Top 5 Linux Apps - July 2024
Top 5 Linux Apps - July 2024
I know most of you already know these apps or need something more advanced but I found them interesting so I thought I might as well share it here for those not familiar with them.
WARNING: one of the apps in the list (Plexamp) doesn't appear to be open-source so use it with caution.
Please just post a list. Hate these type of crap videos.

Y´all ever interact socially? Its a fucking video, dont watch it if you dont want to. Its entertainment informative content.
My top 5 linux apps are probably something like:
- Firefox
- Kate
- git
- Steam
- ls
The list in the video should have been, "Here's 5 maybe interesting apps for Linux".
Here's mine;
- Also Firefox
- Bottles
- Geany
- Tilix
- Rofi
Such lists are meant to have new apps every time. Your approach makes them useless.
Calling them "Top Apps" does not indicate new apps.
I find a lot of such lists useless in any case, since it really depends on your needs.
I'm with OC on this one. Maybe call it top apps of july. But since plexamp is old, it's not a new app of july.
- The video is a return to the creator's previous "Top 5 Linux Apps" monthly series, which was popular in the past.
- The first app highlighted is Boxy, a graphic design tool for creating SVG images and logos, with a user-friendly interface compared to more complex tools like Inkscape.
- The second app is Eyedropper, a color picker tool that works well in Wayland environments and allows users to get color codes in various formats.
- The third app is Iotas, a simple, GTK-based note-taking app with Nextcloud integration, focused on basic note-taking functionality without advanced features.
- The fourth app is Plexamp, an electron-based desktop music player that provides access to the user's Plex music library.
- The fifth app is Sigil, a niche tool for editing metadata in eBook (EPUB) files, particularly useful for adding series information to support self-hosted ebook platforms like Calibre.
- The creator acknowledges that Sigil has some quirks, working better in KDE than GNOME environments.
- The creator encourages viewers to provide suggestions for future "Top 5 Linux Apps" videos in the comments.
- The creator provides links to their social media and support platforms, including Mastodon, Odyssey, and Patreon.
- The overall tone is one of enthusiasm for sharing useful Linux applications with the audience, while also acknowledging the niche nature of some of the recommendations.

Wondering what these top 5 apps were, hit the link
Wtf YouTube commercial.
Go to hell.
You should do better. And I should read links before I try to access them.
Having read other comments, I don't know or recognize any of the software listed.
You sold me on NOT checking the video out.
Use AdBlocker my mono chromosomal friend.
What do you recommend? I'm using ublock.
I prefer to use Piped links but custom APIs don't work reliably anymore due to some YouTube side A/B bot check changes so I had to use a YouTube link instead. I expected the bot to create a Piped link in the comment for those who want it but it didn't do it for some reason.
I don't qet why so many downvotes, this was a nice video I discovered some good apps so thanks for sharing. I guess make it an invidious link next time to calm the fediverse elitists.
