I have things I don't like about it and Mozilla from time to time, but the program does what I need it to do, and it's not Microsoft or Google - win! I've used Firefox since I was a kid, on Windows then Linux - I'm 37 now! I still use Firefox. You can simply use or not use Snaps, just as with Firefox, so it's entirely up to you. How does the Firefox and Snap issue affect you? Because, I don't believe it will. the only other issue might be Firefox, if Fritz! choose not to support it, but I doubt it. The FreeFileSync program is available in Linux, it seems.Ī brief look online suggests Fritz! is an online game, so the OS should be irrelevant. Different doesn't inherently equate to bad. Just like Mac doesn't need to be Windows, Android doesn't need to be iOS, Firefox doesn't need to be Edge, etc. It's important to remember, what many of us stress: Linux is not Windows, and that is OK, because it doesn't need to be. This can trip us up when we've got a familiar and comfortable workflow. After all, it's a different OS, with different ways in which to perform those all-familiar tasks, and often different software to do so. For me, and for many of us, it's sometimes a difficult transition. I appreciate the frustration and the difficulty in making a more permanent switch. Or that I'm not able to run Grub customizer. Examples for more essential questions would be how to get PulseAudio to use high fidelity codecs like aptX. creating custom emblems, solid color backgrund in Cinamon?). For example regarding the three desktops to be able to make a choice (e.g. I will post my questions in more detail in separate threads. MS Flight Simuator is irreplaceable.Īpart from the software issues I'am engaged in, I hope to find solutions in this community for general issues and problems running Linux Mint. I hope FreeFileSync will run as dependable in Linux, this is absolutely essential.Ĭertainly I will not be able to run MS Flight simulator anymore, should I ever decide to engage with it again after years of absence. I'm pleased that the astronomy programm Stellarium is available for Linux, but I doubt if I will find an equivalent to the commercial chess programm Fritz!. The DJ mixing program Virtual DJ could be replaced by Mixxx in Linux, but as for now I'm not able to get it work with the DAC controlers I use. I look for a program which could replace Audials One to download youtube videos and music streams from conventional broadcast stations in best quality. ![]() Softmaker looks very good and I test this commercial program in Linux as well. I currently test Softmaker Office in Windows 10 not to be forced one day to use Office 365 or the like. I fear that will be the biggest hurdle in everyday use of Linux. I hope static websit creators in Linux will do the trick but I have to start by scratch in the learning curve. I need a WYSIWYG html-Editor like good old MS Expresson Web 4.4. I have to find out if Gimp can replace good old Photoshop 7, which is uncluttered and perfectly suits my humble needs in image processing, supplemented by and Thumbs Plus for quick small tasks, which could be replaced by XnView in Linux. Frustration still showed up, when I got aware of the Firefox / snap affair.Ĭurrently I try to find and test programs which enable me an everyday usage of my desktop PC and notebooks running with Linux OS as I 'm used in Windows which till now worked absolutely flawless from versions 3.1 up to 10. Regarding Linux I'm still confused if not to say annoyed by the multitude of distributuions and desktop versions and all the implications that arise from that. They especially know exactly what I have to like) Worst example are my Samsung smartphones running on Android. ![]() Additionally I feel more and more patronised by Microsoft in Windows and Office (though it seems that is a general trend in consumer products. I looked again for LINUX as I do not consent with Microsoft asking steadily for using an account and I fear with WIN 11 or later one would be forced to be logged in to MS permanently to run the OS. I'm now engaged in LINUX further than ever before and pleased with what I have experienced up to now. A big help was that I succeeded in running Mint Xfce live with a persistent USB stick on my various notebooks. After my first intermittent experiences in LINUX in 2021 which I stopped frustrated, I gave it a try again a few days ago. ![]()
