Aus der Dlf Audiothek | Weltzeit

Wassil Tersiev ist Bürgermeister der bulgarischen Hauptstadt Sofia und Hoffnungsträger. Mit der Softwarefirma Telerik wurde er reich und gilt als Vertreter der innovativen IT-Branche, die Bulgariens Politik erneuern und demokratischer machen will.

There were some questions lately about favorite software products. And I thought, I add mine.

I am in the process of migrating my wife’s PC to Linux. I like tinkering a bit, but am in a position where I am willing to pay money to have a good user experience and spend less time, because things „just work“. I bought Affinity Publisher recently after some testing, because it has a nice workflow to create print products like Christmas and birthday cards.

Software on my list is:

• Steam and Games capable running on Linux
• Only Office

I have been using Linux on and off from the first shipped CDs from Ubuntu. Nowadays I mainly use OS X, because my employer provides us with MacBooks I can use in private and I like the UNIX base and I do not have to tinker to get things to work.

I just set up an old Thinkpad for my kids to start their digital journey with Linux Mint and am considering switching my private stuff to a separate computer.

What I really love about OS X is the consistent usage of alt and the command keys. It basically follows the concept: „you want to do something, press Command + …“ and „you want an alternative character? Press alt + …“.

My experience is that Linux key usage was inspired by Windows at first and Windows did not have a Command key.

Would it be hard to get the same behavior as on OS X with a Linux system?
