Some spontaneous thoughts Linux:

• Awesome development environment
• Awesome software management (apt, zypper, etc)
• Great choice of desktop environments
• Gazillions of distros (comes with need to make a choice) Windows
• Great support for Nvidia drivers
• Great subsystem for Linux

Looks like you haven’t tried C++ yet? /s

The one in the image gallery app that comes preinstalled with the phone. On my current one it’s an app by Google, on the one before it was some app by Sony.

It’s a great player, but I prefer smplayer on the desktop and the default player on android. Somehow the interface is a bit clunky

I love it. But I configured away all the gui features (menus, graphical tab & scroll bars, etc)

Analogous to the Krita post, I am surprised nobody seems to know KolourPaint. It’s similar to MS paint. I use it, when I need to make a quick sketch, whiteboard style, e.g. when sharing my screen with a coworker.

Otherwise, I really must have Dolphin and Okular.

I love dolphin’s split mode (quickly toggled with F3) and its ability to seamlessly navigate all kinds of protocols for my NAS, webdav for nextcloud storage, MTP for the phone…

Okular has annotations which have been super useful to me. And it’s so easy to switch between viewing single page, two-page and multi-page. Which is great for skimming text documents and presentations. The auto reload ability is great when iterating on a document (e.g. latex doc or matplotlib chart).

Otherwise, of course firefox and thunderbird, not much to say here Please don’t use chrome. It’s market share makes Google the de-facto owner of www technology. But I guess I’d be preaching to the choir here.

+1 for vim. Although I usually use a stripped down gvim.

Didn’t know ncdu, will try.

I prefer btop to htop, the interface is much nicer.

For the terminal (and within vim) another must-have is fzf.

The partition running full did prevent me from updating the system. That surely can be somehow fixed. But with time and skill being limited resources in my life, it doesn’t mean that it is unimportant.

KolourPaint works very well for me.

Yeah, those are the same reasons I chose tumbleweed. Plus the rolling release.

I hope you made your system partition large enough. I had about 20G for / (excluding /home), which used to be enough for kubuntu, but quickly ran out of space on tumbleweed. I assume because of the Btrfs snapshots.

I reinstalled tumbleweed on a larger partition. Then couldn’t install the proprietary codecs, because of an error I couldn’t resolve.

Installed it a third time recently, now it runs smoothly.
