Thread about "indispensables" in Linux

Bueno, pues quería abrir este hilo, donde los que usamos linux en nuestras maquinas para el uso diario podemos comentar sobre algunas utilidades, aplicaciones, scripts etc para distribuciones linux que pueden aportarnos grandes cosas.

Empezare comentando una que me ha gustado bastante.

Se trata de Gnome DO
La encontré buscando una alternativa linuxera a uno de mis programas preferidos de OSX, QuickSilver. Lo uso desde que soy usuario de mac (que a lo tonto ya son 6 años). Y en mi intención de dejar el mundo hackintosh hy buscar algo mas optimizado para mi hardware he decidido migrar el Sobremesa a Ubuntu con lo que necesitaba hacer mas amena la transición.
Es un lanzador de aplicaciones, pero tambien un buscador de archivos, ejecutor de comandos, etc.

También hay que mencionar, aunque supongo que estos ya son mas de dominio publico, Transmission, Chrome y Spotify (que me funciona perfecto en ubuntu).

A ver que cosas descubrimos entre todos.

This thread doesn't deserve to be forgotten, although when you posted it I was still almost exclusively using Windows. The bad thing is that I don't have much to contribute or at least nothing revolutionary or out of the ordinary.

My essential is Gimp.

The truth is that I can't do anything related to graphics if Gimp isn't around, both for editing more or less complex things, like resizing photos or creating a simple logo for a website. Besides, in Linux it has always started veryyy fast, much more than in Windows, although it should be taken into account that I have always been a Gnome 2.x user and both share the GTK libraries.

Others that can't be missing are the classics Firefox, Thunderbird and LibreOffice. I also forgot Clementine as a music player.

As a curiosity, I should say that I also use all the mentioned programs on Windows.

A constant in my daily experience as a user is the ace trio formed by Shutter, Libreoffice, and Chromium. In the background, doing the backing vocals Transmission and the invaluable constancy behind the scenes of Dropbox. I always try to have Gparted close by, for the sake of keeping every bit of the hard drive under control, which are then formatted freely. The rest, I like to keep trying and researching new applications, so I don't get too attached to them, until they demonstrate a quality and utility (both terms are subjective).

Best regards

I used to use Transmission as well, but I tried Ktorrent which is much more configurable and I liked it better. It's also not heavy and doesn't use up many resources, so it's welcome.

For me these are: · Okular: PDF viewer · Kwrite: plain text editor · Amarok: play music · VLC: play both audio and video · K3B: yes, I still tinker with recordable CDs and DVDs very occasionally · Firefox · Thunderbird · Skype · KTorrent: I don't like it too much because when it's been on for a while the PC gets sluggish. I prefer transmission but since this is the one that comes by default in KDE and I use it very occasionally, it's the one I use. · aMule: essential for finding anything anywhere, even if it's a bit slow to download. · KRCD with rdesktop: remote desktop for Terminal Server. I will soon stop using it because of a change of platform on emule-pc. · Gkrellm: small monitor of CPU, memory, network, etc... usage · Ark with unrar: container manager. Although Fileroller is much better, but since I don't use it much either, I leave Ark which is the one that comes by default with KDE. · Adobe Flash Player: it only has support for security updates now but it's essential for viewing the media of the main audio and video portals. · KDEenlive: for making video montages. · Libreoffice · Virtualbox: I use it quite regularly especially to test versions of test distros. · Dropbox: cloud storage · Owncloud: my own dropbox with 500 gb for 8€/year in electricity bills. · Steam: although it's still in testing, I've used it quite a lot lately · Gwenview: photo viewer. · Arduino IDE: for programming ATMega328P microcontrollers This is the basics for all the PCs I have although I usually use more specific software.

@cobito:

· Amarok: reproducir música
· K3B: sí, todavía trasteo con cds y dvd grabables muy de vez en cuando

These are two that I will have to try when I return to KDE after a mountain of years (if I finally do it) although K3B is an old acquaintance, and yes, I still burn CDs/DVDs for some distro and for the car's music.

@cobito:

· Arduino IDE: for programming ATMega328P microcontrollers

I have this in mind, some friends are teasing me with the bug and I have something in mind that I will be putting here soon.

I add Everpad, which serves to synchronize with Evernote from linux. It is quite simple and easy to use.

In three commands you have it installed and working.

Never fail in my initial apt-get

• Liferea (RSS reader)
• LibreOffice (office suite)
• Transmission (torrents)
• GIMP (graphics manipulation)
• FileZilla (FTP)
• Calibre (eBooks)
• GNUCash (personal finance)
• KeepPassX (password manager)
• VLC (multimedia)
• Inkscape (vector design)
