing: GIMP
  • vector images: Inkscape
  • drawing/painting: Krita (GIMP also fine for this)
  • video editing: kdenlive
  • 3d modelling, animating, etc.: Blender
  • audio editing: Tenacity (Audacity fork made after the buyout without telemetry)
  • DAW: LMMS
  • media player: VLC or mpv

if there’s any other specific software you’re looking for a FOSS alternative to, don’t hesitate to ask. You always have more options on Linux than you’d think.

    Jumuta,
    • helix (vim like text editor)
    • kate (kde text editor)
    • dolphin (kde file manager)
    • supertuxcart (most modern linux game)
    Zastyion345,

    I would recommend XonoticIts like unreal tournament and its fantastic. Smooth as butter no lags.

    Unmapped,

    I always keep GIMP and VLC player installed. If you get comfortable using command line. Tmux and Neovim are a great duo.
