Audacity didn't work for me bro

1. Microsoft Edge (Don't use) 2. Google Chrome, Firefox -> Whatever, just a browser. They run on everything that has a processor and ram. 3. LibreOffice -> Unintuitive, clunky and has the worst interface of any office software i've ever seen 4. Audacity -> Actually good 5. VLC Player ->better than paid alternatives 6. OBS Studio -> gold standard 7. Gimp, Photopea -> both are photoshop from wish. One of them is just a website. 8. Inkscape. -> Same problem as libreoffice with the added bonus of using the CAIRO graphics. 9. DiVinci Resolve, Kdenlive, Shotcut -> Resolve is the industry standard. The rest are just a glorified version of windows movie maker 10. Blender - > Have you EVER seen something good that came out of blender? Everything feels cheap. --- My Suggestions [...] 13. Figma -> Unnoficial random github app 14. Thunderbird ->got really better 15. Discord, Zoom -> ok if you have to use it 16. Lutris, Steam -> ANALOGY: You swap your bmw ECU with your neighbour's fiat ECU and drives at 20mph max speed while consuming double the gas just because it was free. Linux is free only if you don't value your time.

Thank you for sharing your suggestion about the apps.

​@@vigneshkarthi3321 provide more information.

@@bhargavjitbhuyan9394 I can't record song while playing throw wynk music from chrome

Resolve can be installed in all the popular distros. Kdenlive is an open source free app, temper your expectations. Gimp can do everything you, need, looks like crap is useless argument. Professionals are already on linux, just not the ones you are talking about!

​@@noxiousophidian9634gimp is shit lmfao

@@noxiousophidian9634 thanks for proving my point. Resolve has to be hacked and tricked into being install on most distros. You cannot simply download the app and install it. Gimp is NOT a photoshop replacement. and it looks like shit for no reason. No, most professional do not use Linux. Thats not even debatable.

use photopea instead of gimp or photoshop💪

Thing is one I understand why certain kinds of Proffessionals need Photoshop, its usually because you're Employer forces you to use Industry Standards because Companies hate to Relearn how to do things, for very Legitimate Reasons.(if you look up the Statistics, which we have thanks to Windows Telemetry. Less than one 1.6% of Windows users use Photoshop and even less make full use of the Adobe Suite. That less than the 4.66% of Total Linux Users, there is also way more Creatives than just 1.6% of Windows Adobe Suite users actually most 2D Art and Musical Creatives usually Buy Macs or Ipads, or High End Samsung Galaxy Tablets that can actually Run Krita for Drawing, Windows was never for us Artistic Types, it was Designed for the Office, Apple went on to Target Creatives because Microsoft was not at the Time.) Gimp is not a Drop in Replacement for Photoshop yes and the Linux Comunity needs to stop Recommending. Especially when there is a better "Alternative" I say in Air Qoutes because its not one Program. You have to go from using Photoshop to atleast 3 different Applications. Krita, Inkscape and Photopea. Gimp is only Meant for Photomanipulation. Photoshop covers Photomanipulation, Drawing and Video Editing, etc... things that when you go outside Photoshop other Programs only pick one of. When it comes to 3D Artist well the Only Time you're not using Blender is if you are Working for a Corporation that prefers to Pay money for theor Software or in House 3D modeling Suite or are going to college to get hired for one of these Companies. Blender Spoils its Users and is fully Functional on Linux. With Blender you don't even need Photoshop to make Textures. You can Literally just Paint the Models inside Blender itself. Linux is currently Lacking the right Areas for Musical Artists and my Fellow 2D Artists, but the Thing about Linux. Is that its constantly Changing and if you want to see Linux Change in a way that is friendly to us Creative Types you have to become part of the Linux Community and start pushing for what you want. Microsoft and Apple have both Chosen to keep their OSes as is and seemed to have confused Trend Chasing for Growth and have Prioritized it over Comfortable User Experience. If you Want Linux to become User Friendly then you're going to have to Daily Drive it and be Part of the People that Subment Bug Reports and QOL requests to the Devs.

Thank you!

Good to know. Thank you so much.

😄👍

Thank you so much for sharing your valuable experience! And for myth-busting, of course.

Which software do you use for video and audio editing?

@@VirendraBG Kdenlive for video, and Audacity for audio editing.

@@VirendraBG Currently Ardour, Audacity, MuseScore for audio, and Kdenlive and Davinci Resolve for video.

@@bostechmo Thanks for stopping by. 👍🏻

Thanks to you! Both for your nice words and for sharing our video!

@@bostechmo You deserve the compliments and having this video shared... and the sub to your channel that you got from me due to this video 😉

​@@bostechmomay I suggest that in future, you add chapters and/or some brief summary points for the video content?

Another idea that you could consider is creating a series of relatively short and easy to follow videi with common Linux problems and their most effective and simple solutions... I think there is a definite need for something like that... so people do not need to spend many hours searching for solutions online / in forums... these solutions should be usable on many different Linux systems (distros) and/or show general "Linux ways" that will work universally, regardless of which distro someone is using. Also maybe some videos to warn / demonstrate common mistakes that could have serious consequences and how to prevent those...?

@@neelsb7889 All your ideas are good and have already been noted. Thanks!

Ever since late-2021 (not counting preview builds).

Looks like a good idea for a video! 🙂 Like, all the apps one can install on Linux! 😉 Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for your comment!

Very true!

Fair enough. Thank you so much for your comment.

Hvala!!! 🙂

this is cinnamon version, there are MATE and XFCE version too

Thank you!

Of course we don't mind! It would be our pleasure! Our contribution to the community. Thank you so much!

Exactly. Peppermint has always seemed to be a good option. Now we believe it's back for novice users. Thank you so much!

No need for shouts! ;-)

Thank you so much for your nice words! XFCE is really great, a simple and lightweight DE.

Thanks for sharing your experience with LM 22.

It's still not default in Linux Mint. Our understanding was that the Linux Mint Team was still working on it to make it work properly on Linux Mint. Thanks for your comment!

@@bostechmo waiting for it, I think the more mainstream Wayland gets, the better software support and bug fixing will come for it 😊

The Linux Mint Team is expected to release the official upgrade path from 21.3 to 22. Thanks for your comment.

@@bostechmo forgive me I'm very new to Linux. How does the upgrade path work and what is it?

@@K-xk8od An Upgrade Path is a method to upgrade your Linux Mint Version. How it works? Here is the answer: blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4732

Thank you so much! When it comes to Wayland, we believe the Linux Mint Team wants to make it work properly, and they probably do not want to lean on it before it works as it should. Thank you so much for your comment!

@@bostechmo I agree. Cheers!

@@jonspoonamore3721 Cheers!

Agreed. Thanks for your comment.

​@@bostechmoWelcome!! Also great video btw straight to the point and no useless talking keep it up!

@@nnshshwh3966 Oh, thank you so much for your nice words. It means a lot to us!

Many people seem to have issues with updates (on certain proprietary operating systems), so they might like the state of affairs in Zorin. 😉 Thank you for your comment. Anyway, Zorin receives regular security updates and patches.

Thank you!

👍

@@bm1066 more so than Zorin OS?

@@K-xk8od That's a good question. Linux Mint follows the Ubuntu's LTS (Long Term Support) cadence regularly, while Zorin doesn't. For instance, the new Linux Mint 22 is based on Ubuntu's 24.04 LTS, while Zorin OS 17.1 is based on an older Ubuntu's LTS release 22.04 (from 2022 that is).

Noted. Thanks.

The Linux Mint Team have listened to their users, apparently! 😉 Thanks for your comment!

Expected. It's Linux Mint! 😉 Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for your comment. Exactly, the command line could scare beginners. However, it's not a good idea to hide it, and it's not fair not to say to people that issues may arise.

Oh, thanks for reminding us. We used it years ago. Good idea is to install Catfish?

@@bostechmo catfish works too, just takes longer to find stuff.

Hi! Thanks for your comment. We're using Orchis theme and Qogir icons.

That has been debatable for some time now. Drivers have been incorporated into the Linux kernel. It's mostly the question if the drivers publishers want them included or not.

Thank you so very much!
