Krita is wonderful for artists/creators. Free open aource krita with an art tablet? I mean people have made absolutely masterpieces using Krita. Bit of a learning curve but rewarding.
Gimp and Krita are both fantastic if I had to differentiate. Krita is for artist's/creators; an ultimate painters tool kit. Gimp is more so an inage editor but no less fantastic imo but perhaps broader/more general in its use/application.
Depends what you're using them for. Krita is an art program, while GIMP is (as the name would imply) an image editor. They're not really directly comparable
I would recommend Logseq! Its a libre text editor inspired by roam, and I would say its like a more atomic version of obsidian. Its very good in my opinion and worth trying out, has a nice and friendly community too just like Obsidian.
OBS is an absolute powerhouse and the go to software for video recording or streaming, it is a shame that it doesn't run properly on some distributions due to the X11 to Wayland transition. If you want an example Debian 11 is one of them, neither the deb, the snap or the flatpak are competelly functional. Even compiling from source carries the same issues. I miss it a lot and hope this transition period will end soon.
Hey! Yea I have been trying OBS in several distros now, both the package and flatpaks. The flatpaks seems to carry the same issue, where the VAAPI encoder just overload and hangs up recording and won't start streaming. The deb in Debian so far have been ok for me, but after trying recording several videos in a row, last half was all corrupt. Extremely annoying. On Manjaro it was a hassle too, same with Fedora. I think I had it ok on Mint but at this point I'm not sure anymore.... which distro do you recommend for the best OBS specific experience? I know the official package is built for Ubuntu, but I don't want to run Ubuntu due to snaps. Flatpak is going to be official supported soon though, so these packages might be best going forward.
@@kbaeve The flatpack issues could be derived from flatpak's sandboxing, try using Flatseal to tinker with the configuration and to enable graphical acceleration. I have a modern AMD GPU (RX 6800 XT) with the Mesa drivers so I did not run into encoding shenannighans in my main computer. The problems I run into are window capture issues: the different versions of OBS either capture X11 or Wayland windows, never both. I think our best bet is to wait for the flatpak and the window compositor transition to happen. As for the best OBS ready distro I know of, Pop OS has provided the best results since it solves the hassle of installing NVIDIA drivers should you need those and the compositor is pure X11 right now. EDIT: Pop kind of is Ubuntu, so the snaps are lurking there too unfortunately.
@@mathisblair2798 I have not, but things have changed since I posted that comment, now OBS works very well on Debian Sid, so it is a matter of time that it does so on stable too.
QGIS has come a long way since it's beginnings back in the early 00s when ArcGIS reigned supreme. Amazing piece of software and became an industry standard nowadays, also responsible for bringing Python as the default scripting language for geographic data processing to students and professionals worldwide (myself included). Truly a GIS landmark.
MPV is good but no comparison with VLC. For new distros users will think media player missing features instead of getting it's keyboard driven. Both are FOSS so cool.
@@newmilleniumblowjob So fork it. Sh*tting abt it here and there not gonna help. Nothing else matches the functionality of VLC, it's layout seems bit outdated yes. MPV can be a good contender? Yes. In current state? No! Simple.
@@newmilleniumblowjob basically you wanna rage over a software and call it names coz it doesn't looks the way you like. I guess u will rate windows media player over vlc.
I really wish they used QGIS when teaching GIS software in our Geology courses. Not only is it FOSS, but also it has much better compatibility. I was at an internship where I needed two computers because ArcGIS only ran on windows.
Blender and ArcGIS are fantastic. Far better than propriety ones. I even suggested a workflow to use them together instead of some propriety (very expensive) software for visual impact assessment of wind turbines for my master's thesis.
For audio production i reccomend Reaper, you kinda have to pay for it, but it's like winrar, it doesn't force you to pay, it reminds you that evaluation ended.
I played with Obsidian. Largely it's a frontend wrapping a Markdown parser. My struggle was keeping it synced between machines, so ended up writing something (albeit with fewer features) in PHP/JS that replicates the features I want and runs in a browser. (I'm also a fan of the eat-your-own-dogfood philosophy.)
4:21 Seems like Jupyter notebooks are a bit slicker than this. Your input is divided into cells, and the output from each cell appears immediately below that cell, instead of being off to the side like this. Cell output can also have interactive GUI widgets, making them “live”.
Which video editor, backup software, office product, etc? Simple, but not too complex is better for me. Shortcut, Luckybackup, Libre Office. Simple screen recorder, since OBS had to many options for me to select, to use, each time.
finally mpv was just watching your old video and thought vlc? really dude? me as using linux only 6 weeks knowing mpv is better then vlc! great video btw! got virtual box today, tracer and timeshift
You might be surprised. You could do modeling and animation and a lot of the stuff without needing a beast of a computer. The software itself is lightweight.
What's the best alternative to excel ? Sorry I'm new to Linux not aware of applications which will work and which is better As gonna go for antix as have a old laptop I just want to use it for data analysis so SQL and excel (alternative) Would appreciate the help 🙏
Non sono d'accordo per quanto riguarda InkScape e il motivo è il solito: l'interfaccia. Oltre rifarsi a quella di CorelDRAW (fa schifo anche la sua UI) non cerca in alcun modo di rendere la vita semplice ad un neofita o ad un esperto di disegno vettoriale
RStudio isn't that great imo... it's good (and thank god as it's basically the only R ide available), but it's not as fast and customizable as Spyder, the Python ide. I still use R because of the vast stats libraries which are undeniably better than Python, but as a language R is weird.
Freecad the program i would love to love but just hate. it's the least intuitive cad/cam program I ever used, It crashes often both in linux and in windows It needs a open scource competitor that has a kiss philosophy from a end user /noob perspective
I will have to agree with you. It is no way near or comparable to commercial equivalents such as Creo or Solidworks, not so much in terms of features.. but workflow and stability.
Love your show, you do cool stuff. But hey, tell them how to build it for their CPU. You see Linux people that watch you give a shit, so learn customization. Thumbs up for good video work. Thumbs down tell people that they can optimize the program for their computer. Stop treating the Linux community like windoze zombies.
I use my PC primarily for gaming and I've recently completely removed Windows as I was booting into it maybe once in 6 months. Yes, Linux is absolutely viable for gaming
@@SystemShockRacing Well if it works for you it works for you. That's great and all. But there is no denying that Windows has more games and it overall works better. Because games and drivers are primarly coded for Windows. Linux has some native games, there is steam with proton, lutris etc. blah blah blah. Well those are not that optimal are they? And you most likely can never play any games on release day. So unless Linux gets the same attention as Windows from game devs. Windows will be the most optimal for gaming in most cases. And since Microsoft recently bought the game giant Activision Blizzard, games on Linux will most likely be reduced even more. Those games requiring Xbox game pass and what not in the future. And I'm pretty sure Xbox game pass is not available for Linux. That would an obvious guess.
There was an issue with Elden Ring a couple of months back, which caused real performance problems on Windows. But a fix was available on the (Linux-based) Steam Deck, which made it run a lot better there.
Krita should totally be in there
what does that do?
@@Gurj101 it's drawing app, vastly faster and better than photoshop, but it's not very suitable for editing images

I feel a bit weird with Krita and GIMP ngl. Feels like they should be together, like Photoshop, but can't.
Krita was discovered in 2021 video.
Krita - better than Gimp in my view
Kate - good text editor
(Neo)Vim - God's text editor
I don't really draw that much but
I think GIMP is better than Krita in terms of features
I too prefer Krita :-)

obsidian isn't open source. great but not open source. correct me if im wrong
You're completely right, I can't believe I missed this. Will fix thumbnail and all that.
Damn, I was already getting used to it. I guess I'll try Joplin
I don't get how Obsidian gain reputation for being open source. My friend also thought that until I told him it wasn't.
Obsidian is great, but it's not open source (only an extension for it). As far i know open source alternative is Zettlr
Zettlr is good but a but buggy, needs work but only one dev! Anyways it needs more support! Good software
I use Mark Text and I love it
dendron vscode extension is opensource and cool too
I would recommend Logseq! Its a libre text editor inspired by roam, and I would say its like a more atomic version of obsidian. Its very good in my opinion and worth trying out, has a nice and friendly community too just like Obsidian.

That Markdown editor application looks pretty cool! I can't wait to try it!
Switch Obsidian for Logseq for that sweet FOSS
OBS and Blender are the 2 non-development Open-Source apps that are the instructor standards. I with Linux was that.
MPV is good but no comparison with VLC. For new distros users will think media player missing features instead of getting it's keyboard driven. Both are FOSS so cool.

OMG running an ArcGIS enterprise upgrade as I'm watching this video. That's amazing that there is an opensource tool equivalent.

Pleas do MPV tutorial with plugins and Lua scripts.
ssh key is actually supported in EasySSH via the identity file instead of password.

Hey fellow Washingtonian! Subbed
Great list. Obsidian isn't open source but does have a generous and non spammy free option.

Replace Obsidian (not open source) with Krita for this list

Perhaps the title might me "Best Apps For Creative Professionals." Other folks, not so much.
MPV is still good. and the Q whatever for geo location is not really a creative thing so ...
also : goverly and openRGB are gamer centric
Downloaded QGIS to give it a try, as I'd not heard of it before, but it looks interesting. You also reminded me of MPV as well, so ta for that!

Yeah it's a lot like Notion. So overbloated with unnecessary features it's practically unusable.

Julia is my favorite programming language for doing any scientific programming. And for a computer algebra system, I like maxima/wxmaxima.
