omg! ubuntu

What is the most recent app you've installed?

No cherry-picking your favourites here - honest answers only! 😉

Let me know below ⤵

Mine is 'Mission Center' - a GTK4/libadwaita system monitor.

@vforberger @omgubuntu Never heard of this before, but it looks nice. I might install that myself.

@gmate8 The colour picking tool? If so, nice choice - I use that a fair bit myself.

If not, I'd love to know what it is!

@omgubuntu
redact (redact.dev/) - was cleaning up my old reddit & twitter timelines. No sense leaving that stuff behind for them.

Mission Center looks very pretty, certainly prettier than top/htop/glances/s-tui 🤣 - maybe a little too modelled on the Win equivalent but will take it for a spin.

RedactMass delete your tweets posts & DMs on 30+ sitesMass delete your Messages, Posts and Comments on over 30+ services.

@omgubuntu huh, looks neat, and awfully familiar 😉

@hacknorris There are other distros?! 😜

Take part anyway - I only mentioned ubuntu to be on brand

Edit: removed mentioning Ubuntu.

@omgubuntu @hacknorris in that case libXi-devel libXinerama-devel libXxf86vm-devel. Which tells you the distro as well :)

@omgubuntu most recent? ughh....
it was a library update, but one which isnt update is minetest although i didnt installed but i just use appimage :)

@omgubuntu if we're including servers, Tailscale so I could send an RPM to a server.

@omgubuntu Google Chrome (re-install), otherwise by newness it's prime note

@omgubuntu cpupower - monitor and change cpu power settings etc from the command line. Just because I saw it on a Chris Titus video and had never used it before 🙂

@mechatour Hadn't heard of that. I'll have to have a look in to it.

@omgubuntu NextPVR server. And that was an utter PITA because it's bloody dotnet and the installer didn't work and needed help, and i still had to make a systemd timer to restart it every morning or it stops being able to make recordings… (but all because tvheadend stopped working entirely on an update)

@StrangeNoises Not ideal at all. Is it all setup now though?

@omgubuntu Do CLI Apps count as well? For me it was ‚taskwarrior‘. I am using it as checklist/note-taking app while playing Civ6 or other games.

@jukey They absolutely do! I've heard good things about task warrior over the years.

@omgubuntu I think it was actually Chatterino...

@omgubuntu
It was either Falkon or GNOME Boxes

I can't remember which

@omgubuntu Parabolic (on Mint) but it doesn't download Twitter videos anymore :(

@GoatsLive Oh shoot, that's annoying to hear.

@omgubuntu gnome workbench, together with some other time that I hope will help to build a good libadwaita app :)

@omgubuntu screen. I installed it yesterday to access a serial console.

@omgubuntu Thunar, file manager, because Nautilus got slow recently 😬

@kommadieb Thunder is /blazing/ fast. I do enjoy using it when on Xfce-based distros.

@omgubuntu the sync client for nextcloud as rpm replacing the flatpak version.

@omgubuntu Well, technically VS Code (the non-flatpak version) on a laptop I just put OpenSuse Tumbleweed on, but I've used that for years too. So if we are going for sheerly "new" apps, then it's Whalebird for Mastodon.

@southernwolf Seen quite a few people mention Whalebird of late. I'm gonna have to check it out.

@omgubuntu It's pretty good! Depending on what front-end your Mastodon instance uses, it may be better or worse from a browsing experience (it's better than completely stock Mastodon from a UI perspective I'd say). But it does allow for desktop notifications, which is quite handy to have!

@omgubuntu
I just installed Empathy with purple-teams on Ubuntu
@ChrisWere

@omgubuntu JamesDSP (audio effects processor for #Pipewire) from #Flathub.

Graphic equaliser and bass boost working great for fixing sound of YT and #Odysee videos.

@omgubuntu Boring one, GNOME Maps. I needed to figure out if geolocation worked on my machine (it doesn't - at least not really, which explains why Firefox always thinks I'm at the wrong end of the country).

@omgubuntu     #DoubleCommander comes out with #AppImage snapshots about twice a week. Installed 1.1.0~10806 a few hours ago.

@pop_justy …and now I know what Gemini is.
