A small comment..Isn't Bloom more of a Photoshop alternative than an Illustrator alternative...

I would also add:

Also Abobe lightroom -> Darktable

227

If using LibreOffice I'd make sure to have access to Microsoft Office if you're using macros. Compatibility is iffy and can cause rather exciting results if something breaks.

228

I want to point out that Blender is a suite in and of itself.

You can use it strictly as a Non-Linear Video Editor (what Premiere is) if you wanted.

229

Any suggestions for music player/manager? Audacious and rythmbox don't have the features like winamp.

Something to organize my library stored on a server. At minimum something to manage playlists, write to portable devices like USB and manage id3 tags.

I think you can use Winamp on Linux with wine. It has a gold rating on winehq https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5

231

Winamp hasn't been updated in 3 years

232

Some people still enjoy the latest version

233

Give clementine player a try.

try Banshee or Exaile

235

You could also argue to use it as DigiKam or Shotwell replacement in many ways.

236

Yeah indeed..

237

I don't remember, but I think Foobar2000 can do that, and it's supported by WINE.

238

I've tried just about every Linux music player out there in the last couple years, since I stream from my media server to remote boxes I've come to like Sayonara the best....it might be worth a look.

Love LibreOffice; simple, clean, free. the UI isn't as "nice/polished" looking as MS Office but it has all the functionality that I need to run the business.

Lollypop is a cool music player. Looks great too.

241

hate to break it to you but we already have a massive list for this.

edit: @Eden @Zavar @MisteryAngel , could we do a merge?

ty for the merge mods <3

I could tell you my programming setup between a laptop(linux) and a desktop(linux). Nothing fancy but just the applications of the tools most CS majors should know.

One for networking utilities is speedtest-cli
Does what it says on the tin. I use it all the time.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet but don't forget the Pithos client for Pandora. It takes advantage of a couple holes in the Pandora API. Such as infinite skips.

This is a small one but still worthwhile.

To anyone looking for some minimal and useful programs.
Video: MPV, the fastest and probably one of the best video viewers on Linux.
