Linux Productivity Tools (2019) [pdf]
I do my development work and run most of my agency (with multiple employees) with Linux. For some of the business things that most people don't assume Linux can do, I use:<p>1. Xournal to annotate PDFs (aka sign contracts without printing them and scanning them back).<p>2. LibreOffice of course for most document related work<p>3. OBS Studio for recording webcam videos along with screen sharing<p>4. Audacity for audio editing (heck, I used this even when I was on Mac OS X)<p>5. Technically I've tried video editing with OpenShot, but do find myself back at Final Cut Pro X on my now 6 year old Macbook Pro for that for now<p>6. pdfsandwich and Tesseract OCR for OCR/turning PDFs into searchable files<p>7. Chrome/Firefox are both first class and run all the modern day web application stuff<p>8. Tons and tons and tons of command line stuff that Linux is well known for<p>9. QEMU/KVM for hosting arbitrary virtual machines with almost native performance<p>10. GnuCash for double entry accounting for personal and volunteer society finances. I used GnuCash for a while to run the S Corp accounting when we were on Freshbooks and Harvest, but we've since graduated to QuickBooks Online for better invoicing and CPA office professional services support.<p>11. GIMP for photo editing<p>12. Inkscape for messing around with vector graphics<p>Once you get past locating the tools to do your job. Linux has everything.
