NEW LIST FOR 2021: czcams.com/video/61tHrSFkPFo/video.html
@Abdelrahman it's up now! Enjoy.
Thank you so much, TechHut. I loved the first one!!
czcams.com/channels/5UtyuNM4ZqR3sveUD1PWkA.html 😭😭😭😭😭
Why is your thoughts on CheeryTree Note taking app on Linux.
SInce there's a lot of people watching this video right now I just wanted to say that instead of using Etcher I would recommend the use of Popsicle. Etcher has been a hit or miss lately so I would recommend using popsicle for burning Linux isos and if you're wanting to burn a Windows ISO I would look into WOEusb.
You should try Ventoy, it's a multi iso bootable USB software. After the first flash, you just drag and drop iso files onto the flash! You can have many, many isos on one USB. I've tried it and it looks like a great piece of software.
@@segafrompk Yup! Its the best solution. And always works for any windows or Linux ISOs!!!
@@segafrompk Using Ventoy as well. It works reliably and saves me a lot of time formatting USB drives.
Ventoy allows to drag-n-drop several iso's to one usb stick. No need to "burn". Until Ventoy, I simply used 'dd'
+1 for Ventoy. After the first setup, it saves a lot of time and allows you to put multiple systems in the same USB device, so you can take the most of your big usb stick 😉
First you make me switch to linux and now you make me love it more. Thanks mate!
Yes, many more people are starting to consider Linux as a true alternative ... Chris Titus helped me see the possibilities of not having to keep paying Microsoft subscriptions ...
@@PoeLemic I’ve played around with Linux for years just out of curiosity, but never fully took the plunge. I didn’t like the slight frustrations of needing to play around with drivers and searching terminal commands just to get up and running. And if I really did want to use the real Microsoft or Apple programs, no way at all. But nowadays, all those apps have web versions, several distros are fairly idiot proof and more easy to use, there are several different “App Store” type things now. Seems a lot easier to ease into it now without fully ditching everything at once.
@@joe28753 Yuss
@@joe28753 Well what I found was that dealing with drivers is easier than it was on Windows tbh, granted I only tried Linux Mint and the installation process already sorted it for me, no need to search online, plus there's an app for easy updates of drivers.
I think terminal is mostly unnecessary, I have however had an issue where some of my non-flatpak apps took long to launch and had to find a command to install something which resolved the issue.
The way I see it, the only issues with Linux today is software dependency, some of the most popular apps are not available, sure there are other options but often not that great. That and battery life suffers on Linux so you wouldn't wanna run Linux on your laptop, which is horrible because that's precisely where you'd prefer Linux for lower specs.
Btw if anyone has similar problems, this is what I used to resolve app load issue : apt install appmenu-registrar vala-panel-appmenu-common
Good job. Ulauncher and Stacer are new for me. Keep going, and best wishes with your channel.
Thank you for the recommendations. Amazing video.
Good list. VLC is resource hungry. If you have older hardware and watch a lot of videos, use SMPlayer instead. I'm interested in Ulauncher and Stacer.
Ulaunch reminds me of Alfred on Mac OS which I've been using for years and love! Def going to install that.
Tip: If u want to fastly make a bootable usb, u just have the "Disks" app installed on your system. go there and select ur usb, click the three dots in upper right then restore disk image and choose it. and it takes like 2 3 mins based on ur write speed and its done. No extra app needed
KEWL!
Thanks pal!
Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
damn i ended up picking up a few of these apps, they work great. good job in letting us know.
I downloaded it and it does not start when I hit ctrl and spacebar
Nice video, thank you for recomendations.
The startup disk creator tool that comes with Ubuntu is really good, never had an issue with it.
great effort especially the sudo command docs
Thank you for the video. I like Darktable for my photo editor and Rapid Photo Downloader to download photos from my camera.
Extremely helpful. Thank you.
Great Video, new to linux, its nice to see what apps are out there that look nice
I repeated this video more than 10time.
Thanks for your efforts
Hey, which distro are you using in this vid bro?
Nice work. I am already using many of the Apps showcased... Much much love ❤
Simply awesome!!
Amazing video , please make more and also make a playlist please, stay safe and thank you.
Thanks much. I’m glad you enjoyed it. You too!
For Image editing I'd recommend Krita in my opinion it's superior, though that may just be personal preference
Krita is rather for digital drawing.
Wow! Thanks a lot.. Didn't even know some of these tools existed..... Somewhat of a newb here.... Thanks again.
Not the only Noob, but I'm becoming less intimidated by Linux now -- as I watch more videos like this on CZcams. I am planning to move from Windows to Linux, permanently ...
Great video. Thank you 😊 and keep it up!
U deserve more views buddy.... Why the hell people aren't watching ur video!
Hey 700 isn’t all that bad 😉 as I come out with better quality content this will improve. Thank you!!
@@TechHut This video has come a long way. 70kk in 4 months
Very good video!!! 73 from Patagonia LU3VM!
Omg are you a aquarist :) Nice stocking btw
It's my other passion 😇 My favorite in there are my Cory Cats they're so awesome. I also have a Guppy breeding tank. 🐠
Awesome video, thanks.
Hello dear sir, thank you! What theme do You use? Thank you 🙏
Very USEFUL Video... Thank you
Very good list!
Trusty vim for all your source and note editing needs!
vim broaf
For coding, I use VSCodium. For just simple text editing, I use Neovim.
Awesome cool content- thanks mate
For text editors, Kate. Few things in life are perfect but Kate is as close to perfection as any text editor.
Kate is really amazing!
I'm most comfortable in Kate, or Notepadqq but if I edited text more; I'd want to learn Emacs or Vim.
@@madthumbs1564 Prescient/ I am now on vim, and can't exit. In more ways than one. :)
why use ulauncher instead of synapse? what does it offer to be better?
Great video, bro!
I found two that might be worth testing: Stacer and Notepadqq. Not bad.
Many thanks to Mr Techhut. Yes Notepadqq is good, but I would also recommend "Kate" which is a really great program also.
Kate is absolutely wonderful. I'm running Plasma right now and it's a great default.
I prefer Deja-dup over Timeshift because Timeshift doesn't support snapshots to external locations. Deja-dup however deals with them rather well, and I can sleep better having my off-site backups
One of the most important things about Timeshift is its user-friendly Terminal interface, which is what I usually use when I'm not doing anything advanced, or if I can't boot into a GUI. I'm a tinkerer, so I have the commands "sudo timeshift --create" and "sudo timeshift --restore --yes" set to aliases "thisagain" and "fubar" respectively.
tap only the "windows" key once, and type...
or if you havent got that functionality, you probably have dmenu instead
I call it the super key, idk what the actual name is
@@lowlevelm it's called the windows key, the super key, or I think command (?) I'm not good with Macs
I have been using that mode since i have ubuntu but in my opinion i think this app is better than that option, i don't like when every time i wanna search an app the other apps tha i use appear in my screen for change the app is cool (same as alt tab) but for searching i don't think so
@@simpan197 Mod4.
With Simplenote you should also check out Cherrytree and Joplin. I love Joplin...
New to ubuntu....when using the " sudo apt install stacer" I get unable to locate package. After reading package lists. Or how do you build up your pacgage list? Thx in advance. I did do a download and thought it was downloaded but got the message "file not supported"
You have to add the repository, it's not in your OS repository, I use Linux Mint but it should be the same on Ubuntu, what I did is this :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oguzhaninan/stacer -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install stacer
So ulauncher emulates krunner with less features?
Opposing to etcher I prefer Fedora Media creation tool, because it also reliably formats USB Sticks, even ones that aren't recognized by Windows, for wich I otherwise would have to boot to Linux
How to change two diffrent calc files using key board shortcut...when using alt + tab it moves to different application ..cant move in between two same application files...please help me
Great👌👌
Some of these apps dont tell the minimum version of ubuntu etc. What if your business still runs on ubuntu 14.04 that's still getting extended security maintenance
BuNgie had me doubting my hearing.... not heard that pronunciation before! Great List BTW
(Halo Theme starts playing)
Budgie
pubgee
Sir, how did you enabled the power icon on the right side of top bar? (20.04)
Nice!
very good content
Great Stuff. The letter U is pronounced the same way all three times in Ubuntu. it's Ooh-Boon-Too not Ooh-Bun-Too. English is awesome and strange, because we treat vowels so many different ways. Ubuntu is an actual word from the Zulu language. Cheers & great stuff!
Ran into a problem with Simplenote. I'm running Ubuntu on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB of RAM. Turns out Simplenote won't run on ARM64 architecture.
I'm also having trouble getting Private Internet Access to work. I'm wondering if it might be the same issue? Not asking for solutions, just wanted to post.
Stacer is nice tool, specially its services display.
In my opinion people don't adapt to Linux due to the lack of knowledge so videos like this are great. The fact that Linux isn't on a tablet is a downside also. Linux on dex from Samsung was a big jump for Linux and was taken away. A distro has got to be on Android again. I have Andronix but its way too aggravating to use. Thanks.
Also battery life on laptops, that should be a priority fix. On desktop computers, most people aren't that concerned with system resource usage difference as they are on laptops and other mobile devices. That's where Linux should be expanding, laptops. It should be aiming for people who mostly just use their computer as a browser bootloader and media consumption.
@@ararune3734 linux has to be advertised and pushed. It should have a consumer distro. You ever see a Linux commercial? Until Linux gets that type of attention it will not expand too much on desktops.
@@michaelzedalis4690 I don't see that happening though. You ever see Windows advertised? No, they have deals that make their OS pre-installed on most machines. Most people don't install an OS themselves.
I was a Windows user until recently, but I always bought PCs/laptops with Linux installed or no OS because it's cheaper and I could always install Windows myself for free and use 'Windows money' for better hardware.
Now, if I installed Linux on my dad's PC, he doesn't care, he can't tell the difference, just make it easy for him to find his browser and give him bookmarks. That's why I'm saying, Linux should be 'advertised' to people with simple needs who would use it as a browser bootloader, because that's where its' biggest advantage is, security, no faff with antivirus or any such nonsense, no faff with updates. By all metrics, it's easier to use for people who just wanna turn on their PC and browse.
But I can't see people who aren't into tech ever making a switch
@@ararune3734 Your right people not in tech will ever switch. Nobody knew what chrome os was about at first. Windows gets advertised. There are many commercials and its advertised as the pre-installed os for computers at best buy and other stores. I do think however that if linux ever becomes popular on the desktop, Microsoft will be the one responsible. They are adapting more and more of linux all the time. I would not be surprised if they had a distro made already.
@@michaelzedalis4690 Oh well fair enough, I'm not American so I've never seen these commercials.
I actually agree with you, it would be Microsoft to push users towards Linux, perhaps inadvertently.
Microsoft's primary product isn't even Windows at this point if you've noticed, they're looking more towards the gaming industry, having acquired some giant gaming studios. If they're really hell bent on forcing Windows, it would be through games and exclusivity, but then they'd probably also have to avoid having their games on Steam because Steam is looking to support Linux gaming with Proton and now with Steam Deck even more so. So I think Steam and Microsoft are rivals.
We'll see, either way Linux community would have to be open minded and make Linux really accessible.
Cool video, just the case for #launching ;)
Thanks for the neofetch....
Great list. An alternative to installing all of this would be to just use Garuda, most of this stuff is out of the box there.
Does Notepadqq support plugins?
I don't think that many people realise that Disks can also write ISO images to Flash disks, I use disks if the distro doesn't have it's own image writing software.
I like Stacer, just installed that myself after watching this video, thank you for the list.
its very problematic. not many people recommends it
@@sayochikun3288 I've never had issues using disks this way, but I can't speak for everybody.
@@stranded_mariner7695 I do recommend GParted for people who has problems with Disks.
If you are using gnome based os use gnome disks instead of etcher
People actually use Gnome?
@@madthumbs1564 its not that relevant to me because i use a tiling wm insted of gnome de . But back when i used gnome based systems i loved gnome disks
What's the name of that pack of icons?
I generally don't pay much attention to these kinds of videos. Got lucky since it was late and I decided to watch, #1 ULauncher... I had to have run across it at some point in the past and just got Alzheimer's but thanks for reintroducing it to me!
Fedy is also a lovely tool to keep....its easy to go installer :) sadly only for fedora :(
Which Linux distro you are using in this video ...pls ?
hi, the lixux mint doesn't work for me connect via usb midi keyboard - it won't show up anywhere. At the same time, I easily connect all disks, mice, and PC keyboards on the same USB. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
Will these run on Raspbian OS? I have Raspberry PI 4/ 8GB and 500ssd. I am new to LINUX and many u pointed out I was seeking for Linux.
All of these should run without issue :)
Hi there , I `m new to linux , I run Zorin Ultimate Core , it`s beautiful , I love it .
When I`ve used neofetch , my GPU does not show which one it is . Only says " Nvidia Nvidia Corporation Devic " and that it has 6 GB memory . but mine has 8 GB .
Have I not installed the right driver?
I`ve used the method in which you put in the commands in the terminal ,I`ve copied them from the internet .
P.S. : Before installing the nvidia driver (I use a TV as a monitor ) the TV was not being recognized nor the sound worked , as it is connected via HDMI cable .
On some distros you need to setup the sound device in the parameters.. i need that on my pop os when connected to tv.
@@Didier88600 I`ve installed ubuntu ever since . Runs perfectly with the exception of the Wi-Fi card. Sometimes, it simply does not find it when I start up the PC . Usually , a few restarts fix the problem. I `ll stick to Linux , I really like it .
@@chrisyoutube4214 I stick to pop os because its ubuntu with a restoration system that can help to reinstal when i crash the system.
Sublime, Cherry tree.. good too.
I recommend fish, is a friendly and productive shell
Do you (and why) prefer that over zsh with Oh My Zsh? In my experience, zsh has a much broader support from other developers. They, for example, often offer both bash and zsh auto completion. Is fish just compatible with one of both? Or is it less popular and thus less supported?
@@IgnoreMyChan I was a user of omzsh and ombash, and basically what made me prefer fish over the other two, is that fish starts much faster and has the features I need
Weebs
A similar note taking app that works great is Cherrytree
10:35 VLC? You can try MPV instead it's highly minimal and can work with most codecs and renders videos using Vulkan.
Vulkan for videos is a bit of an overkill. And VLC has all the possible options for everything media related, in one window
@@mariozenarju6461 MPV very minimal and keyboard driven, which I feel is great with my DWM+Gentoo setup. Since TechHut is new to Linux, I see why he chose VLC. In Linux, I faced some stability issues and glitches with VLC which isn't the case with MPV, I don't know if video LAN worked on stability or not since it has been a while since I left VLC.
@@PixelTrik VLC is actually really stable. Just don't close it completely, but leave it minimized in system tray. That's a mistake everyone makes
I found that some videos play better in VLC compared to mpv, mainly mkv bluray rips, but it could be more because my computer is potato
I use SMPlayer, which doesn't look very good but works well and also remembers where you left off when playing long files.
Thanks for this. I'm loving ulauncher. VLC sucks, wont launch, or I should say launched once and after that, nada... I know this has nothing to do with you. I apologize, butvi have nowhere else to vent. I'd like to write and tell them my issues but to get through to them, even an email, you have to join a site, so a huge GONG in that. Easier and less hassle to delete it.
Please tell which linux distribution are you usibg
Where do you get Stacer? It's not in the Mint Repos or Software center. Not on Flathub either.
Want to really rock Gimp? Check out Davies Media Design here on CZcams. Gimp 2.10.xx is amazing. Who needs Photoshop?
Mint is Ubuntu / Debian based. Stacer is available in Manjaro and Arch repositories.
Forgot to snip some voice breaks out? Guess kdenlive isn't that perfect... JK. Nice video, installed some of them!
which destro you use ?
Which linux distribution are you using
What DE are you using?

Does anyone know wich theme is he using? That looks really good
It's ubutu budgie
It’s a desktop environment
@@sebastianmaltz8105 Wow, such great and unknown information! [/S]
What are you using to display clock at lower right corner?
It’s a applet in Ubuntu Budgie. That OS is awesome so far.
which theme he is using in the video ?
1:30 [ULauncher] It's way easier than... [demonstrates basically the same workflow as before]. I don' get the point of ULauncher. On Windows, Microsoft has created an equivalent PowerToy so I guess there's user demand but what's so great about a screen centered search field?
It's pretty and it has some advanced file searching features.
what about the olive video editor?
lol @ mystery snails! I had some come in on some live plants and they almost took over the entire tank. Took months of cleaning and recleaning to finally get them all out since they reproduce faster than rabbits.
I learned a couple of new things and already have several so I'm feeling both informed and validated.
Anything like ulauncher that uses brave rather than straight Google search?
this video's title should be "Top 10 Linux Apps: Essential Software Everyone Needs... if not running KDE Plasma, if so, you already have all of these"
man i love ur beard
🧔 I’m mostly just lazy
Sir can use idm software's.
Kdenlive? I'm not a content creator, wtf do I need this for? As "essential" goes this is pretty niche...
Gnome Tweak? I run KDE Plasma.
Nice name
Why the negative reaction? If you don't like it, just turn away and move on.
How can I get the Taskbar as you have???
Can you give us a list of the softwares you mentioned?
what site would be best to download Linux ,tried a few and get half way to a 1.6gig download and it stops...any tips :)
Which linux? Most OS have direct download link and even local mirror
Nice vid!
Does anybody knows if is it there any launcher like ULauncher that works in Ubuntu Wayland 20.04?
I know it's a year later, but if anyone else reads it, Albert Launcher should work on Ubuntu since it works on my Mint.
You desktop environment is Gnome, its your distribution which is Budgie (Ubuntu).
What's the advantage of ulauncher over using the stock windows key search overview on gnome?
When using GNOME the main difference is visual. There are really nice shortcuts you can add as well. On other desktop environments it's a big deal.
@@TechHut ok. Thanks for the response!
My list:
1. Rofi
2. Stacer, Bleachbit, htop
3. Timeshift
4. N/A (I don't edit videos)
5. (I'll check that out)
6. VLC
7. ~/.i3/config, lxappearance, etc.
8. dd
9. GIMP (I don't use it, but I have it)
10. Sublime Text
VLC is bloated (also unstable in Linux) garbage. -if I want those extra features; they're simpler in stand alone software.
@@madthumbs1564 I tried Celluloid, found it too minimal, and couldn't be bothered adding extensions to it, so I stuck with VLC. I also mostly watch videos in the browser anyway, so it hasn't bugged me enough to find a replacement. If you have suggestions though, I'm all ears.
@@cuttlefishn.w.2705 Wdym too minimal, what's it lacking? I had VLC and I had issues with non-flatpak apps taking forever to load, the flatpak version was an eyesore because it wouldn't take my system theme so I just ditched it for the default Celluloid.
Problem with Rofi is that it won't find flatpak apps, I prefer it's look over Albert Launcher but I might have to switch.
I use Notepad ++ on Zorin
