Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

I'm surprises no one has mentioned the ones I use most days.

  • git (version control software development)
  • openssh (for ssh connections to other devices)
  • handbrake (video transcoding)
  • Element (matrix client)

    I literally had to run the windows version of handbrake in virtual box because for some reason the linux version can't save to the same directory as the input files while batch processing.

    basically the same otherwise, fine for single files.

    I've had no issues saving to same folder as source when doing batch transcoding queues on Arch Linux. As long as the input and output files does not have the same filename it's fine.
