Trying to discover new/unheard Linux desktop programs (Sorry for the confusion).

Edit: I apologise for confusing a lot of people. I meant Linux desktop “programs” coming from Windows/Mac. I’m used to calling them “apps”.

Edit: 🙌 I’m overwhelmed with the great “programs” people have recommended in the comment section. Thank you guys.

I was never able to fully get into Logseq, might give it another try at some point.

Have you tried QOwnNotes? I think it’s pretty good

I have not, I’m using Standard Notes at the moment. I’ll have a look at QOwnNotes though, thanks for the recommendation

QOwnNotes

Thank you for recommending this. I started using Joplin about week or two ago, but this one seems even better for me.

Do it!

I had some initial problems in the beginning, because I was used to linear note taking apps like OneNote or Joplin, but once I watched a guide on how it works, it clicked and now it’s my second nature. I even began to write my hand written notes in Logseq style!


TL;DR, if you don’t wanna watch any guides/ read docs:

  • Indentation matters. Logseq works with a parent-child hierarchy
  • You usually don’t open or create new pages, you write everything in your journal and link stuff there.
  • Use links, either with [[Link]] or #Tag, which are the same. They crosslink different topics and reveal connections.
  • Make use of plugins. There are thousands of it. Especially the Graph Analysis plugin should be included by default.

I used Obsidian extensively at a previous job. The linking of notes was super helpful! I don’t think it’ll work as well for my needs at the moment (at work) but I’ll give it a go

What do you do at your job? As long as you don’t work at an assembly belt in a factory, you will still probably get benefits out of it.

Examples:

  • Notes about colleagues or customers
  • Project ideas
  • Random thoughts
  • Writing down meetings and mails
  • And much more!

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
