Apps I use with Windows that I would require for Linux.

Followers

December 14, 2025Dec 14

I've tried various Linux distros many times and do like Linux but I always have to revert back to Win 11 because I do daily work on my laptop, mostly with image and music files, and because I have all the apps I need installed on Win, it's just easier for me to stay with Win. However, if I could find Linux apps that did the same job then I could totally switch over.

These are the main apps I currently use with Win 11. Are there Linux apps that do the same job?

Ted Notepad (this app can handle huge lists, has case, lines & sort edit features I need)
PhotoFiltre (my favorite easy image editor, I use it to make album covers artwork and text)
Picasa3 (another excellent image editor I use daily to enhance photos)
Filelist Creator (I'm constantly making up file lists of music tracks)
Format Factory (mainly to easily convert various image files to jpg)
Ken Rename (to rename folder and various types of files)
Tagscan (to edit tags in music files)
dBpoweramp batch convertor (mainly to convert flac to MP3 at various bitrates)
Resize Pictures (a Win context menu, back click on images and can chose a preset resize)

Why not just write the code, and create your own Windows-alternative apps, the way you like it, for Linux?

Anything stopping you from writing your own code...AS YOU LIKE IT, for Linux?

But, just in case you might not know how.....

GUESS WHAT?

Gemini will, very easily, and quickly, be able to reverse-engineer any Windows-Garbage-App, the way YOU like it....

Maybe, by about 2028, June.

And then: What will be your excuse for not using Linux?

Time For Regime Change, In Israel.

BLMFem · yesterday at 01:37 PM1 day

I'm sure I'm not the only one having started off life as staunchly pro-Israel, but that have gradually been disillusioned over the years, and especially during the last decade. Back in the day, Israel was an easy country to root for and be sympathetic to, due to the horrors of the Holocaust and the fact that Israel was a democratic island in a sea of autocracies/theocracies. But Israel, under the rule of Benjamin Netanyahu, has become increasingly more violent, strident and nationalistic, increa

One in six sees Muslim population growth as threat, study warns

bannork · Monday at 06:48 PM5 days

A major new study has uncovered a troubling fault line in British society, finding that one in six people believe the growth of the Muslim population poses a fundamental threat to UK culture. Researchers warn that hostile attitudes towards Muslims risk becoming increasingly normalised, even as most Britons continue to support coexistence and reject overt prejudice. A Sharp Divide Beneath the Surface The report, produced by the British Muslim Trust and British Future, paints a mixed picture of i

Haverfordwest mayor forced to hire security after racist threats

bannork · 3 hours ago3 hr

The first Black mayor of Haverfordwest has been forced to hire private security guards after receiving racist threats, casting a shadow over what should have been a landmark moment for the Welsh town. Councillor Randell Thomas-Turner, 37, made history in May when he became the first Black elected mayor of the Pembrokeshire town. Just weeks later, concerns for his safety led him to arrange personal security for one of the area's oldest civic traditions. Historic Achievement Meets Ugly Backlash T

Couldn't find that Ver with my quick skim read check. My system version # seems to be 2025. My updates have mainly come from my visits to the BYD dealer. The mechanic hooks up his computer and updates my system. Last update was Google Maps and a heap of apps. No idea how the OTA updates and the human updates differ but having had experience finding an intermittent computer fault in a Honda I know that the information displayed with the human interface is extensive. (Forget the name of the car interface bus...OBD or something like that...still have the tester).

ikke1959 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Thailand News - Discussion

Foreigners coming to Thailand will pay for the debt and shortage of the Thai Government. Money has to come from somewhere and as the Government is not willing to reform and cut costs, the foreigners have to pay for it. The next that will be done is in a few months complaining that less tourists arrive, and make incentive to attrack more. They have however no idea waht they are doing. The too strong THB, the higher taxes for hotels in Phuket as example, the more expensive airport taxes, the looming 300 THB or more entrance fee... Go on Thailand, you will are already very expensive for tourists and will become even more, so less people are willing to visit you. Don't complain

Could You Ever Become a Sex Worker?

Alpha84 · 2 hours ago2 hr

Following on from one of my previous topics, I found myself wondering about this question from the other side. Could you actually do the job yourself? But before anyone starts saddling up their moral high horse, that is not what I am talking about. I mean practically. A lot of people look at sex work and see easy money. They see somebody earning in a night what another person might earn in a week or even a month or two. From the outside it can look like a very favorable arrangement. But I ha

unblocktheplanet · 4 hours ago4 hr

The ‘Rape Gang Report’ sponsored by Restore Britain MP Rupert Lowe, estimates that at least 250,000 mainly White British girls had been victimized nationwide since the 1950s. Now, we all know what Restore Britain is all about—racism, Tommy Robinson style. And then we have Russia Today, surely a bastion of free reportage. Hm, what might be Russia’s agenda for the United Kingdom, well, other than fomenting discontent? Let’s take 1955 as an arbitrary start year. That’s 71 years ago. Let’s do the

Who invented the Hamburger ?

swissie · 10 hours ago10 hr

I am losing sleep over it. The whole world eats them. Some say, it's the only culinary contribution the US has given to the rest of the world. Has it anything to do with the German city of Hamburg? Has it anything to do with Ham? Burger? In German, the word means "citizen". (Eating citizens)? Seeking enlightenment, I called the White House. The answer was clear: "The Hamburger was invented by Donald J. Trump". I found this answer less than satisfactory. But never mind, what comes from the ov
