Isn't R-Studio an IDE for the R programming language?
This is a fantastic list, thanks so much ♥
Bookmarked, thank you for your work here.
I have Greenshot on my Windows work machine, or should not be listed as Linux only.
There are a few others that I definitely will be looking into, so thanks again. Unfortunately my work is going to change to a Mac so I may have to find an entirely new list soon.
Wait, is 7zip not available on Linux? Then what have I been using??
xz
comes with most linux distros nowadays and uses the same compression algos as 7zip, and works very similar togzip
p7zip. TIL it is not official! Damn.
In general I like your list, but you should not recommend uTorrent to anybody for several reasons, they have pulled a lot of bullshit before, they have ads, and they possibly might be giving feds a back door, but I can't prove that by any means.
Fair enough, but considering the possibilities and the shitty things they've verifiably done, knowing that QB is available on both, it just seems like a bad idea to recommend uTorrent.
No, and I appreciate your efforts, it's a good list but that one entry caught me off guard.
Your File Manager list is sorely missing Krusader and Total Commander. ;)
EDIT: and Sublime Text runs native on Linux (and I do believe there is a Mac version)
Very true. i3 users would get half of KDE when they install Krusader. For a KDE User it's pretty cool to have the same settings and bookmarks across Plasmahell, Dolphin, Krusader and Konqueror.
I don't think I agree here. But maybe I have been using TC too long (since Windows Commander for Win 3.1). V 11 brought many cool new things. I don't think I can use a Windows box at all without it anymore.
Sublime even has their own repos for various distributions. You may still install and evaluate it for free but it requires a paid license to use. The only limitation is a nag screen though. Like it's been since Sublime2.

Other editors are catching up quickly. The coolest Sublime feature now is their Plugin repository.
I actually used DC for a while on my Arch box at work. I found it not there yet and went back to Krusader. It's been a while maybe it's become a lot better. I'll check it out again.
I also have to use and administrate Windows for work, so yeah: knowing both can be a blessing and a curse (mostly me cursing at Server 2022).
Haha, we have only a handful of PCs that upgraded to Win11 so far. I think it's just as bad as Win10, maybe better than Win10 18H2 and earlier apart from the UI.
For totalcmd: Viewer than can easily search an 8GB binary file at the speed of the disk, switched seamlessly between UTF-16, ASCII, HEX. The whole Search feature now integrated with Everything. Multi-Rename with Regex and or renumbering. Treeview that can be enabled or disabled for one or both panes. Copy/Move queue with speed limiter and pause. Tab management for sorting and removing duplicates. History of most frequently used directories. Integrated wget (via the FTP-URL button). Fast image gallery view. That's what comes to mind that didn't work or not as well with DC.
Maybe also work in DC: Plugins for NTFS streams, WebDAV (windows default implementation sucks donkey balls), SCP. I even used it for burning CDs back under XP.
thnx, very usefull! Small remark: Okular has a Windows package.
Guess I'm nobody
Dont know, didnt compare them much. I ignored Calibre untill now because it seemed primarly for e-books which I dont have. Sumatra seems not available for Linux. And I am on dual boot but prefer the same apps for both Win11 as Deb12
Thank you for this! I'm using KDE Connect and ShareX now. Both are amazing
