KDE Connect is very convenient, I have it running under Linux Mint 19.3 and some of the features don't work such as SMS Replying and the indicator keeps on dis/reappearing - I can remotely Control my Linux PC from anywhere in the house.
Bitwarden I have been using for a while and it’s great! I got because it was open source and how you can self host so if the company decided to go a bad direction like last pass , I don’t need to scramble for an alternative
I made the switch a few days ago. If you're all about productivity, minimalism and not being nagged constantly about updates or being forced to update, you'll love Linux.
I use some of these. Krita is definitely a must have for the artistically inclined. It works well with Wacom devices and I've used it to make telegram stickers. Bitwarden is great, but make sure you have your backup password saved somewhere safe. My phone bricked and I had to reset my account.
I have been using Linux distros for over 10 years. I will say that they have come a long way. They look great, install software well etc. However, since the beginning there is a major weakness - Printers. It has gotten better but still not great. I have recently tried Linux Mint 20.1 and Manjaro 21.04. After installation both see the printer (HP CP1025nw) and have set it up with IPP protocol. Seemed good until I tried to print on a legal size 14" paper. Both would print only as far down the page that a letter size page would be. The rest was blank. I tried every setting available to no avail. The Print preview was fine. Today I tried Fedora 34 and it too set up the printer but nothing would print at all! Not even the test page. in fact the settings module crashed 4 times so clearly this version of Fedora is not ready for prime time. Printing reliably is basic stuff for an O/S. If it can't do that, it's of no use (to me) as I do coding now and then and often need printouts for debugging etc. So long as these kinds of issues are not corrected all the Linux distros are not going very far. I would rather use Linux instead of Windows but Windows has no problems with any printer I have ever had. Lets get this fixed! That's my 2 cents worth.
Signal. While it's primarily a secure message application for phones once you have that setup you can link it to computers as well. Only drawback is that you can only send/receive to other signal users in the desktop application.
+100 for Joplin. I recently started using it, I don't think I'll be moving away anytime soon. But it does have some glitches/bugs (mostly due to Electron).
Thanks for the video I have a question about using portable browsers like portable firefox or chrome , is it safe enough to use it on other computers like at job and so on?
Hummm noise! I assume that your microphone was sitting on top of your tower or sharing a desk with your tower because it was picking up a low-mid range humm. Great content, though. I am, once again, moving back to Linux from a Win7 machine. I like KDE Plasma, Neon distro... or maybe Dr46gon distro. Thanks for the links, too. Add one more sub.

Hey man, great video! Thanks for sharing. Let me ask you: What is that distro you're using on the video? Or maybe what are you using to customize it like that? Looks pretty good
yeah, really important. it currently is the missing category on Linux. Cinelerra or KDEnlive are just jokes. I use VSDC on Windows, never found anything convenient instead.
Do you have a video that talks about setting up a list of programs that auto installs to a new linux install? I see all these great programs and need to find a way to install them after each install without remembering all their names. Thanks! Great video!
bpytop, having been written in Python, is not super quick or resource-light. It might not matter to most but on my 11 year old netbook where even htop takes 5% CPU this is crucial. The same author has now released btop written in C++ and it's blazing fast and resource-light. More so than even htop, funnily enough! Update: OK, there already was a video about it on the channel, LOL.
6:20 I’d actually recommend using Btop instead of Bpytop. It’s the exact same interface with the exact same functionality, except it’s written in C++ instead of Python. It runs MUCH faster & smoother than Bpytop or Bashtop, and it’s basically the exact same application.
There's an extension I like called "New Tab Tools" but it's invasive. Is there a better alternative that doesn't poke its nose into all my browsing habits?
WARNING: Joplin's support for Nextcloud seems confusing. So if you use hosted Nextcloud I would keep an eye on it. In one area they say the API is depreciated for their own Joplin-Server but when connecting to my Nextcloud instance it errored out but did sync everything. Very confusing.
Unrelated but can you do a video on Manjaro dual boot install with systemd-boot? My hp laptop has issues with showing grub in bios boot menu but a systemd-boot like Pop OS worked. I want to use manjaro but I don't want to have to deal with grub and windows
I'm using KDE connect daily and it's awesome but I wish If there is an option to disable or pause showing notifications "I mean only KDE connect notifications not all system notifications" instead of unpair the phone
I would say qemu with kvm is better than virtualbox, because of kvm speeding it up to nearnative performance and responsebility ,and being able to emulate arm devices. I would say virtmanager is only slightly harder to use. For windows users i think virtualbox is good if you want to virutalise linux x86 distros as a beginner.

Thanks dude! I just took the plunge and replaced Windows 10 with PopOS. I'm lovin it so far and videos like this are a welcome sight for me.

Arandr (GUI for Randr - monitor manager)
Pcmanfm (file manager - generally what I use on every distro)
Kitty (gpu rendered terminal)
Kdenlive (video editor)
Mpv (probably the best video player)
Nitrogen (background manager)
Picom (composition, allows blurred windows and such)
Pavucontrol (pulseaudio manager)
Redshift (night-time mode software)
Streamlink Twitch GUI (self explanitory - can use Mpv and it gets around the ads)
Syncthing (file/folder sync software to other devices)
Themix/oomox (theme designer/automation using the background colours)
Pywal (needed for above software but this is what generates the terminal colours from the background image)
Yaourt-gui (if you don't like using yaourt via terminal)
Tmux (terminal multiplexer, can have sessions, split windows, tabs, etc)
Can't really think of more off the top of my head but I'm sure there's a few I've missed.
Hope it helps some of you to find new software you didn't know existed.
