This will be an open source software only machine.
I've always been Windows based so have decided to go for Mint with Cinnamon
distro as it looks like it will be easier for me to transition too.
Well, personally I prefer Xubuntu as I have had a few major upsets with
Cinnamon.
Apart from LiveCode Community what others Open source software would those
of you who are Linux based recommend?
E.g. best email client, office suite, ftp client, graphics prog, browser,
etc..etc..
1. Thunderbird e-mail client: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
2. LibreOffice 5: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/
3. I only use an ftp client on an ancient Macintosh: sorry.
4. GIMP for bitmap: http://www.gimp.org/
Inkscape for vectors: https://inkscape.org/en/
5. Firefox browser.
6. VLC for all video files.
7. Transmission for torrents.
8. Ubuntu Tweak for cleaning out the basement (works on all Debian
deriv. distros): http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
9. Simple Scan for . . . wait for it . . . scanning.
Also how is LiveCode doing with 64bit Linux, any problems or parity issues?
Looking forward to your suggestions :-)
Have a lovely time!
Richmond.
