OpenSource WishList
Martin Iturbide:
Hi
I was wondering the other day which software open source software I use a lot in other platforms and I came with this list:
- The GIMP. Photo edition tool
- To port this it is required to port GTK+ first which may be a lot of work.
- Inkscape. illustration tool
- Audacity. Sound recording editing tool
- Peazip. Archiver tool
- Notepad++. Text Editor
- OBS. Video streaming, desktop recording.
What other open source software do you like a lot and you use on other platforms?
Regards
Ian Manners:
The GIMP
Inkscape
Audacity
R (Statistics, 3-D and dynamic graphics)
I'm still happy with ImageJ under OS/2 which I also use under Linux (Java based)
roberto:
3D DRAW https://www.openscad.org/
2D CAD https://qcad.org/en/
saludos
Andreas Schnellbacher:
TeX live (recent version of the TeX typesetting program, successor to teTeX)
Kate (text editor)
and of course:
GIMP
plus any of the mentioned vector graphic programs.
(Roberto, I find QCAD very interesting since it claims to import and export DWG and DXF. An additional DWG viewer would suffice for me, because editing such a file with another program than the original one is never fully compatible.)
Dave Yeo:
Well as mentioned, the GTK toolkit would allow a lot of other ports to happen. On Linux, it seems that the interesting graphical stuff is linked against QT or GTK. Unluckily porting GTK might even be a bigger job then porting QT as at least QT was designed to be cross platform.
Wine, or rather merging in current Wine into Odin would also allow a lot of stuff to just run or be recompiled, even for GTK, it would be a shortcut to just use the Windows port, perhaps recompiled to be native.
