At first I was like "oh hear we go again. Another list of must have", but I'm taken back. You're choices are pretty decent. Great Job! You just earned a subscribe in my book. Keep up the good work! :-)

Thank you for curating this list. I've been using Linux for years, and I still didn't know about some of these apps!

Great video and informative as heck for someone like myself getting ready to "dump" windows 10! Keep up the good work!

The first time I watched this video was when I was entering the Linux world, it was about a year ago. It is awesome to see how good this tips can help to improve the daily workflow. Thanks a lot for this! It is one of the best videos I ever watched, recommended it for a thousand people already. Cheers from Brazil!

Great video, it's hard to believe you're talking about Linux but at the same time is refreshing to found how easy to use is this great OS these days. Thanks a lot for your work.

Taking Rambox, Timeshift and Nitroshare =) Thank you, very useful programs.

Thank you, these all seem like gems and I look forward to trying them. As for the fear of testing apps and the possibility of wanting to roll back, I’ve been using a Ununtu VM running on VirtualBox on a Ubuntu host. Super easy to take snapshots and revert :-) Thanks!

Nicely done and good reviews. I have finished building a new computer and have decided to install Linux Mint 19. After being a strong Windows user, version 10 has just sent me over the edge. I used Ubuntu and Mint about 7 or so years ago. Just wasn't there yet. After looking to change the OS, I was very impressed by the current development. I will have this puppy up and running over this weekend with no looking back. Kudos Linux.

I really like your quick to the point information---- great job

You cannot beat the choices these days with Linux distro's. If one doesn't fit you, you still have other great applications to choose from. Subbed. :)

It's been quite some time since this video has been uploaded, so it would be nice to know your preferences about the following: 1. Preferred Linux version. 2. Minimum hardware requirements and laptop brands which could make it problematic with installation, specially with graphics requirements. 3. Preferred internet service provider or measures to be taken to bypass any likely snags on this account. Last but not the least the likes your video are what many have been thirsting for, just the facts and no hype. Thanks again!

Good recommendations, thank you! I'll have to check a couple of those out, especially Mega.

never heard of simplenote, but definitely gonna consider using it. Much appreciate the video, I do use a lot of these programs, though which is good to know I kind of been using Linux better than before. I used to get sooo lost in the different names of the softwares that were like the same, just a different name with a few different features or different look. I have been using linux for about 3 years now daily and still continue to learn more and more stuff I had not known. As I have been using windows a bit more lately for work, I have been trying my darndest to give it a linux feel to it over the MIcroCrap they put on there.

Great recomendation, thanks for the sharing, many software i didnt know and now i'm used it :)

Timeshift is a great recommendation. As new to Linux, is has been a lifesaver.

This IS a very usefull and precious video for smart computer users !

I found this video informative. I have been using Linux for my servers since the 1990s but only in the last year have I been using it as a desktop. While I only have interest in about 5 of these applications, I needed someone to filter down my choices on those. I like wires, they are secure and don't go down.

Good video. Many of the shown apps look very promising and most likekly will be included in my Linux distro when I make the move from Windows to Linux in the near future.

@Modest Zlatolobov its as stable as VLC , it can occasionally crash if the video file is corrupt . But not like the way it used to when its looking for some fonts and stuff before playing a video. Give it a try , even the portable version works well.

Well VLC is good but mpv is more superior to it. In VLC sometimes flicker/gray screen occur when playing videos but never experinced such a thing in mpv. But since mpv isn't really for everyone since you need to customize it using config file, SMPlayer could be a great alternative. Been trying VLC for like forever but dunno why i can never like it, even on Windows I prefer MPC or PotPlayer, VLC is just not that great.

@luigimaster111

Vlc defaults to an OpenGL renderer which seems to be rather flickery on some distributions. You can change the video output method under VLCs Preferences. It'll depend on your setup, but on popular distros changing the output from Automatic to "X11 video output (XCB)" should fix any flickering issue.

I like NEMO file manager, gparted, gkrellm, clipit, qbittorrent, simple screen recorder, WINE, ... Android & Windows operating systems also have unique programs that are not yet available on Linux. The best option might be to use the later 2019 Chrome Books, that are designed to run Linux, Android & Chrome OS, from the beginning, without trouble.

12:06 Mega can also be used for chat and video calls. Your keys are the encryption keys so the privacy is heightened. Also there's file versioning and secure communications
