Poll about graphics free software we use the most between Inkscape, GIMP, Blender, and other. It is my first poll ever in all social networks and I didn't expect it to be a big success with hundreds of participants and a lot of reshares and likes. Oh, and it is still 1 day left to go.
My post about list of GNU/Linux distros we can follow at Mastodon showing a picture of Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, etc., and with hundreds of reshares and likes and replies.
My post titled Ubuntu 20.04 Graphic Design Suite with a picture of Akira, GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, etc. It was originally published on https://www.ubuntubuzz.com.
My post titled User Friendly Resources to Learn GNU/Linux with three pictures of getgnulinux.org, and trylinux.today, and flossmanuals.net websites.

Are you a teacher?

Please share what do you use at so we can exchange solutions.

For example, at my online course I use for myself and students:

- GNU/Linux
- LibreOffice Writer
- LibreOffice Calc
- LibreOffice Impress
(Open Document Format is mandatory for all)
- Firefox browser
- Jitsi Meet
- GCC
- Geany
- WordPress
- CryptPad
- F-Droid

If you love , please boost.

Jitsi Meet, an online video conferencing teachers should choose instead of Zoom or Google Meet.

@ChicoXXX hello, thank you very much!

I also am everyday user of @thunderbird. I wish luck and prosperity for the developers.

Your choices are exactly the same as mine. I also use and recommend it to other teachers.

and are two of my oldest free software. I even have a graphic design class alone with these two.

@ademalsasa What Software works with a pen and is able to edit PDFs?

Public
Ade Malsasa Akbar

@Trillion hello, in my experience since old times, I always edit PDF by its original document.

I always use LibreOffice Writer to edit ODT document and to produce PDF. I edit the ODT and then export in order to change the PDF.

However, if I need to edit the PDF instead, I use LibreOffice Draw.

I do not use pen tab, I am sorry.

Public

@Trillion @ademalsasa A pen is basically just a mouse to Linux, so whatever software you use to edit a PDF will accept pen input as long as it accepts mouse input.

LibreOffice Draw is pretty great for editing PDFs.

Inkscape and GIMP also work.

There are other applications, depending on what exactly you're trying to do to the PDF you're editing.

@ademalsasa Once I suggested something similar to my kids school... But some choices are only applicable where teachers are autonomous; but when in the school the IT department decided whatever, teachers must follow the directions no matter what.

There is not an easy escape from closed & cloud software... :flan_heckk:

@ademalsasa
I'm not familiar with CryptPad, but the rest of the listed programs I've used extensively, and they're great. It's good to see a teacher who shows students there are alternatives to proprietary software.

@ademalsasa you forgot:-
- VLC for playing videos,
- GIMP for photo editing,
- Blender for 3D/Game Development,
- Inkscape for Illustration

@ademalsasa

Do any of these sites review and report objectively? I'm so tired of hype-machine fanboi zines pumping press releases for pre-alpha code 😞

Public
Ade Malsasa Akbar

@lps no, I don't for my course. We don't have UI/UX design materials here.

However, for recommendation, yes I do always recommend to students. Especially, I offer students who use Figma to switch to it. Thanks for asking, my friend.

@ademalsasa I'm so glad to see the software you are teaching with, it's so important.

I suggest #Penpot since it can be used for so much more than UI and UX, including print, web design and more.

Modern Graphic Design has become more and more reliant on tools like #figma since they allow for efficient cataloguing and use of assets across different media, which is what #penpot is emulating.

Just a thought:) Have a great day!

@ademalsasa do we have a real FLOSS alternative to Google Classroom? Also anybody tried running their own mail server using FOSS in not-so-big edu institutions :)
