  1. For those wondering about what to replace Solidworks with. There is FreeCAD. Which has similar features, but like most of these alternatives, it may take some time to get used to. But hey, it does mean you won't have to pay that expensive fee every year.

  2. 01:35 Replace Obsidian with LOGSEQ
    03:49 Replace Notion with AppFlowy or AnyType
    06:40 Replace Teams and Slack with Mattermost
    07:51 Replace Trello with Focalboard
    09:24 Replace Acrobat Pro with LibreOffice Draw
    10:33 Replace Visual Studio Code with VSCodium
    11:47 Other alternatives: Replace Office365/Google Workspace with NexCloud – Replace Outlook with Thunderbird

  3. I know most Linux distro's come with some sort of PDF document viewer of some kind pre-installed, but for those with old Windows PC's looking for a PDF viewer that isn't as resource intensive as Adobe Acrobat Reader, you could give SumatraPDF a try. Reminder, it is just a PDF viewer, you can't edit PDFs with this app.

  4. I wouldn't really change Obsidian with Logseq. Logseq isn't as extensive and customizable as Obsidian, and Obsidian works locally anyways if you have your own solutions for the synchronization of the vault. It lets you do that. No one has access to my files, and it's free. There's no problem with it that I can see.

  5. I am amazed how many open source apps don't come in portable form. What is wrong with devs? I tried Logseq, and not only did it not come in portable form, it installed automatically without asking me for an install path.

  6. The software discussed in the video includes the following:

    GIMP (alternative to Photoshop)

    Krita (alternative to Photoshop)

    LibreOffice (alternative to Microsoft Office)

    Thunderbird (email and calendar client)

    Obsidian (note-taking and knowledge management)

    Logsack (alternative to Obsidian for note-taking)

    Notion (note-taking and productivity app)

    App Flowy (open-source alternative to Notion)

    AnyType (open-source alternative to Notion)

    Mattermost (self-hosted alternative to Slack and Microsoft Teams)

    Focalboard (project management tool)

    Inkscape (PDF editing tool)

    LibreOffice Draw (PDF editing tool)

    Visual Studio Code (VS Code) (development environment)

    VS Kodia (version of VS Code)

    Nextcloud (alternative to Office 365 or Google Workspace)

    Tuxedo (manufacturer of Linux laptops and desktops)

  7. If you’re worried about app compatibility when switching to Linux, there’s a simple and highly effective solution that most people overlook: run Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC in VMware Workstation on any Linux Distribution. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC is official, lightweight, free of bloat, and avoids forced updates, making it perfect for a VM. Plus, with VMware’s 3D graphics acceleration, Full GPU passthrough, USB passthrough ( means virtual machine can use GPU and USB ports ) and full peripheral support, you’re not emulating, you are virtualizing and you’re running Windows with near-native performance , it’s as good as running native windows in every aspect. Use Linux for everything that runs well natively and with wine , proton etc —many apps and games do—but whenever you hit a roadblock with a Windows-only program, just fire up the VM. This way, Linux stays your main OS, and Windows is only there when you absolutely need it. No more dual-booting headaches or compatibility fears—just a seamless, efficient workflow where your day is never ruined by software limitations.
