All That Software On My PC. What Do I Actually Use?

One of the most common questions I get on a recurring basis is "What software do you really use?" Because I demonstrate so many programs on video, so many window managers, so many web browsers, so many terminal emulators...what programs do I actually use?

[@humanbeing_]

Peter Jansen The file managers I use the most (GUI-wise) are Caja & Dolphin, and there are specific reasons based on my Workflow & preferences. Mainly having an editable path, the way they connect to Network places (my FreeNAS servers, other network machines), and then the biggest reason: The right-click options for moving & copying files. I'm CONSTANTLY moving files & directories around to different locations, internal drives, FreeNAS, and so on. e.g. right-click, move-to, select location/folder. With Dolphin I love the options that are present directly within the options themselves AND/or via the full file browser window. However pcmanfm & vifm are on my list of options that I plan on looking into & testing to see if they work well for my use-case. Nautilus is okay, but when I was running Ubuntu based Distro's I would always install caja right away. Just my $0.02 😬

XFE, the X File Explorer, is a perfectly capable GUI file manager, and I think that it has even fewer dependencies and is even more lightweight than PCManFM. It is easy to install, configure, and theme in any GNU/Linux distribution and probably in any BSD. I do not know for sure why it is never mentioned in this sort of thing, but I suspect that has something to do with the fact that XFE is a standalone project rather than affiliated with any DE or WM. For any minimalist who needs a GUI file manager, I recommend taking a look at it. At any rate, it is nice to have some options; PCManFM, of course, is also great.

I probably did watch your channel at the beginning, but never stuck around as I was only looking at Linux half seriously as I had no prior experience with it and and saw no need to switch for a good while as most things still worked and windows served my purposes just fine. Linux was simply an odd curiosity to me, whereas now I see it as more of a necessity. From jumping in the deep end a few months ago and playing around with it casually on dual boot/other physical machines for about a year or two, the level of freedom and vast amount of software just a few keystrokes away is amazing to put it simply. The only thing that annoys me really is system drivers, where certain software/games will randomly hang/misbehave at times without any obvious reason whereas they would perform perfectly otherwise. Once Linux performs with the same level of "just works" that windows offers and the streamlined UI of MacOS I really don't see a reason to use either of them.

Hey Distrohuggers, and Distrolovers, I guess you all heard there is a beta version in the wild of Fedora 33. Well I am here to tell you about Fedora 34, ( presently known as, "Rawhide" ) Fedora quietly works on Rawhide and it is my opinion they discourage users from trying it. Maybe that is an understatement. But there is often an unofficial iso to install, ( at your own risk, of course ). Today's Rawhide update was special. For one, the package manager is finally the stable version 4.16.0. I know you are saying whoopedie-doo. But one of my biggest gripes with rpm distros, is they could not all get on board with the direction of the package manager and used different versions, and now finally there is a stable 4.16 version. But you will likely have to be in Rawhide to get that. I doubt OpenMandriva, ROSA, Mageia, OpenSUSE have 4.16 yet, but let me know if I am wrong. Sometimes Rawhide does fall behind the other's developmental branch ( Cauldron, Cooker, etc ? ) on some specific item. In addition to that are the regular biweekly or weekly or bi-monthly type updates to packages. The kernel is the very latest you can get your hands on, unless you are on Torvald's kernel team. The lovely systemd is now the beloved 246.6-3. Qt is 5.15.1-5. hplip is 3.20.9-1. And some tweaks were done to Gnome-bluetooth. While I would not recommend you live in Rawhide, I live in it, and so I can vouch that it is feasible. But I do recommend people install it on metal just to see what it is and how it differs. In its present form, it only has a few packages different from the latest nightly iso of Fedora 33. And while I have your attention, a Ryzen 3 and 16 GB of RAM are fully capable of running Rawhide ( Gnome Workstation ). I got mine through www.aaawave.com My personal opinion about why Fedora is not more popular, is that they are short-handed on developers that really know how to fix bugs. For example, Fedora 33 is not out yet, due to several alleged blockers. Those alleged blockers would likely be fixed quicker if other developers in the Linux community had the spare time to help Fedora. But those people have their own priorities or not interested in rpm-based distros.
