suggest me some "sudo apt must-install" apps.

[unreal tinsel]

yeah. plz.

hi

any kind of application

suggest c:

cmoonnnn

[mild compass]

What do you need?

And what distro are you using?

[prime wave]

Synaptic Package Manager (on debian-based linux)

[unreal tinsel]

i want to discover some apps, i use linux mint

[unreal tinsel]

have it already c;

[prime wave]

audacious

[mild compass]

https://youtu.be/kV8Hu54zhbA?si=H9dVVRQf7a4FXX1i

[unreal tinsel]

was ist das

[prime wave]

streamtuner2

[mild compass]

Only if it's needed, mostly youtubers use it

[mild compass]

Audio recording & editing software

[prime wave]

audacious is a multifunctional, light and great music PLAYER

[unreal tinsel]

i find mint's sound so low according to windows, how do i fix that without losing quality

i was using dolby audio in windows

[mild compass]

It sounds similar to audacity 😭, I thought its a fork

[unreal tinsel]

when i make my sound full, it feels like half

[unreal tinsel]

i needed that, thank you

[mild compass]

Try vlc

[unreal tinsel]

have it

[mild compass]

Install only office

[prime wave]

audacious with Winamp skin. rocking streams for hours

[mild compass]

Btw what do you do with system?

[mild compass]

Looks cool af

[prime wave]

ty

[unreal tinsel]

mine looks like this

[prime wave]

you can change the UI in settings

to winamp mode, pick Refugee or default skin

u can get more from winamp skin museum website

[dry radish]

If you want more screenshot stuff, Flameshot is a popular choice.

[mild compass]

I use flameshot

[unreal tinsel]

thanks ill try

[mild compass]

Even on windows

[unreal tinsel]

i did it, it looks so small tho

[dry radish]

For email, Thunderbird and Evolution are pretty nice.

[prime wave]

press ctrl+D

[unreal tinsel]

fixed

[unreal tinsel]

what does it do

[prime wave]

double-size toggle

[dry radish]

Obsidian is epic if you're into note-taking

[mild compass]

Evolution Ui is better

[unreal tinsel]

that thing is looks cool as fffff broo

[mild compass]

I recommend appflowy if you are casually taking notes

[unreal tinsel]

is it basic to use?

[dry radish]

Inkscape is a must have if you're into vector graphics stuff... Lunacy if you're into UI/UX

[regal shale]

On the other hand, evolution is also really ugly

[mild compass]

Yes very easy to use

[prime wave]

Okular for good / better pdf viewer

[regal shale]

I'd love an Adwaita evolution

[unreal tinsel]

better than obsidian?

[mild compass]

Obsidian requires knowledge of markdown files

[regal shale]

Do not utter that name in my presence!

[dry radish]

Stacer too

[mild compass]

Appflowy is just much easier to use

[dry radish]

Markdown is like... pretty easy, not even mandatory to format stuff

Though yeah, Obsidian can be a bit overwhelming

[mild compass]

But appflowy is easier to use for casual users

[dry radish]

I'm more of a Google Keep type of guy

[mild compass]

Google keep sucks

[regal shale]

Obsidian is disgraceful. Paying a subscription for about 2 megs of space should be a crime.

[unreal tinsel]

how can i make my speaker sound more loud ?

while watching yt for example

[mild compass]

Check pulseaudio settings

[unreal tinsel]

i feel its max is like half of i was hearing in windows

[regal shale]

You can do it using pactl, but warning that if you amplify it too much over spec it can destroy them

[unreal tinsel]

is mint uses pulseaudio or pipewire

[regal shale]

Yes, you can go over 100%

[mild compass]

I don't remember completely

[dry radish]

Does what I need to
If I need more than that (or just really something objectively better), I have a simplenote account

[dry radish]

pipewire in newer versions

[mild compass]

Simplenote is nice

[dry radish]

pulseaudio is there for fallback and compat afaik

[mild compass]

Also you can install only office

[dry radish]

Onlyoffice ftw fam 🤝

[mild compass]

I use ms office these days

[dry radish]

How's the web version now?

[unreal tinsel]

there was something that was equalizing speakers, microphone settings

[mild compass]

I'm on windows

[dry radish]

Oh yeah, LTSC guy

[unreal tinsel]

o why

[mild compass]

Using ltsc 2021 versin

[dry radish]

Stuff they need, usually like that

[unreal tinsel]

okai

[unreal tinsel]

anyone knows>>?

[dry radish]

pwvuctl

not, pavuctl... that's for pulseaudio

[mild compass]

Its useful

[dry radish]

Can you link it here Steve? I can't seem to find it, I forgot the repos.

Thanks my bro

[mild compass]

Can't find that package

Is it named something else?

[dry radish]

Idk either, I might have forgot

[unreal tinsel]

is this it?

[dry radish]

https://flathub.org/apps/com.saivert.pwvucontrol

[mild compass]

Nice

[dry radish]

I can't find it because I was searching for pwvuctl lmfao

[mild compass]

Same

Apparantly pavucontrol also works with pipewire

[dry radish]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeee, love it

[unreal tinsel]

oh is it

so what can i use it for

[mild compass]

But trybthe app sent by @dry radish

[mild compass]

To controll volume of individual devices, apps etc.

[dry radish]

I have trauma with Flatpaks, I barely touch them unless I really badly have to

So I'm probably gonna.... stick... with... my friend, pavu

[unreal tinsel]

wo why

[unreal tinsel]

which

[mild compass]

Some people don't like flatpaks for some reason

[mild compass]

@unreal tinsel

[mild compass]

Everyone has different choices

[unreal tinsel]

pwvu control

[dry radish]

Did install Bottles before, tried to remove it. My dumbass might have not purged the configs and stuff so I had like how many residual files.

[mild compass]

I also prefer deb instead of flatpaks

[dry radish]

Not sure, I'm pretty dumb with Flatpaks. They're nice, but I don't really see any need for me to use them when I have .deb.

[unreal tinsel]

but .deb packages don't update auto

[dry radish]

Definitely greater good for the Linux desktop ecosystem though.

[mild compass]

They do

[dry radish]

You can configure your package manager to do just that.

[unreal tinsel]

oh

uh

can yall teach me if its okay

[mild compass]

What

[unreal tinsel]

how to auto update discord .deb for example

[mild compass]

Via update manager app

[mild compass]

If update is there, it will install automatically

[mild compass]

I use chrome deb and it gets updated frequently

[dry radish]

Chrome is like the fastest updating li'l package on my desktop

[unreal tinsel]

it adds its repository while installing it maybe thats why

but discord dont add its repository while installing it

[mild compass]

Oh

I don't use discord in linux rn so idk

[dry radish]

I'd use the Flatpak then, or just web

[mild compass]

I prefer vesktop over discord on linux

[unreal tinsel]

am using flatpak rn, never had a problem till now ( im using mint for 2 days )

[mild compass]

Or webcord

[prime wave]

kpatience, kdiamonds, and supertuxkart. fun games

also snake4 or wormz

[mild compass]

Or get steam

[unreal tinsel]

can u send some screenshoots

[prime wave]

im too tired. check software manager

[unreal tinsel]

sure

[prime wave]

also cheese app for webcam fun n previews

although webcamoid may already be installed in Mint

[unreal tinsel]

i cant find kdiamonds

[prime wave]

maybe it's just kdiamond

[unreal tinsel]

yea

[prime wave]

it is like Bejewlled game

kasts (as a flatpak only i think) for searching n listening to any podcast

stacer was mentioned too. good for cleaning

[unreal tinsel]

cleaning what

[prime wave]

cache junk on disk

[mild compass]

Bitbleach

[unreal tinsel]

installed those

[prime wave]

bleachbit (non-flatpak) is better, more thorough but use caution

[unreal tinsel]

can it f up my system

[prime wave]

if u go crazy in the root mode maybe. but keep a timeshift snap anyway

[unreal tinsel]

wow super tux is online ?

[prime wave]

is it?

[unreal tinsel]

yeah

[prime wave]

another thing that's worth doing in Nemo file manager settings is enable tooltips for large icon view

so they show the file size and date on hover of any file in icon view

[unreal tinsel]

alright

[prime wave]

google Earth is nice app

[unreal tinsel]

is pulse effects good

[prime wave]

i think. easyeffects may be better for pipewire sound

[unreal tinsel]

alr

[prime wave]

ok have fun. I'm out.

[unreal tinsel]

thanks

[ivory oar]

Most "must install"s are already installed.

• vlc media player, but also pull a lot of thing that helps with playing various formats,
• wine runs some windows programs,
• cpu-x cpu temperature and stats and stuff,
• foliate .epub format ebook reader,
• marker markdown editor and viewer,
• goverlay game stats and stuff, pulls mangohud,

if you do not have them already, maybe.

[dry radish]

Bottles ftw

Ptyxis is a nice terminal, not yet in the Mint repos though

Apostrophe is hands down one of the best editors I've seen if you're into markdown

Gnome Authenticator is quite the nicety too, if you'd like your verifications on your desktop and stuff (not on phones)

If you use Internet Relay Chat, there's Pidgin, Hexchat, and Polari

If you're into GTK related advanced stuff/development, Gnome Development Tools are pretty cool + Workbench

[mild compass]

Now you are just suggesting bloat to install lol

Who tf install google earth on pc lol

[ivory oar]

I have Google Earth Pro (it is free, just called that), it is nice
Also stay on topic, suggest something and or move on.

[mild compass]

Lol 💀

https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.mhogomchungu.media-downloader

This is really nice yt-dlp frontend to download music videos and audio from YouTube

[willow echo]

if you watch anime, ani-cli, if you play mc, java 8, 17 and 21, piper for configuring gaming gear, gimp, wine, speedtest-cli(dont remember if it is in the debian repos though), cpu-x(system info+benchmarks) and dialect for your translating needs

[mild compass]

ani-cli is kinda a piracy but okay

[unreal tinsel]

whats this

[mild compass]

@unreal tinsel

[unreal tinsel]

oh, is it better than parabolic, ytDownloader?

[mild compass]

Idk about that

But this is way better cause it can also download images etc.

[unreal tinsel]

images ? woah

[mild compass]

With different engines

[mild compass]

Literally any media from web that can be downloaded

[unreal tinsel]

[unreal tinsel]

[mild compass]
