I use some of these. Krita is definitely a must have for the artistically inclined. It works well with Wacom devices and I've used it to make telegram stickers. Bitwarden is great, but make sure you have your backup password saved somewhere safe. My phone bricked and I had to reset my account.

Signal. While it's primarily a secure message application for phones once you have that setup you can link it to computers as well. Only drawback is that you can only send/receive to other signal users in the desktop application.
I have been using Linux distros for over 10 years. I will say that they have come a long way. They look great, install software well etc. However, since the beginning there is a major weakness - Printers. It has gotten better but still not great. I have recently tried Linux Mint 20.1 and Manjaro 21.04. After installation both see the printer (HP CP1025nw) and have set it up with IPP protocol. Seemed good until I tried to print on a legal size 14" paper. Both would print only as far down the page that a letter size page would be. The rest was blank. I tried every setting available to no avail. The Print preview was fine. Today I tried Fedora 34 and it too set up the printer but nothing would print at all! Not even the test page. in fact the settings module crashed 4 times so clearly this version of Fedora is not ready for prime time. Printing reliably is basic stuff for an O/S. If it can't do that, it's of no use (to me) as I do coding now and then and often need printouts for debugging etc. So long as these kinds of issues are not corrected all the Linux distros are not going very far. I would rather use Linux instead of Windows but Windows has no problems with any printer I have ever had. Lets get this fixed! That's my 2 cents worth.
'Quod Libet' for music. 'KeepassXC' password manager. SMPlayer and SMTube for video. I've slowly started transitioning from Windows to Linux and I find it really helpful to start getting used to the Windows version of the Linux apps before I fully transition to Linux. Your list has been really helpful. I really like Joplin so far as a OneNote and Notion replacement. I only wish Joplin had pen integration like OneNote, or does it?
hehe, I already use most of the apps ... except virtualbox ... kvm + quemu + virt-manager gang! oh for ardour jack server and cadance is a must UMFA does a great job to set you up! and as a utility simple screen recorder is super cool for recording desktops and applications
KDE Connect is very convenient, I have it running under Linux Mint 19.3 and some of the features don't work such as SMS Replying and the indicator keeps on dis/reappearing - I can remotely Control my Linux PC from anywhere in the house.
bpytop, having been written in Python, is not super quick or resource-light. It might not matter to most but on my 11 year old netbook where even htop takes 5% CPU this is crucial. The same author has now released btop written in C++ and it's blazing fast and resource-light. More so than even htop, funnily enough! Update: OK, there already was a video about it on the channel, LOL.
I see AMD processor combined with Linux, which is exactly what I've been building since the early days of Windows 10 and the Intel chip flaws kerfuffle. Many thanks for the update!
Hey man, great video! Thanks for sharing. Let me ask you: What is that distro you're using on the video? Or maybe what are you using to customize it like that? Looks pretty good
i don’t see lbry in your description section although it was mentioned in the video? kde connect sounds interesting but i don’t see a link in the description either for further details, like which phones it supports or if there’s an associated phone app? the rss reader looks really awesome. i also like the transparency opacity setting on your virtualbox. 👍
My List: Brave browser, BleachBit, EtherApe, VLC media player, Graphical Disk map, luckyBackup, Gambas3(development platform based on a Basic interpreter), Mplab X(microcontrollers), FreeCAD, Ultimaker Cura(3d printer)
Hummm noise! I assume that your microphone was sitting on top of your tower or sharing a desk with your tower because it was picking up a low-mid range humm. Great content, though. I am, once again, moving back to Linux from a Win7 machine. I like KDE Plasma, Neon distro... or maybe Dr46gon distro. Thanks for the links, too. Add one more sub.
I would say qemu with kvm is better than virtualbox, because of kvm speeding it up to nearnative performance and responsebility ,and being able to emulate arm devices. I would say virtmanager is only slightly harder to use. For windows users i think virtualbox is good if you want to virutalise linux x86 distros as a beginner.
Gnome boxes ,is like virtualbox LMMS , is like fl studio Web apps , can incorporate Web apps into your system Menu editor , incorporate appimage into your system
6:20 I’d actually recommend using Btop instead of Bpytop. It’s the exact same interface with the exact same functionality, except it’s written in C++ instead of Python. It runs MUCH faster & smoother than Bpytop or Bashtop, and it’s basically the exact same application.
Do you have a video that talks about setting up a list of programs that auto installs to a new linux install? I see all these great programs and need to find a way to install them after each install without remembering all their names. Thanks! Great video!
Nice video. With the upcoming Win11 I am thinking I will be moving to Linux. I only use about 4 to 8 windows programs. Which are paid programs. Moving to Linux for Me is either moving those programs to Linux versions if possible or getting them to run on Linux. I have been playing around with Ubuntu on my pi 4. You know it is not the interface or even the command line in Linux that seems weird to me. It is the lack of those programs I use. Strangely.

Great video. IMO Obsidian gas really shot past Joplin, it's incredibly flexible and you're not locked in since it's all Markdown files.
Hehe I spotted the Bitwarden logo in the browser at the start, so was pleased to see it then feature - I've moved across from Lastpass and love it!
I use some of these. Krita is definitely a must have for the artistically inclined. It works well with Wacom devices and I've used it to make telegram stickers.
Bitwarden is great, but make sure you have your backup password saved somewhere safe. My phone bricked and I had to reset my account.

Mailspring is awesome. I wonder if the premium is worth it
Bitwarden I have been using for a while and it’s great! I got because it was open source and how you can self host so if the company decided to go a bad direction like last pass , I don’t need to scramble for an alternative
I used Bitwarden simply because it was cheaper than last pass and now I don’t wanna go back.
Using Bitwarden with a self hosted server since a few months. Now I can't imagine remembering passwords myself
As a linux noob who's slowly transitioning from windows To linux, i'm Living off these videos right now.

You mentioned some tools I will absolutely need. Thank you. Subbed.
I suggest changing Joplin to Obsidian because the latter is more configurable and more flexible.
