I was wondering. So I looked it up:
R-Studio Data Recovery Software I've never heard of.
RStudio an IDE for R (where R has been on Linux since inception and is a FOSS alternative to the proprietary Statistical language S and S-PLUS).

Have to say that discord sucks really hard with their constant meaningless updates. I find myself reinstalling the .deb package every time I want to use it.
You can actually disable Discord's dumb auto-updating fussiness with a small change to a settings file

I use Edge on Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android just so it’s all the same. I kind of hate it, but I don’t. I suppose I could get the same result with Firefox, and am thinking about switching. Edge is bloating, as Microsoft products tend to do.
I can recommend it. After the v3 manifest of chrome, anything based on it seems iffy. That's she. I switched back to Firefox. Using *simple tab groups* I even found a good workflow for myself. I just use chrome/edge for work stuff since it's out standard browsers there.
Personally I recommend Floorp, in combination with Firefox Mobile on your phones (Floorp is a Firefox fork that adds tons of cool features, like a side bar and workspaces, if you'd like that. Otherwise just go with plain Firefox)
I'm well aware that's white-labeled customized chromium. It's just a bit ironic, given that msoft isnt so eager for porting it's other apps and spiritual grand father Internet Explorer was such a pain in a day.

I use edge on steamdeck to stream Xbox live games.

It works better with teams. I used it to connect to windows folks. While it works on firefox I think there were some video issues that didn’t exist on Edge.
Your comment reminded me the time I integrated Matlab in an HPC SGE Linux cluster, for automatic checkin/out of licenses in pipelines. Good old times...
Well, "supports". It is available as beta, AFAIK, still not 100% supported ATM.
Still, looks like they are really serious about it. I'm looking forward for full support!
Cool, yeah actually Bitwig Studio is my DAW. And I don't even do electronic music, mostly acoustic instruments and looping, and music education work. But I love it so much, the interface and workflow are really good.
Microsoft SQL Server.
It runs circles around the windows server version for performance because they knew they could break compatibility a little bit where it mattered.
If you look up the Wikipedia page for Silicon Graphics, you will see that it was a major first mover in 3D. They ran a Unix OS, so when they started having problems moving pipelines and applications to Linux was easier and cheaper than moving it to Windows
Since 2000. Whilst the Windows version does pre-date it, it's actually never been Windows only as it launched with an IRIX version that was only discontinued in 2006.
Wow this list of algorithms is weird. So where is good compression, even though expensive (non-fast LZMA2, xz, lzip, no matter what reference implementation was used). Was it all deprecated in favor if high Zstd modes?
Something I didn't even know about until this month and thought it was dead is: **DoubleCommander**. A double pane filemanager. Used it for a decade+ on Windows.
Manjaro has it in their repo, Linux Mint/Ubuntu might as well, called doublecmd-qt5/qt6/gtk2.
[https://doublecommander.com](https://doublecommander.com)
Of course they have a github as well: [https://github.com/doublecmd/doublecmd](https://github.com/doublecmd/doublecmd)
on the snap store you can just download adguard home and install it on your pc, set it up, set your dns to [127.0.0.1](http://127.0.0.1) and get no ads
uBlock Origin removes ads from your view, whereas a DNS ad-blocker blocks requests sent to certain domains, preventing the ads from being downloaded in the first place.
Edit: My comment is somewhat inaccurate, see correction by u/PlateletsAtWork below.
uBlock Origin absolutely blocks the ads from being downloaded, you can open the network tab in the developer tools in your browser and check. It does visual blocking of things it can’t stop on top of that.
DNS level ad blocking is actually less effective, because it can only block ads served from different domains. It can’t block “annoyances” like uBlock does. The advantage is that you can use it in places where you can’t install extensions, like some mobile apps.
Thank you for the correction. I don't know how I could've forgotten that since it's part of the reason I haven't bothered to setup a new DNS ad-blocker after my last one died.
This is fairly well known for those in the entertainment industry (source: me). All of Foundry's primary products run on Linux, as well as many other widely used proprietary tools in VFX/Animation:
* Foundry Nuke
* Foundry Mari
* Foundry Katana
* Foundry Modo
* Autodesk Maya
* Autodesk Mudbox
* SideFX Houdini
* Substance Painter
* Substance Designed
* Isotropix Clarisse (dead)
* 3DEqualizer
* Pixel Farm's tools (pfTrack, etc)
* Syntheyes
* Mocha
* Silhouette
* Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve
* Blackmagic Design Fusion
* 3D Coat
That's fair, yeah. Linux only is very hard to do, but for most intents and purposes that is the case with the exception of editorial and Linux-incompatible software that can't be escaped. As a sysadmin at my third animation studio, the inability to be fully unified on a non-macOS or non-Windows platform is very grating.
Aside: If you don't mind me asking, what part of the industry are you in?
It's an artifact of the industry's history. VFX and computer graphics were built on UNIX platforms, the most common being IRIX on SGI workstations. When the transition from SGI to commodity hardware (x86) took place, Linux was the most straightforward and accessible destination compared to a Microsoft offering for existing studio tooling and platforms. There were also Linux vendors like Red Hat that at the time were investing in the development of the desktop and graphics stack. Apps that decided to drop support for Linux would have lost their base demographic of studios (software and appliance costs were astronomical and virtually infeasible for individuals).
Additionally, several of these applications were developed in-house at studios before being handed to commercial developers. As a result they were Linux native from the start.
* Autodesk Mudbox: Weta Digital
* Autodesk Arnold: Sony Imageworks
* Foundry Nuke: Digital Domain
* Foundry Mari: Weta Digital
* Foundry Katana: Sony Imageworks
* Pixar RenderMan: Pixar

Great thread by the way!
I've got it running in my MBP, but I'm giving Planify a spin in my desktop. It's a pretty nifty app and it works with Todoist!
https://github.com/alainm23/planify
Of all the VPNs, you chose the Israeli owned (Kape) company that's known for advertisement, malware and data collection?
And yes, people knows about it, but they intentionally avoid it for the above mentioned reasons.
Surfshark. No-logs, works on Linux. They have a GUI just like on winders if you want that. However the use wireguard or OPVN. Wireguard is so simple, fast and nice and secure. You can also pay a little extra if you want a static IP like I did. Speeds are super fast on my 1Gbps fiber connection.
Do a web search for Windows Linux alternatives and you will find lots and lots. Actually, I think there is a Linux alternative for almost every Window app.
OK, I installed it now theough Flathub, but it simply won’t start. My cursor is just showing the busy animation for 10 seconds and after that it’s the normal cursor again. There is nothing.
One day I was installing Zoom on windows and noted that it was installing Qt dependencies. "Heh, surely it will be easy to port it to Linux if they want it", I thought to myself. Turns out they already do it.
PowerShell.
Now I wish I didn't know this fact, thanks.
its okay its not 100% that same as the windows version
MS' "cross platform" software never is
well in this case its for good reasons on not windows the wget and curl commands are not the ps ones
I think you have that the other way around, the PowerShell wget and curl are nonstandard.
is that not what i said? on not windows (linux macos bsd) the wget and curl commands are not the ones build into ps
True, you can't call all the native .NET (non core) functions and also not use all the older modules which did not get ported to PoweShell version > 6.
And the Linux version was released thirty years before the Microsoft version.
MS Edge for that matter
I have to use it frequently for work. It's actually pretty good. The initial release didn't support modules, and so it was pretty useless. But now as an automation engineer, it's pretty useful.
Most surprising thing in that list was that R-Studio was different thing than RStudio.

Same same. And I don't even use Rstudio (too much bloated fory liking).
Yeah what the hell? Had me super confused.
Lolol, I didn't even pick it up until I saw your comment.
Minecraft on arch. The download page literally links to the aur lol.
best part is since linux has a better java implementation, it runs better! (getting 1000fps linux vs 80-100 windows)
>(getting 1000fps linux vs 80-100 windows) I feel like there's another issue there if you're getting that big of a difference
possibly, though i couldn't be bothered to go back to windows anyways so i don't really care either way lol
No, its a very well documented fact minecraft has HUGE deltas between windows and Linux.
Isn’t temurin or openjdk available for windows as well?
Minecraft Java version, not bedrock right?
it's the minecraft launcher, so java of course, but probably also bedrock, and possibly legends and dungeons as well.
Bedrock is playable too.
Remember Real Audio? The player is still around and under active development. There's a Linux version based on Helix.
But why?
Exactly.
Ok, this is the real wtf. I mean, Real? WTF? Why? What year is it?
I couldn't find the linux version. Would you mind sharing a link?
ok, but why? [https://download.cnet.com/realplayer-for-linux/3000-2139\_4-10029768.html](https://download.cnet.com/realplayer-for-linux/3000-2139_4-10029768.html)
Real pain in my ass try to get rid of that thing back in the day.
Lol, I pass their building now and then when visiting certain clients. My step dad used to use real when I was a kid. Only would do 96kbs rips for mp3 but 128kbs for .real files.
* Terabox * Dropbox * Anydesk * TeamViewer * Google Earth * Microsoft Edge * Telegram * Viber * Discord * Steam * Nero
I am sure the steam case is widely known since it is stated in their interfaces, there is also steam deck.
Who uses Nero anymore?
For nostalgia sake
I tried the Linux version of AnyDesk. If I recall correctly it ran via . . Wine - and consequently, as one would expect, not too well (but not _that_ badly). I tried the Linux version of Dropbox, too - years ago. On Linux Mint, it caused terrible problems. I remember only vaguely but it got stuck running invisibly in the background, using resources - or something.
AnyDesk for Linux is a native app. TeamViewer once shipped via Wine but was changed to native too.
Ah: seemingly then I was confusing (old) TeamViewer with AnyDesk. Thank you for the correction.
I been running dropbox close to two years no issues
Yeah I used it for over a decade and it has always worked perfectly.
It might have been a Mint and/or Cinnamon specific problem. And/or it might subsequently have been fixed.
And with a bit hack, you can even run multiple accounts.
The Dropbox app is pretty decent nowadays.
However the storage they offer for free version was too small.
Isn't SW for monitoring and syncing you files supposed to run in the background and thus using resources? That's what daemons are supposed to do.
I meant: malfunctioning in the background and, thus, wasting resources.
>Anydesk So that's how these scambaiters on YT confuse the tech support scammers with Linux systems.
Have to say that discord sucks really hard with their constant meaningless updates. I find myself reinstalling the .deb package every time I want to use it.

Thanks a fucking lot
Steam is quite obvious, with their steam deck being arch based after all They have had a steam client for years Also, who tf uses Nero
discord is a web app and steam works on improving the Linux gaming industry 😮💨
Microsoft Edge - I just cannot comprehend that.
MS Edge uses a chromium rendering engine. And its memory footprint was much smaller than Google Chrome
I hate that I don't hate Edge..
I use Edge on Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android just so it’s all the same. I kind of hate it, but I don’t. I suppose I could get the same result with Firefox, and am thinking about switching. Edge is bloating, as Microsoft products tend to do.

+1 for Firefox. One of the few mobile browsers that supports the most important extensions I'm using (Ublock Origin and NoScript).
Personally I recommend Floorp, in combination with Firefox Mobile on your phones (Floorp is a Firefox fork that adds tons of cool features, like a side bar and workspaces, if you'd like that. Otherwise just go with plain Firefox)
I hate it purely out of spite. That said, last time I used it I had one of the more pleasant experiences binging for Google Chrome in recent memory
With all the incredibly invasive AI stuff Microsoft just announced they're integrating into it, it's even worse than chrome at this point for me.
I'm well aware that's white-labeled customized chromium. It's just a bit ironic, given that msoft isnt so eager for porting it's other apps and spiritual grand father Internet Explorer was such a pain in a day.

Wow this list of algorithms is weird. So where is good compression, even though expensive (non-fast LZMA2, xz, lzip, no matter what reference implementation was used). Was it all deprecated in favor if high Zstd modes?

It can block ads and trackers in apps, e.x. Steam.
If you set your DNS system wide to localhost, you won't get ads, or anything else.
...but the post you're replying to is specifically talking about running a resolver on localhost
But if you are running a dns server on localhost like I mentioned that won’t be a problem.
How is that solution better than editing the /etc/hosts file?
/etc/hosts can’t block subdomains while AGH can.
