Commonly used and favorite apps

I noticed it's a bit dead here so instead of necroposting I decided to start a new thread, i'm just gonna shoot out some of my favorite apps that I use on a regular basis, maybe we could all find something new by sharing our favorite apps with one another... maybe... or maybe it will just be another list of apps everyone knows already. you never know

here's my list in no particular order of favor

tweetdeck desktop | twitter Skype | voip screen | virtual terminal multiplexer irssi | irc alpine | email deluge | bittorrent chromium | browser filezilla | ftp client subsonic | web-based media streamer boxee | media center recordmydesktop | screen capture vidalia | tor gui

acid rip Firefox of course Open Office 3.2 Movie Player 400 more on a 1.7 GHz Athlon dual core and 4GB of RAM ( believe it!) Does anyone live in the Springfield area?

I'd like to record my desktop but it always ends up with a lag in the recording. I've used recordmydeskop, istanbul, and something else - all with the same lag. Anyway, my list:

digiKam - great if you have a lot of photos. compiz and cairo dock - eye candy but not too much... hulu desktop - finally not lagging skype and pidgin - work together lmms - a home recording studio

Oh yeah - have you guys installed chromium or google chrome? Any good?

im kind of close to you im in joplin :):guitar:

I would avoid Chrome by Google. I found myself going back to Firefox. I think the stability of especially Ubuntu 10.04LTS leads to boredom which usually means exploring and trying something different until it breaks such as a Windows dual boot. If I had left my 10.04 alone it would have never crashed my computer (XP). Does anyone have the same experience with 10.10 that I did. FSpot was eliminated and Shotwell would not recognize most of my pictures that FSpot had no trouble with and several other programs I use as a normal user malfunctioned or didn't work at all. I am trying to learn programming using the learning path of a power user and building a skill portfolio of programs that I know. Any good recommendations? Windwalker:popcorn:

Windwalker:popcorn: I like digKam and showfoto. Uhh...I did an install for someone and now they're mad that they can't play yahoo games. What do I need (or thread to read) to do to get yahoo games working?

I like Minitube. It's a bit retro looking but it's helped me in many a YouTube bind.

Chromium - Browser, email, etc. Pidgin - IRC & IM Gimp - graphics Seesmic - SoNet
