Hi again, this is Tony Hies from Blackpool in the UK.
Getting a still short of shows so here's another quick one to help out with the queue.
This one is going to be about the applications I use on my Linux Mint 19.1 install.
I've been using Linux for over 10 years now, and during that time I've never felt that there was anything
particularly lacking in the software department for day-to-day productivity and general day-to-day use.
So this is just a list of some of the things that I suspect most computer users need to make
a electronic life a reality.
So for internet browsing I use Firefox.
I've been using this since my Windows XP days, and it was just natural that as it's the default
web browser in Linux Mint, this is what I would continue to use when I moved over to Linux.
I occasionally use Chrome, but for most part Firefox is what I continue to use and it works
for me.
We mail, why I've got several web-based accounts.
This means that they're particularly operating system, diagnostic, I can access them from
whatever computer I'm using, but for the ISP I use, they provide me with a account and
I use Thunderbird for accessing and downloading to store my emails offline on the desktop
PC.
I can also use this to access web-based accounts if I want to install those emails offline
when needed, but I don't necessarily always do that.
Office productivity wise, this is provided with LibreOffice, which is a very mature and comprehensive
office suite, comprising of all the main tools needed, such as a word processor, spreadsheet
and presentation software.
It also has a database and drawing package for math geeks and advanced maths formula creating
program, which I'd never use personally, but could be very useful for students and scientists.
As far as audio and video played back, again I've been using VLC, which is a native programming
Linux Mint, but it was also something I started using back in the Windows days.
It works with all the audio and video code decks that you can throw at it.
And if you have the LibreDVDCSS code deck, you can use, you can use and play DVDs that
you've bought.
The recording shows an editing audio, I use audacity, which is, again, it's a cross-platform
program, and it's a very powerful piece of software, as myself and many others can attest to.
I've been using it quite considerably in recording and editing, HPR shows, but recently
I've been recording and using it to edit the Mintcast podcast, which I've got involved
with.
So, that's a great piece of software to use.
So anyway, that's the end of a short list of some of the programs I use on a day-to-day
basis on my PC, and I hope you found it useful.
If not, it doesn't really matter, because Ken still got a show out of me, so that's it for
this one.
I don't use Sony enough HPR, and I'll see you down the road again, bye.
