From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

MODERATORS
- The video is a return to the creator's previous "Top 5 Linux Apps" monthly series, which was popular in the past.
- The first app highlighted is Boxy, a graphic design tool for creating SVG images and logos, with a user-friendly interface compared to more complex tools like Inkscape.
- The second app is Eyedropper, a color picker tool that works well in Wayland environments and allows users to get color codes in various formats.
- The third app is Iotas, a simple, GTK-based note-taking app with Nextcloud integration, focused on basic note-taking functionality without advanced features.
- The fourth app is Plexamp, an electron-based desktop music player that provides access to the user's Plex music library.
- The fifth app is Sigil, a niche tool for editing metadata in eBook (EPUB) files, particularly useful for adding series information to support self-hosted ebook platforms like Calibre.
- The creator acknowledges that Sigil has some quirks, working better in KDE than GNOME environments.
- The creator encourages viewers to provide suggestions for future "Top 5 Linux Apps" videos in the comments.
- The creator provides links to their social media and support platforms, including Mastodon, Odyssey, and Patreon.
- The overall tone is one of enthusiasm for sharing useful Linux applications with the audience, while also acknowledging the niche nature of some of the recommendations.

Please just post a list. Hate these type of crap videos.
Y´all ever interact socially? Its a fucking video, dont watch it if you dont want to. Its entertainment informative content.
Wondering what these top 5 apps were, hit the link
Wtf YouTube commercial.
Go to hell.
You should do better. And I should read links before I try to access them.
Having read other comments, I don't know or recognize any of the software listed.
You sold me on NOT checking the video out.
Use AdBlocker my mono chromosomal friend.
What do you recommend? I'm using ublock.
I prefer to use Piped links but custom APIs don't work reliably anymore due to some YouTube side A/B bot check changes so I had to use a YouTube link instead. I expected the bot to create a Piped link in the comment for those who want it but it didn't do it for some reason.
use an Invidious link (Piped doesn’t share thumbnails) and put both the Youtube and Piped links in the body
Interesting idea
My top 5 linux apps are probably something like:
- Firefox
- Kate
- git
- Steam
- ls
The list in the video should have been, "Here's 5 maybe interesting apps for Linux".
Here's mine;
- Also Firefox
- Bottles
- Geany
- Tilix
- Rofi
