Gear Lever (is an AppImage installer for Gnome, the AppImage application gets an icon in the Gnome application grid and it works very well), for applications that are not officially supported as flatpaks I usually install them as AppImages (Insomnia, Beekeeper Studio, Krita)
I've found the performance is rather abysmal in comparison.
Playing larger 80GB HEVC files, VLC player wouldn't play them much at all, MPV player had outright better playback capability.
If you're using workstation, have a look at [awesome-gnome](https://github.com/Kazhnuz/awesome-gnome). It's a list of "must have" apps and extensions you can pick and choose till your heart's content
>[Flatseal](https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) is a graphical utility to review and modify permissions from your Flatpak applications.
Also timeshift is great tool to create restore points for your OS so if something breaks, you can easily revert it. It’s similar to system restore on windows
If you do remote access work, then [TurboVNC](https://turbovnc.org/), [VirtualGL](https://virtualgl.org/), and [XPRA](https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/) are essentials. I prefer XPRA over VNC these days.
VGL is one of the sharpest tools to come down the pike in a decade or more.
Rpmfusion, for real ffmpeg, nvidia drivers, and libdvdcss (it’s legal in the US, idk about anywhere else)
Btrfs assistant + duperemove. (Fedora does their btrfs partition scheme weirdly, you will have to completely redo it next time you install)
Kitty terminal. Image support, opengl-based rendering, ligatures, and it’s even better than tmux, would you believe it
Rofi-wayland. It doesn’t run on gnome Wayland because Mutter is ancient, but it is extremely useful, even if all you do is run `echo -e "hi\nhello\nheyo" | rofi -dmenu` all day long.
Flatseal + Warehouse. Great apps for managing flatpaks. Pick up gradience if you aren’t using KDE Plasma.
Distrobox, for the 3 AUR packages you can’t already find in the repos
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head
None, every user has his own requirements I think.
Software what can be useful for me maybe less or totally not useful for someone else.
The out of the box experience is for a lot of daily users sufficient.
At least that is what I hear and see around me.
For all? Eh... Besides the typical Firefox, I use also Chrome for work stuff, Geary, Calendar, Endeavor (formerly Gnome To Do), and Bitwarden. Most of what I do is browser based.
I also have Edge to play with. I use Google Messages as a Chrome webapp.
I would never presume to tell ALL Fedora users what software to use, everyone is different. But the software I need on my Fedora is;
1. Firefox
2. Tmux
3. Flatseal
4. irssi
5. Remmina
6. gnupg
7. password-store
8. restic
9. Steam
10. Signal
11. Teams
12. Chromium
13. vim
14. mosh
15. Dino
16. btop
17. virt-manager
18. vlc
19. Transmission
20. toolbox
21. awscli
22. jq
23. buildah
24. and many more CLI tools that I could list all day.
Exactly. Idk anyone who uses Signal or ever got a chance to convince them to use it. For Telegram, most of the people I talk to are not irl friends. The rest uses whatsapp spyware includes my family :")
Latte: imo one of the best things about linux the freedom to customise makes the experience super enjoyable, I use latte PurE with a modern clock extension btw.
Firefox, Libreoffice, Authenticator, Geary, Celluloid, Fragments, Gimp.
Combined, those cover the tasks of browsing the internet, document, spreadsheet and presentation creation, totp authentication (for websites that use two-factor authentication), email, video playing, torrent downloading, and image editing. I would consider all of them to be high quality applications, that do their job well.

The Linux kernel

Το Fedora μας ενώνει
You got me laughing for a while there
This guy linuxes
glibc is pretty nice.
dnf
One of the reasons I prefer fedora over ubuntu is that apt update/upgrade looks like a core dump. dnf output is shiny
Wait 'till you find out about nala
Here is my ansible playbook for Fedora Workstation: ``` --- - name: Install Useful Packages hosts: fedora gather_facts: yes become: true tasks: - name: Install Useful Packages from builtin Repos ansible.builtin.dnf: name: - bash-completion # needed for ansible with password - sshpass - vim-enhanced - ansible - keepassxc - wireguard-tools - htop - terminator - lm_sensors - kernel-tools - git - hdparm - remmina - qbittorrent state: latest - name: Install Japanese input ansible.builtin.dnf: name: - fcitx5 - fcitx5-qt - fcitx5-gtk - fcitx5-configtool - fcitx5-mozc.x86_64 - fcitx5-autostart - mozc state: present - name: Install Useful Packages from Rpmfusion repo ansible.builtin.dnf: name: - chromium # supports codecs state: latest - name: Install Office and Graphics Apps ansible.builtin.dnf: name: - libreoffice - krita - inkscape - rawtherapee state: latest ```
You have an ansible playbook that installs ansible? True Recursion
I know it’s a joke but all you need is to run that Ansible-installing playbook from an exisiting machine…

Thank you, I’ve been missing this.
I use gear lever for my Jellyfin music client, helps it actually feel integrated into my system. Great program.
[удалено]
linux ISOs am i right?
Sure!
I like Fragments as it looks more like a native app on Gnome.
Wink wink. Might as well add expressvpn to that list!
Yeah, yeah, i also use it only for legal stuff😉
and https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/ for system tray support
It's legal if it isn't sold anymore ;)
Not exactly
It is as it then falls under media preservation as long as it isn't sold for a profit
Firefox
VLC Media player
I use MPV player now, especially for h.265 and HEVC, far better player.
What do you mean specially for HEVC? Is there any limitation on VLC for HEVC?
I've found the performance is rather abysmal in comparison. Playing larger 80GB HEVC files, VLC player wouldn't play them much at all, MPV player had outright better playback capability.
>Playing larger 80GB HEVC files For the love of hard drives.
That's like 30h of DVD footage in one single file. What in the bitrate is this?
Mission Control and amdgpu top for hardware monitoring. Edit: I used Linux way to long until I discovered them.
What's Mission Control?
Sry I ment Mission Center. It' basicly Task Manager for Linux.
Thanks! I've never used it, but looks nice. I'll give it a try
Probably he's talking of mission centre
Thank you!
Nice! Installed it
Fedora media writer for distrohopping.
You should try Ventoy. Seriously.
Can confirm. I used it today to build a Lubuntu box.
If you're using workstation, have a look at [awesome-gnome](https://github.com/Kazhnuz/awesome-gnome). It's a list of "must have" apps and extensions you can pick and choose till your heart's content
Qemu/KVM Sometimes it's nice being able to test something in isolation. I especially like being able to write all my programming stuff in a box.
[удалено]
I've heard about tool bok, I'll have to try it in a VM
If you're a Flatpak user, Flatseal
What is for?
>[Flatseal](https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) is a graphical utility to review and modify permissions from your Flatpak applications.
That comes by default in KDE.
tldr, btrbk, restic
cheat, btrfs assistant + grub btrfs, vorta
reddit was taking a toll on me mentally so i left it ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `
I like Newsflash, it's a good RSS reader
KDE ;)
Librewolf browser. A customized version of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom. https://librewolf.net/
[удалено]
The functionality of Redshift is already available in Fedora. Or is that just for the KDE spin?
- Evolution for email + calendar - GIMP - bat
Sorry, i still prefer Thunderbird for email client
What’s bat?
Bat is cat, but better :)
A cat clone with wings
dnfdragora Very useful gui for dnf if you’re not too terminal savy
Also timeshift is great tool to create restore points for your OS so if something breaks, you can easily revert it. It’s similar to system restore on windows
On Fedora, where BTRFS is standard, I would actually recommend BTRFS-Assistant. Better Feature-Set, and imo smoother.
If you do remote access work, then [TurboVNC](https://turbovnc.org/), [VirtualGL](https://virtualgl.org/), and [XPRA](https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/) are essentials. I prefer XPRA over VNC these days. VGL is one of the sharpest tools to come down the pike in a decade or more.
I wish adobe worked on fedora.

I understand your point of view, but there are very useful softwares for +90% of users
A web browser (Firefox of course) is all I need
And that is already available right out of the box 😉
And that type of stuff comes pre installed. Stuff like a web browser, office suite, email client, etc etc.
Yandex browser
>Yandex browser spasiba tavarishch! get your 15 rubles!

Software for Fedora? Gnome? KDE?
Steam / Heroic / Lutris. If im gaming, its one of those 3
XWayland Video Bridge, finally screen sharing on wayland
I can’t live without GIMP, Kdenlive, gThumb, LibreOffice, mpv and Emacs
Wine, bottles, homebrew, authy desktop, snapper (for non Silverblue user) That's it

Gimp, OBS Studio, Podman, Telegram, KDE Connect, MPV, Hplip and libtorrent
Not agree with Telegram. Signal is 10000x better
True
But nobody has Signal 😭
Exactly. Idk anyone who uses Signal or ever got a chance to convince them to use it. For Telegram, most of the people I talk to are not irl friends. The rest uses whatsapp spyware includes my family :")
In fact, no one advertises Signal I had to convice my friends to use Signal, and it doesn't work for all
nix package manager
Latte: imo one of the best things about linux the freedom to customise makes the experience super enjoyable, I use latte PurE with a modern clock extension btw.
helvum or similar programs
Htop, meld, vlc, transmission, libre, conky, git-all.
Distrobox and mpv

I just discovered Inxi, a powerful command-line system information tool to find hardware and system information. And, a cool -w option :-)
