These apps look amazing, but I wish there'd be more integration between Qt, GNOME, and Elementary. While a developer can choose a platform, they shouldn't feel bound to one DE. That's a big reason for theming, which can achieve that with some added complexity.
yeah I agree. If you install them from flatpak, the start up really slowly as well. I would recommend compiling them from source for a more native experience.
Damn the elementary graphical toolkit is so polished. I wanna try making a simple app using that, and publish it to the App Center :D Great video as always

9:39 I use flameshot for that. It's not as intuitive but it IS more powerful. The only thing it doesn't have out of all those options is the magnifying effect
Here's another one for you. Notes Up. It's a pretty full featured Zettlekasten-like note taking and organizer made for Elementary, but AFAIK works in any Linux with GTK 3. You can even install it from the AUR if that's your jam, not Flatpak needed.
Great video as always One minor comment though is that the timestamp for "mixer" is earlier than when you start mentioning it (almost overlaps with tuner)
Will there ever be a way for package managers to indicate if the software you're going to install matches your desktop? Like a simple badge for "gnome" or "plasma" so your software can look consistent...
GTK apps will look good on Desktops that use GTK. QT apps will look better on desktops that use QT. Gnome uses GTK and KDE uses QT. I hope this helps next time you install an application.
I really like these types of videos, since switching to gnu/linux I always have the feeling I'm missing out on useful tools just because I just don't know about them.

Elementary apps uses granite library most of the time. So they will look the same regardless of the any distro. On the other hand, any GTK 3 apps will respect the theme if you have the theme installed as flatpak. Most of the popular GTK 3 theme has flatpak version.
The biggest issue with mind maps is that there's no open source app for mobile. While not being able to open your mind map and add something there, when you're on the go away from your rig, you have to use some text editor instead

Awesome Video!! Thanks for all you do! Any suggestions for an app that you can view sheet music digitally? I am a musician and would love to switch to Linux, but I haven't been able to find an app that will allow me to view my sheet music. :)
All I wish is elementary's pantheon environment to be available on other distros. I love elementary os but I prefer fedora or manjaro as my daily driver.
Nick, i'm currently running Elementary 6, for a daily driver would you recommend Fedora 35, I am ok with setting up the NVIDIA drivers ( grr**!!!). Is it worth the move?
Thank you for the great curated list of apps. I will definitely be installing most of them. I would have to say though that flatpak, appimage and :P snaps are going in the wrong direction. Linux users have long admonished Windows and Windows apps for the bloat. Sandboxes are great for security, but in the end it doesn't make sense to have all of these packets duplicating resources because the app that they were distributed with only works with those resources. It also introduces some security risk as older packages that contain vulnerabilities could be lurking in a flatpak, appimage or snap that will never get updated. Linux does need to fix this package and dependency problem though. I think that this is not the way to do it.
@@MyReviews_karkan He is talking about apps not desktop environment. With libadwaita and granite we most likey see more GTK 4 apps. On the other hand, Steam Deck is using KDE. Gaming focused apps may use qt more.
These apps looks cool and some of them makes me want to need them, but all of this I can either do with Emacs and KDE Plasma apps and widgets, or really have no use for (like Ensembles).
I don't understand how I'm supposed to add that Flatpak remote - can someone help me out there? The URL isn't displayed in its entirety, but when you hover the mouse over it, it's a TH-cam link with some sort of redirect?
How do I install ensembles on Pop OS though? I tried multiple times and multiple wasy and for some reason it isn't working out. Can you help with this?
I have a question, isn't like elementary OS based on Ubuntu, which is indeed based on Debian, then why do these developers only provide the native code on elementary OS and flatpak, can't they just give every debian based distro, native binary ?
I keep looking for that frog application, little hard to google if i dont know where to download it. Can someone tell me where i can download it and use it and is there a windows version as well for it. Thank you
Both, elemtary and zorin looks really nice for someone who thinking about switching to Linux but Lack of native global menu (because of Gnome) it is so much wasted space on topbar ;/ I know you can modify this and add global menu, but it will break coherency of the system because it is not native, and have no idea how it will work with updates, probably will break? So will get Plasma Manjaro, probably....
