Very nice. I've always felt like the linux desktop was in dire need of quality native apps and such showcases like this one to make people aware of them.
Suggestion for next video: undervolting on Linux. Laptop bios-es are often really locked down, so the only option is to do it in software. Windows has many good options but they are not available on Linux. Undervolting can really increase performance of your machine
you could check if your machine is compatible with coreboot, most linux ready laptops have it by default or as an option starlabs made a configurator for all coreboot machines, which lets you change the wattage to be used
Careful with METADATA Cleaner. It will overwrite your original and not make a copy. So if you want to keep the metadata but want to erase it for sharing/Internet make a copy first
Hey, Nick you don't need Gnome-Task because you have moules and huîtres at your door steps. Just go out and pick them. Il faut cueillir les huîtres et les moules! Et les préparer avec du vin blanc et de la crème fraîche. Mais oui!
Most of these apps work great on none-gnome desktop, but of course look a bit out of place on QT/KDE Plasma-based desktops I use some gnome apps on my minimal installation with a standalone window manager, I would like to use some KDE Plasma apps but the problem with them are the tons of dependencies and also some of them have very buggy theming compared to normal QT apps, like Dolphin for example, which is a shame From this video, I use : - Deja Dup - Boxes (sometimes instead of virt-manager) - Pitivi (mostly for testing) - Blanket
The main way to fix them looking out of place, on plasma at least, is to change the GTK theme as well as the QT theme. In the KDE system settings to go appearance, application style, and in the bottom right you have a button to change the gnome/gtk theme, for those who didn't know
@@atemoc Yea, I know. That is the shame. Still better than it not being there, but this is the issue with crossing over themes and such. QT apps work with QT, and GTK works with GTK. And you can't really make them one without annoying someone. Gnome apps are designed in one way following their language, using GTK. KDE apps are designed their own way using QT. Other apps are designed their own way using wither GTK or QT, or neither. There is no real solution past what plasma has done imo.
@@TazerXI Well, QT and GTK themes can be made to look the same, and on my system they both look identical, only KDE apps look weird, because of the way they implemented it
love this video! i'm in the process of switching over from windows now and getting overwhelmed by choice on discover, so seeing reviews of good apps is super helpful!
Text Pieces, Font Downloader and Metadata remover seem pretty useful. GNOME Boxes is also nice, but doesn't let you change the virtual disk being used, so a little annoying.

I have been watching meany of your videos. Sent's I have made the big jump to Linux. I am love it. By the way. Still need to use windows for work. As I am a video editor and use programs that ether don't work on Linux or are just to much of a headache for a professional setting you I chose Ubuntu because of it's look's and because it seemed good for beginners. Little over a weak in and I love it and I get sad when I haft to use widows. Your videos have helped point me to things I am looking for and are fun to watch. Love it
Good video. I used to install Cronopete for backup and virtualbox for virtualization most of time but next time I'll be trying the ones from the video I guess.
Great, thank you for sharing. Thanks to you now I am aware of a few utilities that I will surely use (Shortwave, Blanket, Text Pieces, Font Downloader, Identity)
Not sure if something like that is really on the list, but a tool to create a bootable USB would be good. On Windows I used Rufus and it worked like a charm. On Linux I don't even know if there is a good solution like that.
Blanket an app that makes background noises as i want is really cool, but would be even cooler if it had the opposite option too, that is getting rid of unwanted background noises.
Would love a full review of pitivi! Mine always lags and has a lot bugs but I'm not sure if it's just because I'm not on GNOME or because my toaster can't handle it. I'm currently just using blender for video editing xp
These apps are amazing, I've already switched my personnal pc to fedora 35 and I'm inching more more to switching to it on my work computer. If only I did not need the Adobe suite to work with workmates.....
I'm using Joplin to replace OneNote and it work's really well. I just use OneDrive to sync it but if Dropbox wasn't broken on Ubuntu I would have chosen that instead.
hey, please don't mind... can i know which screen recording do you use to record your screen,.. ( please mention the one you use when you create YT videos )
Informative video, you are a Linux Rock Star brother! However, I'm still wondering what I'm missing in Fedora that makes it so special for everyone else like yourself? I started running Fedora 35 with Gnome 41 after the holiday season and after about 2 months went back to Manjaro running KDE Plasma. I think I'm just a sucker for Plasma customizations, though I do occasionally miss the simplicity of Gnome. Thanks for the tips.
I guess Gnome isn't bad. I am using some Gnome applications on Debian/Xfce like Numix (with the fancy reversal-blue icons that are not Gnome, xfce-lookdotorg is your friend), Todo, Calendar and online accounts. However the Gnome-Desktop is the opposite of light weight. Xfce uses about 500MB and Gnome I assume 1GB.
Fragments isn't a torrent client, it's a joke. It even doesn't have selective downloads, although the feature request is already 4 years old. The funny thing is that Fragments is essentially the skin of the Transmission, which can do it.
Great video I'm still looking for the perfect Calendar app for Linux one that has a year view and is usable without a account or sync to use just like a reminder. Gnome calendar is closest to that, but can't be used without account sadly.
Not found in the Fedora 36 Gnome (and RPM Fusion) repos: OnlyOffice, GTG, shortwave, Cozy, mousai, text pieces, font downloader, curtail, identity, blanket, metadata cleaner. Found in the repos: Fragments, Deja Dup, Drawing, Pitivi were found. Already installed with Fedora 36: Boxes
Okular equivalent in gnome? My work is really about reading PDFs. Can't find anything better than okular which doesn't look good in gnome. Any alternative which I don't know of would be great.

Thanks for watching!
Same here. Amazed how many I had not heard about and now I realize I need almost all of them.

I liked how you indirectly called KDE as obscure

I have an idea for a video, how about reviewing Pitivi? Like you'll make a video making a video on it. What are the drawbacks and positives etc..
I'd love to see this. I've been using Pitvi to make quick videos and then using Filmora in wine to add titles and effects
The Gnome app ecosystem is part of the reason I stay with Gnome and GTK.
Touche is also a great app, the trackpad gesture expansion it gives is amazing
@agapp11able it should work on any x11 de.
