Just wanted to say that these kinds of videos are SO helpful to me. I don't always have the time to go hunting for what's out there regarding applications so I really appreciate it when I get to take a look at what others have stumbled upon. Big thanks!
My app suggestion is Frog. It functions like Eyedropper, but for OCR. Say if you watch a youtube video and there is a product page shown in the video stream and you want the full name of that product as shown in video, fire up Frog, Capture a snapshot of that title text in the frame of the video, share with Frog and there is your text for that string detected and OCRed. You can download other languages too and tell Frog which language it should attempt to OCR before your OCR the image. Great little tool.
More of this please, it seems so hard to know about these cool little Linux apps that fly under the radar. Here you can shine a light on a select handful and this allows us to see some cool things.
Another way to edit the metadata is by clicking on the big "M" in the toolbar. Choose what data you want to add/change, and save your work when you're done.
FYI, KDE has a color picker widget built-in. It's not super discoverable since it is a widget you need to add to your panel or desktop, but it works quite well
For me great apps are not necessarily the app I use the most but it is the one that is there when I need it the most, and it gets the job done. And for that Gnome Disks is one of my favorite app. Easy to use easy to figure out, and it is a powerful program. Also serves as a GUI to mount and dismount disks which is so so much easier than mounting from the command line.
For anyone else reading here... I did a quick check in late Oct, 2024. Cohesion is apparently ONLY a wrapper to ACCESS Notion's website. Notion IS basically hosted in "the cloud." So, it's important for users to know that Cohesion is NOT it's own thing... it's a connection client for Notion.
Iotas is so depressing. It could have been such a game changing app , but you can only open A SINGLE NOTE at a time. Only one!!!!!! Useless. Whole usefulness killed. Want to copy a note from one doc to another? You have to open one, copy , close it, open another, paste. Dumb.
If you haven't tried it yet, I love Obsidian. I use it for notes and for everyday use. Kind of complicated to use, but I like it. Also can enable vim keybindings lol
Oh man Sigil is the business! I mostly use it to correct ebooks I've bought that come with terrible covers or incorrect/missing meta data, definitely not to put covers on all the filthy stargate fanfic I read no sir.
Well darn, followed the link for the Box program and flathub says it is proprietary :( Still looks cool, and glad it available on Linux, but gonna stick with Inkscape.
I'm with you on the music taste i like little of everything as well. I feel like if u just stick to one category music you are just limiting out some good music that is out there compared to being open and listing to everything.
First glance at first item, wiki says license "GNU GPL / Proprietary"... so... next thought is... "pfff, Matt's being an opencore shill, again." heh. Then I see I'm looking at boxee, not boxy, and it gets worse, just straight proprietary shilling! lol. eyedropper's nice(r if sucks less), does stuff gcolor2 doesnt. Though, as for suggestions: Perhaps a run of lesser known TUI apps: midnightcommander/mc's mcedit, always first on my mind. ttysys, ttyload, slurm, dmesg as my system monitors beside a bedrock fork of htop. I realise I've retained far fewer gems than tried. So THANKS for these vids.
@@RandomGeometryDashStuff lesser known in that every editor war i've ever brought mcedit up in, there have been several for whom it is a new discovery. often/typically/usually, even from at least one mc user, who did not realise mc came with mcedit.

Thanks for posting the list, but if you included links to the apps it would be even better!

cool, how did you find them?
RSS probably.
I think I came across a couple of them on the Gnome DE website. Or the Kde DE website. There's loads on the Kde side.
I already knew most of them, and I knew them from clicking through Gnome Software.
Hah! On the music thing - my collection runs almost literally from Beethoven to Yes and back to Black Sabbath. #LikeGoodMusic
Yay! My fav series is back!
you have a great music taste

Eyedropper offers many standard formats. And that's the nice thing about standards -- there are so many to choose from. 😉
Awesome as usual!!! thanks for the info!
notetaking.. i dig Cohesion (Flatpak) which is basically Notion for Linux.

This video is really useful! Great work.
Thank you. Very helpful
I REALLY like your channel. Keep up the good work. ((:
The face is cursed ):
Don't forget Finamp if you're running Jellyfin instead of Plex
Hi matt! Im wondering if you heard about tumbleweed slow release and bedrock Linux.
I think you would find them interesting
Thank u for bring it back
This guy is why I went to linux thank u man
I just realised I have the same music taste as tlc.
If you haven't tried it yet, I love Obsidian. I use it for notes and for everyday use. Kind of complicated to use, but I like it. Also can enable vim keybindings lol
He's done videos on Obsidian.
My fault, I have yet to binge his content. New viewer alert lol
3:07 hey, can you please tell me how did you get taht *Rainmenter Mond* theme on your distro?
@@spthepero2282 are u talking about the widget?
@@TheLinuxCast yup, mond skin bro
No longer using Gnome?
Instead of Sigil
I use Calibre. It does everything Sigil can do. And more.
I'm gonna be using Eye dropper a lot.Thanks Matt.
As I passed by the like button, I tapped it.
Puddle of Mudd and system of a down... not judging. Solid choices.
Oh man Sigil is the business! I mostly use it to correct ebooks I've bought that come with terrible covers or incorrect/missing meta data, definitely not to put covers on all the filthy stargate fanfic I read no sir.
Top 5 "x", you got me! The Boxy program looks cool, thanks for sharing!
Well darn, followed the link for the Box program and flathub says it is proprietary :( Still looks cool, and glad it available on Linux, but gonna stick with Inkscape.
iotas - what about old good Basket?
I'm with you on the music taste i like little of everything as well. I feel like if u just stick to one category music you are just limiting out some good music that is out there compared to being open and listing to everything.
Keep it up man
Do you know how to get open source - recommendations about music in your library? Can’t stop using Apple Music and Spotify because of this feature.
Do for flatpack libadwaita apps
Puddle of Mudd rock!!!

how is mc lesser known?
mc is in every linux distro default repository I used
mc is in gparted live isos
@@RandomGeometryDashStuff lesser known in that every editor war i've ever brought mcedit up in, there have been several for whom it is a new discovery. often/typically/usually, even from at least one mc user, who did not realise mc came with mcedit.
Absolutely love iotas, it's a great replacement for apple notes on linux
Is it better than Obsidian?
It's a totally different thing.. Iotas is a simple notetaking app while Obsidian is a complete PKM solution.
Comparing them isn't possible
@@syedumairali4345 Got it, thank you.
plex is awesome, unfortunately its proprietery, any good open source alternatives?
Cherrytree is good too!
My goat!
Hello
Hey
x3270 is more niche.. hehehe
