soooo I was looking for a good palce to talk about open soruce software something like a forum maybe and got reminded of my open source reddit search a while ago. so here I am is there a list of open source productivity tools? if there is no proper list shall we do one togther? with us all sharing oru software and thoughts?
I for one currently have Rambox and Ferdi on my computer Rambox being bit more slugish and unprofessional looking and being a tad slower while ferdi has a way less intuitive ui and use since you cant just enter a url to add something it also takes more ressources then Rambox.
I also play TheDarkMod, 0 A.D. Airshipper (Veloren) and MegaGlest which are all a lot of fun and reall well made in my opinion
software I also have on my computer Gimp (toying around I really like it) OpenVPN (for school I like it super polished) Godot (did some small games I am sure the Engine is great but I haven’t invested enough time to use it properly I also don’t have prior experience) Brave (due to some circumstances I have this browser I am not a fan of it tho I would like to have something like (forgot name) where you can host under the domain you want since the network is different the browser has its own dns I think it works over p2p but I am not sure) KeePass 2 (seems a bit old fashioned and the design is soso it is also not that intuitive and it has a lot of room to improve still the ebst password manager I found) VirtualBox (for school and prior private use I love this thing it’s a dream and I will never give it back)
I am looking for productivity tools and opensource software you guys think would be helpfull and have a good use and impact I prefer intuitive things that are not too komplex but if it is plenty helpful I will also put the work in.
I don’t mind games and entertainment sofwtare as well so post post post!!!.
I thank everyone for reading this and hope to see a lot of recommendations or additions to my list
Hi, welcome! :) There is a productivity /c/ on Lemmy btw : https://lemmy.ml/c/productivity Also this : https://awesomeopensource.com/projects/productivity
About Gimp : There are issues about its name since years. There was a fork called Glimpse but sadly the main programmer had to quit. Have a look at Krita, Mypaint, Blender and Inkscape.
KeepassXC is maybe an improvement over KeePass 2. Bitwarden is very popular and gets many good reviews. Has a /c/ on Lemmy.
As a newbie, what’s the problem with gimp name?
From the FAQ from the Glimpse editor : https://glimpse-editor.org/about/#what-is-wrong-with-the-gimp-name - Over the years I have seen people not wanting to use Gimp because they find the name not professional.
This might be enlightening.
Didn’t know about Glimpse, thanks ;)
I should also try Krita. I have had it installed for the longest time but never really tried it. Is it a good “competitor” to GIMP for imagine manipulation (rather than drawing)?
