Software that you would like to have for Linux
What software would you like to be available for Linux? Not only alternatives to Windows soft, but also specially for Linux?

Re: Software that you would like to have for Linux
An application to update my TomTom navigation device with, because currently it's only available for Windows and Mac OS. For years, this has been (and still is) the only reason why I ever launch a VM with Windows 7 in VirtualBox.
Can't think of anything else. For the rest, the Linux ecosystem offers me all I need.

Photoshop or a decent alternative.
I would be quite happy if Gimpshop was still around. Gimp just seems to do things in unintuitive ways.

Rufus! Because I need an easy way to create GPT bootable USB installation media for UEFI machines and don't yet know how to do this with the tools in Linux.
Also as Pjotr said, support for TomTom as this will present a problem next time I want to update it, i.e. will have to put the hard disk with Win7 in whichever machine it came from and I've forgotten which one it was! It's been a while.

Re: Software that you would like to have for Linux
Have you tried the Mint USB image writer? It is what I used to create the bootable USB sticks that I used to install LM18 Cinnamon and MATE on my UEFI experimentation machine with a GPT HD.BG405 wrote:...I need an easy way to create GPT bootable USB installation media for UEFI machines and don't yet know how to do this with the tools in Linux.

A decent, free and full featured WYSIWYG HTML editor.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

Re: Software that you would like to have for Linux
I've used it for standard ones but don't remember seeing GPT options, I'll have another look and familiarize myself with it. As long as it does the job I'll be happy with it cheers!Reorx wrote:Have you tried the Mint USB image writer?

The machine I need it for at present is a tablet, it needs a FAT boot partition and NTFS OS partition in order to boot at all on the Linx7. Nothing else seems to work, shame as I haven't been able to get persistence to work using this scheme. Even then I have to put the "bootia32.efi" file in to efi/boot/ as it's 32-bit EFI, however I've had both 32-bit and 64-bit Mint live sessions working using this method. Subject for another thread though

Re: Software that you would like to have for Linux
For me it's Magellan. Ironic that most GPS's use Linux and/or other open source but don't have end user Linux options to interact with the device. But I don't use my GPS as much as I used to so no big deal.Pjotr wrote:An application to update my TomTom navigation device with, because currently it's only available for Windows and Mac OS.

The only program I truly miss in Linux is MediaMonkey. No media program in Linux I have found can be an all encompassing media program, so I guess I'd like to see something than can do it all.
Re: Software that you would like to have for Linux
free as in gratis or libre? Looks like right now you can't have both. http://bluegriffon.org/ is open source but to use all features a license must be purchased (but perhaps you don't need all the features). https://www.google.com/webdesigner/ is closed source but doesn't cost anything. All the other Linux native WYSIWYG HTML editors I know are long dead projects.Moem wrote:A decent, free and full featured WYSIWYG HTML editor.
Re: Software that you would like to have for Linux
Bluegriffon is most likely what I'd use if Dreamweaver did not work in Wine, which it does. I don't mind closed source, but I do object to Google Anything.xenopeek wrote: http://bluegriffon.org/ is open source but to use all features a license must be purchased (but perhaps you don't need all the features). https://www.google.com/webdesigner/ is closed source but doesn't cost anything.
PS There's SeaMonkey Composer. But it's not all that sophisticated. Works for simple quick changes, though.

Re: Software that you would like to have for Linux
To be honest: first and foremost the fact that I'm used to it. But if I had to name something that's not so personal: WYSIWYG. I'm helpless without that.Alexiy wrote: What features of dreamweaver are most important to you?

A simple video editor like avidemux, but which doesn't crash or get the audio out of sync.
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!

I'd really like the program that automatically adds money to my bank account.

Re: Software that you would like to have for Linux
Gaming software, and a lot more of it. Frostbite Engine 4 and Battlefield 1 anyone? Or maybe some more racing games? Perhaps porting newer Call of Duty's over. They're not all bad, . I've always liked shooters, so rainbow six siege would possibly be a fun one. Really anything with a great deal of destruction. So Red Faction Guerrilla would be nice too.
But, as we all know, none of this will ever happen... So I will keep dreaming. Or buy a PS4.

Re: Software that you would like to have for Linux
Worms Armageddon would be nice, used to have hours of fun with it. Not sure where the CD is but can probably find a copy online and try it in WINE (which at the time of writing this I have never used) - it might even work OK on the netbooks using this method. Something to investigate, maybe tonight if I find the CD.
