The most perfect Linux desktop software

Here's the perfect part of the Linux desktop environment so far. They are perfect because they are not only very eye-pleasing, but also use the best multimedia technology and have the best usability. In some ways, they have even surpassed windows and Mac-os.

Basic

Debian or Ubuntu. These two bundles are currently the most widely used Linux desktop operating system distribution packages.

Package Manager

Because we use Debian ... So apt must be the best one in the package manager.

Desktop Environment

This is probably the hardest one.

KDE4 is excellent, quite outstanding.

QT, built on GNOME, is also excellent.

On the other hand, the Gnome desktop is better than the desktop.

Moreover, many applications are basically based on GTK, and GTK is based on the GNOME desktop environment.

So, here we choose Gnome as the most perfect graphical desktop. For KDE, you can only be very sorry.

Shortcut Task bar (Dock)

Maybe you don't like docks, but it does make it easier for you to use the graphical interface.

Cairodock? Of course, very good.  What about AWN? Also good. They all have different very good features.

However, because we chose the GNOME desktop, the gnome-do is the perfect one.

Font

The Linux default font must be changed. You can get some pretty good fonts from Blambot.

Style/Icon

Here are some weird but amazing styles and icons that can be installed on your desktop. You can choose a few to beautify your desktop, indeed very good oh.

Working in such a beautiful desktop and background, your mood will become relaxed.

App Store (application store)

Have you already heard of this thing?

We need important Linux distribution packages that can be simply assembled and contain a "store" (a nice desktop app that users can easily purchase for commercial software and services).

Look at this. Click N Run. It does exist, based on Ubuntu.

Office Suite

This is probably the hardest one. The new KOffice is really good. But OpenOffice may be better, must be the longest, bug and performance in all aspects should be better.

Audio/Video Frame

Let us stand above the mountain and shout this saying: GStreamer is the King of kings.

Video Player

There is an amazing player called Miro (formerly known as Democracy Player)

If you have Linux installed it, then your Linux will become a cool desktop system, you can easily find and view the online video.

Multimedia Center

Windows has a Windows Media Center. OS X has front Row.

So what's under Linux? For now ... Almost all Linux distributions do not contain this type of application.

However, we still have some choices.

My choice is Moovida (formal: Elisa) it is commercially funded and uses GStreamer. It's more powerful than Apple's Front row. And, it looks pretty good.

Audio player

Banshee, see how simple it really is.

Yes, yes, I know. Amarok is quite good. And Rhythmbox is also very good.

But Banshee is better because it has been designed to give users more options to manage their music library. Because, when your audio file comes up, you'll find out how much you need to have such a powerful management feature player.

Audio Editor

For now, Linux is not very good in terms of audio editing, but we can still see amazing software like ardour, even though its functionality is not so powerful.

But you can try Jokosher. This is a very simple but more common audio editor.

Video Editor

PiTiVi. Commercially funded. An absolute advance. Can be used in GStreamer. If we compare it to imovie, PiTiVi is still ahead of the story ... However, if we focus on other critical applications, then these two editors will be hard to compete with.

Picture Manager

F-spot. Don't say more, you'll find out if you try.

Game

Almost all Linux distributions come with a bunch of games, and of course these games are rarely played.

Here are a few very good games that you should try.

The first one is Yo frankie! This game can show that your Linux is also very capable in game terms compared to other operating systems.

And the Hedgewars game is quite funny. If you have some Internet connection with a few, this game is also very funny.

Frozen Bubble may be another game of some meaning. You can go and try.

Chat

This field is definitely not Pidgin. Pidgin is out of the game.

If it's Empathy, it has a better design.

So, what about audio and video chat?

Ekiga? No.

Skype?

What did you say? Skype has no open source. Yes, we know, but Skype is one of the best in the show. Moreover, its user base is very large. including telephone interconnection, and cheap international calls.

Browser

Firefox, isn't it? No more explaining.

Email

Evolution is not just beautiful. It can also be integrated with the GNOME desktop.

Development Environment

Windows programmers have Visual Studio. MAC programmers have XCode.

Of course, there are many under Linux. Choose a very good development environment, we certainly need to have some standard rules. A "standard" is that development tools should be tightly integrated with the operating system and require a bunch of tools available to prevent programmers from reinventing the wheel.

There are too many such development tools under Linux. QT Creator may be the best, but it can only be used in the Gnome desktop environment.

So what is the easiest and most versatile IDE?

MonoDevelop.

Yes, I know someone said "Mono is a bad cuz of teh Microsoft." But if you do believe that, then you're not a professional programmer, and you're probably worried about things in many places.

MonoDevelop is a great IDE development tool. I hope you can try it.
