Linux Alternatives to Windows Software

Ok, so I glanced through this list and noticed quite a bit was missing, so I am going to post my personal programs that I love, which will cover quite a few ones that are already listed, and others that arent.


Windows // Linux
MS Office // OpenOffice.org, KOffice (KDE)
Messengers // Pidgin, Kopete (KDE), LICQ (cli based)
DVD Copying // K9Copy (think Dvdshrink/dvd decrypter)
Itunes/Music // Amarok
Video // Kaffeine, VLC, MPlayer, Xine, Totem
CAD // QCad
3d Modeling // Blender
Programming // Anjuta, Kdevelop, Eclipse (Multiplatform, yay!)
Web Design // Quanta+ (Kde/QT Based), BlueFish, Screem
Cd Recording // K3B, Cd Record, XCDRoast, GnomeBaker
Finances // GnuCash (pretty nice, and can do pretty well on
importing quicken files)
Image Editing // Gimp
Image Manipulation // ImageMagick, gimp
Photo Album // DigiKam
Torrent // Azureus, Ktorrent
P2P // LimeWire, Frostwire (this is the same as limewire basic, NOT
pro)
Outlook // Kmail, Thunderbird (With lightning plugin, webmail plugin(s))



Ok, I think that is a pretty good start on it.

 

Thank you
.

 

Nice list, thanks!

 

Oooh, helpful =)

 

What are some of you LInux users using as alternatives to Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator? How do you rate the different applications you've used?

 

I don't know about InDesign or Illustrator cause I don't use those, but the Gimp for photo editing is quite powerful.

 

Yeah, GIMP is okay, but nothing rivals the power of Photoshop or the rest of the CS3 Suite, unfortunately...

 

Check out the "GIMP" for photo editing, "Scribus" for DTP, and "Incscape" for illustration.

 

I use Outlook for scheduling my day, set reminders and tasks to make and synchonize it with my SonyEriccson cellphone..is there a way to do this in linux??

Off toppic, mi key combination for adjusting LCD brightness doesnt work well in ubuntu 7.04 (Asus g1p) .. is there a way to fix this?

 

suscribing xDD

 

ive never used it before, but i believe evolution is a substitute for outlook (just click on the time and it will roll a calender down, then double click on a date. Or it is in the applications menu as well.)

as for the lcd, try ubuntu 7.10 maybe?

 

And of course, emacs could replace at least two thirds of the programs listed so far

 

Yeah.. i tried 7.10 too, i think im gonna give Mandriva 2008 a try..

I readed Somewehere that evolution does the same stuff outloom does.. ill try it bue.. i think the real problem is going to be the sync with the phone.. anyways Ill let you know what happens ´=)

 

What's a free presentation software that's a good alternative to OpenOffice Impress?

 

I am in desparate need of any help here. I want to get something for linux that is comparble to the following:

Fruity Loops
Propeller Head's REasons 3.0 or 4.0 and any professionally built digital recording software for the computer please help.

 

Hmmm, may want to add Inkscape, Clam/Klam AV, Time Vault, and Wine might go in as well.
Why not make this ''Linux Alternatives for Windows/Mac Software''?

 

2/3rd's? I always thought that Emacs was already a full-fledged operating system
