Software recommendations for my needs
by WingZero from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZWK4)
Hi,
I am working as a software field support engineer.
So I need to investigate software issues, log files, software bugs, in the field and at my desk for a home automation product.
Previously I was working as a system admin in a windows environment , but because if this new job I am running Linux for 2 years now, did some distro hopping, Ubuntu mint kubuntu Manjaro (ran it for 1 year, kde) and now I have finally settled for fedora as my main driver.
And I was wondering if you guys have some software recommendations to make my fedora installation more practical.
What I use now
Mailspring (office365 for work email)
Vs code (my main editor)(vim for terminal editing, tried emacs, but it has a steep learning curve)
Tilix with oh my zsh powerlevel10k
I use grep and ack a lot (for logfile investigation)
I need to connect over aah a lot during the day to different Installations (I use just the terminal for this)
Brave browser for some cloud based interfaces
Slack
Microsoft teams
Mostly I use Google office suite (docs and sheets)(libre for offline)
Joplin (to keep track of email templates to dos and note taking
I write a lot of bash scripts to automate certain processes (I keep them in a folder synced with a git repo)
Gnome boxes for running windows and windows programs
Is there something that you would change? add-ons or extras.software?
I sometimes have a lot of terminals open at the same time and a lot of tabs in brave
What are your main programs to work with ...?
