      Atom is nice find! You should really take a second look at boxes! It's wonderful! 🙂

        I live in a shell, so all the things I use every day are all command line based.

        • nano - text editor
        • glances - system performance information, cpu, memory, block throughput, network throughput, and sensor information (temp mostly)
        • vi/vim - text editor, have to have it, but don't like it
        • mutt - email reader

          How does glances compare to netdata? https://github.com/firehol/netdata

            You live in a CLI shell, I live in a GUI shell 🙂

              glances does the same thing, but only for the one system. So if you need to manage lots of things, netdata is better!

                  Good on you. Too bad you chose Fedora though 😛 I have a tri boot with 2 Win10 and one Mint, default to Mint, which i will probably nuke and replace with Kubuntu

                      Still easy mode, he has nano. I don't even have nano.

                        @scottalanmiller Have you used boxes? Very impressive.....

                        Use VirtManager. Boxes is way limited. I can control everything with VirtManager running on my Chromebook.

                        • Atom
                        • Gimp
                        • Inkscape
                        • Audacious
                        • Backintime
                        • Remmina
                        • Cockpit
                        • Tmux
                        • Ansible
                        • Chrome (for Netflix and such)
                        • VLC
                        • Pithos

                        No particular order here, just stuff I have.

                        If you really want to be focused, use i3 instead of a full DE.

                          Very similar to what I use, other than XAPI and various RDP clients.
                          I also like Midnight Commander and ZSH instead of FISH.

                            No, I looked at it very briefly and it seemed a little neat but there was something that it didn't do and it just didn't have anything that I wanted. I use VirtualBox when I need VMs on Linux.

                            Why use VirtualBox when you have the much more capable and performant KVM included in any distribution?

                              Tried both. One worked great. One did nothing.

                                I use KVM all of the time on mine and it's great. Not sure what your issue is.

                                    Ah I thought you meant KVM. Ya I used it once and was not impressed. I stick with VirtManager and virsh.

                                      How long ago with that? I am still super impressed with it, but I wonder if a lot has changed since you lasted tried it.

                                        The move to Linux has been on my mind for about a year now. I am doing more on that platform (notice I didn't call it an OS). There are some things that I am still unsure about, but as I am just getting the day on, can't think of right off the time ...

                                        In looking over the day's tasks, both NTG and personal, nearly all I do is web based; Screen Connect, Tickets, research etc - all done via Chrome, Firefox and Chromium.

                                        There is a few applications I uses that are Windows based, but there are similar Linux Based versions, so I can function.

                                        I've used:

                                        • Gimp
                                        • VLC
                                        • Pithos
                                        • x2GO

                                        Hve to look at the other applications.

                                          Ah I thought you meant KVM. Ya I used it once and was not impressed. I stick with VirtManager and virsh.

                                          How long ago with that? I am still super impressed with it, but I wonder if a lot has changed since you lasted tried it.

                                          So the last time I used it you couldn't add a second drive to the VM, let alone set any caching prefs, add devices, or do device passthrough.

                                            I'm also pretty sure you can't choose what it stores the images, unless you have Virt-Manager set up also. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of it.
