I know most of you already know these apps or need something more advanced but I found them interesting so I thought I might as well share it here for those not familiar with them.

WARNING: one of the apps in the list (Plexamp) doesn’t appear to be open-source so use it with caution.

Why did you share YouTube redirects?
And why did you disguise them as direct URLs?

Interstellar_1@pawb.social on 11 Jul 2024 07:07 collapse

Sorry I just pasted them from the description, I didn’t realise they were redirect links

lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network on 11 Jul 2024 07:47 collapse

Ah okay, that makes sense!

My top 5 linux apps are probably something like:

  1. Firefox
  2. Kate
  3. git
  4. Steam
  5. ls

The list in the video should have been, “Here’s 5 maybe interesting apps for Linux”.

Such lists are meant to have new apps every time. Your approach makes them useless.

Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show on 11 Jul 2024 06:58 next collapse

Calling them “Top Apps” does not indicate new apps.

I find a lot of such lists useless in any case, since it really depends on your needs.

I’m with OC on this one. Maybe call it top apps of july. But since plexamp is old, it’s not a new app of july.

Sina@beehaw.org on 15 Jul 2024 09:35 collapse

Here’s mine;

  1. Also Firefox
  2. Bottles
  3. Geany
  4. Tilix
  5. Rofi

Wondering what these top 5 apps were, hit the link

Wtf YouTube commercial.

Go to hell.

You should do better. And I should read links before I try to access them.

Having read other comments, I don’t know or recognize any of the software listed.

You sold me on NOT checking the video out.

I prefer to use Piped links but custom APIs don’t work reliably anymore due to some YouTube side A/B bot check changes so I had to use a YouTube link instead. I expected the bot to create a Piped link in the comment for those who want it but it didn’t do it for some reason.

cerement@slrpnk.net on 11 Jul 2024 17:02 collapse

use an Invidious link (Piped doesn’t share thumbnails) and put both the Youtube and Piped links in the body

Interesting idea

Use AdBlocker my mono chromosomal friend.

EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee on 12 Jul 2024 22:42 collapse

What do you recommend? I’m using ublock.

helenslunch@feddit.nl on 11 Jul 2024 15:43 collapse

Wtf YouTube commercial.

Go to hell.

These videos wouldn’t exist without YouTube commercials.

gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world on 11 Jul 2024 16:15 next collapse

Exactly, then it could have just been a text list on a webpage and we’d all be better off.

helenslunch@feddit.nl on 11 Jul 2024 16:25 collapse

It wouldn’t have been anything, because it wouldn’t have been worth the creator’s time to make.

gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world on 11 Jul 2024 16:41 collapse

Damn I forgot no content existed online and could be profitable before YouTube came along and saved us all from the dark ages.

helenslunch@feddit.nl on 11 Jul 2024 16:57 collapse

It did exist. And still does. But it was never profitable. Especially not small scale.

EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee on 12 Jul 2024 18:31 collapse

Only because Google is become a blight on human progression.

There are better ways to make things profitable than wasting people’s time.

helenslunch@feddit.nl on 12 Jul 2024 18:49 collapse

Yeah you can pay for YouTube Premium 🤷

stuckgum@lemmy.ml on 11 Jul 2024 08:47 next collapse

Please just post a list. Hate these type of crap videos.

Magnolia_@lemmy.ca on 11 Jul 2024 13:49 next collapse

Y´all ever interact socially? Its a fucking video, dont watch it if you dont want to. Its entertainment informative content.

helenslunch@feddit.nl on 11 Jul 2024 15:41 collapse

Disagree. This is one of the times where a video is appropriate to actually demonstrate what the app does.

  • The video is a return to the creator’s previous “Top 5 Linux Apps” monthly series, which was popular in the past.
  • The first app highlighted is Boxy, a graphic design tool for creating SVG images and logos, with a user-friendly interface compared to more complex tools like Inkscape.
  • The second app is Eyedropper, a color picker tool that works well in Wayland environments and allows users to get color codes in various formats.
  • The third app is Iotas, a simple, GTK-based note-taking app with Nextcloud integration, focused on basic note-taking functionality without advanced features.
  • The fourth app is Plexamp, an electron-based desktop music player that provides access to the user’s Plex music library.
  • The fifth app is Sigil, a niche tool for editing metadata in eBook (EPUB) files, particularly useful for adding series information to support self-hosted ebook platforms like Calibre.
  • The creator acknowledges that Sigil has some quirks, working better in KDE than GNOME environments.
  • The creator encourages viewers to provide suggestions for future “Top 5 Linux Apps” videos in the comments.
  • The creator provides links to their social media and support platforms, including Mastodon, Odyssey, and Patreon.
  • The overall tone is one of enthusiasm for sharing useful Linux applications with the audience, while also acknowledging the niche nature of some of the recommendations.
