What is the BEST GNU/Linux software you have ever used? Bonus points if it's not available on Microsoft Windows

What is the BEST GNU/Linux software you have ever used? Bonus points if it's not available on Microsoft Windows.

Gonna have to go with The GIMP or GNU Emacs even though they're both available on Microsoft Windows

what the fuck is gnu/linux software?

I'm gonna go with the Linux kernel.
Or GCC. That's also really useful.

none of it is GNU or Linux

Meant to reply to GCC isn't linux

Probably guake and apt-get

Renoise

oh.. i was sure the thread is just about open source software

Samba

It's about software that runs on linux

gimp is garbage by any objective measure tbphwy

You said GNU or Linux software. GCC is GNU. Linux is Linux. Both super useful, seeing as they're both used a lot.
GCC and Linux both are used on the most used Linux distro, too! Ubuntu.

Most GNU software does, m8.

Libreoffice. It's not a sexy answer, but 99% of my time I either surf or use LO

qbittorrent

one that surprised me was gtkPod
it was waaaay better alternative to itunes

Firefox, GIMP, VLC

GNU/bash
GNU/ffmpeg, or as I've recently been calling it Gnu^ffmpeg
GNU+gimp

gnu/linux
gnu/bash
g̶n̶u̶ apache/ImageMagick
gnu/ffmpeg
gnu/mpv
gnu/vlc
gnu/gimp

WINE

This. Kinda wish someone like the OpenBSD folks would fork GIMP. Why are the GNU folks so incompetent?

>GNU/ffmpeg, or as I've recently been calling it Gnu^ffmpeg

unetbootin
rufus
7zip

well i used photorec to recover an almost finished project from my laptop after i reformatted it without backing it up so im impressed by that right now.
LibreOffice would be my nr 1 anwser if they would reorganize the menus and git the impress gud. I mean they should really use stable releases for bugfixing and development for fixing the menus.
Also VLC. it plays everything, forget what people who cant set it up properly say. Would like a gtk version for gnome tho.

Linux is GPLv2 licensed.
G for GNU General Public License.

actually GNU software is just software thats part of FSF GNU Project, not all random software that chose GPL for licensing.
gnu.org/software/software.html

It really isn't. Ui is not pretty but the software itself is pretty good.

>actually GNU software is just software thats part of FSF GNU Project

Nope. Stallman wrote the GPL which means he contributed to the project to keep it open and freedom so that means he gets credit for any GPL licensed software.

Zsh, dnf, and Libre office. Once I saw that you could make docx files in it I was super impressed.

I was gonna say OpenSSH, but that's not GNU/Linux software, it's BSD software.

gcc

gnu coreutils

Literally the worst compiler out there tbqhwy famalam.

Ffmpeg

reaver

Ardour

Bash of course. Also pacman

Bitwig

iptables / netfilter is pretty great

Cd

It's called coreutils you dipshit

zsh is better

pf is better

xfce4

>zsh is better
Compatibility issues. I'd rather stick to bash

Rufus has a linux version?

p7zip is not in coreutils, though.

GNU coreutils are great (unfortunately available on botnet, too). I hate using Busybox which is so limited compared to GNU.

Bloated as fuck though. GNU true is like 100 lines of code.

Compatibility to what?

I can't believe nobody said vim yet. ffs at least 4 people said open office wtf is wrong with you. vim for the love of God. also, yes core utils and zsh. cmus too

vim was not originally written for Linux nor is it part of GNU

>GNU/Linux
Linux

systemd

gcc
emacs

Galaxies screensaver.

...

You sound upset. Did OpenRc destroy your xorg.conf again?

did you really just mix memes?

You never mix memes, also Arch rocks.

There are two big problems with OpenRC: first, most if not all OpenRC systems
are completely broken (missing daemons, lingering processes, etc. are just the
tip of the iceberg); secondly, it should be called GNU/OpenRC.

For these reasons, it is impossible to support OpenRC on Linux. Problems
appearing on OpenRC systems will usually simply be ignored unless they can be
reproduced on non-OpenRC systems.

It's because most people don't want to contribute because they'd rather not be locked down by the license.

Stellarium. So good

I use runit in Void, so no. Never had a problem with it.

That has nothing to do with GNU developers being amateurish dumbasses.
