10 Essential Linux Desktop Productivity Tools You Need to Try Right Now

[@JoachimBTube]

Jay, I do agree with you on the smart phone notification annoyance. And apart from that, thank you for all your great content!

[@Marcelo-rj3ll]

Sincerely, your channel is the best of all about Linux. Congratulations and keep up the excellent work.

[@704Productions]

Thanks Jay! You sir have a gift for teaching! It would be nice if you kept this list updated throughout the year, I’d definitely watch!

[@fatihonal6273]

Jay, you forgot Rhythmbox right behind you :D

[@kenshum9949]

Thank you. This is very useful to me and probably new Linux users, who doesn't know what applications are safe to install.

[@LearnLinuxTV]

Glad it's helpful for you!

[@0xac829]

Has Jay done a video on a full open source enterprise stack? Including security and application deployment.

[@nothing-personal-tbh]

Wow! Great content! We definitely need more courses for stuff you use yourself!

[@Chris.Wiley.]

It's too bad that all of the Standard Notes features beyond plain text are locked behind an annual paid upgrade. $90 or $120/yr is pretty steep for the functionality it provides.

[@LearnLinuxTV]

In my opinion, with how great that app is, it's more than worth it for me.

[@jchoneandonly]

Fair warning for kde connect, the gnome version can make your phone do some weird glitchy crap, turn off plugins until it behaves. I'm able to use it for texting and website sharing which is exactly everything I need

[@StarrockeR_]

Use scrcpy... its really good.

[@mchenrynick]

Timeshift is on Linux Mint out-of-the-box. In fact, if you go through the items on the initial setup dialog box the first time Linux Mint boots, Timeshift will be in there =)

[@richardmonroe4208]

My favorites: KdeConnect and Bitwarden.

[@holyhelga]

I use keepass xc a while still you need to make sure you don’t loose the database file

[@tomschulte3237]

a fat 👍Thumb Up👍! as usual ...and some use-cases for tmux. When you are going by train in Germany and doing some work, chances are, that you'll lose connection for various reason. Or you do some work in a cafe or customer site and had to head off but some jobs are delayed and still running. But with tmux no problem. Wait until the new connect or goto the next site and there you are!

[@inithinx]

The beard looks good on you!

[@LearnLinuxTV]

Thank you!

[@davidbarr832]

I really like standard notes been using for everything.

[@mchenrynick]

Linux Mint uses Nano as the default Terminal text editor. Don't know why Vim got "pushed" aside. Vim can still be installed from the software center however.

[@mikecondo]

Tmux is definitely one of those things that once you start using it, youll never go back!

[@jonl316]

Great Video, thanks

[@BapsyGames]

Sounds to me like you've got a Cold, Jay... If I'm right... Get well soon 🙂

[@LearnLinuxTV]

No, I didn't. It was a different studio but thanks regardless :)

[@BRBTechTalk]

10:40 I am pretty sure I could write a script that does the same thing with Grsync.

[@vadymmudryi7978]

KeepassXC ❤

[@luciusrex]

Hey I thought you were on holidays in Chicago!? Lol thanks for this!

[@LearnLinuxTV]

I was! The filming for that video wrapped about 3 weeks ago. It took a while to get the edit done. Typically people see my videos 3-4 weeks after filming wraps.

[@melonhead122908]

vim is an essential punishment.........errrrrrrrrr I mean productivity tool :) :)

[@samuelitooooo]

I love Bitwarden and Syncthing. I'm worried that the Android version of the latter is no longer maintained though. I'm using an old phone as a sort of wireless external hard drive to back all my documents n' stuff up, but still sync some things (e.g. PDFs, not GIMP files lol) to my new phone.

[@EkShunya]

tailscale video please :)

[@lyndonkessler4766]

Smart Phones made me Stupid. I only use the phone to get into my apartment. I'm almost 80 years old - I can't afford to shed brain capacity.

[@321qazwsxedc123]

Thanks for the awesome video. I like tools like Bitwarden (especially for passkeys) and VIM

[@motoryzen]

11:39 I've never been able to get gnome boxes working in Linux Mint, but then again..maybe ..it's not meant to work in Mint? (shrugs). I"m not a VM expert ftr.

[@tridens6708]

Bit warden keepassxc😊

[@dorukozerr]

I own and use macbook air but I really miss the linux experience. If I had spare money I would buy a ThinkPad or something lol.

[@LearnLinuxTV]

Buy a used one on ebay!

[@lukastram4990]

Tailscale Vid yes

[@anasouardini]

I find `scrcpy` to be more helpful than kdeconnect.

[@LilaHikes]

Anything requiring a subscription is a hard no. Especially all these note taking apps that keep nearly all their features locked behind a paywall. It's ridiculous. A spiral notebook and pen is more cost effective and your data isn't held hostage when a company decides to change a policy.... Evernote, I'm looking at you. Exceptions to a monthly recurring bill is if if I'm renting a service. Place to store offsite backups, etc.

[@_ata_3]

Why suggest web apps and pass them as "Linux Desktop Tools"?

[@LearnLinuxTV]

Because none of them are web apps?

[@_ata_3]

@@LearnLinuxTV Todoist and Standard Notes are web apps.

[@Dinuga2010]

Am I the first :)

[@e1woqf]

That's nothing special. But to be the 257th...😉

[@jamestakac8951]

dang it. wanted to be liker # 666. Only 665 LOL

[@RanCham727]

Id buy a sudo pacman -S coffee shirt because I use arch btw

[@stasyssk]

Obsidian slaughters any note taking app. I am surprised it was not mentioned.

[@ndeta]

Second 🙂
