From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Trying to discover new/unheard Linux desktop programs (Sorry for the confusion).

Edit: I apologise for confusing a lot of people. I meant Linux desktop “programs” coming from Windows/Mac. I'm used to calling them “apps”.

Edit: 🙌 I’m overwhelmed with the great “programs” people have recommended in the comment section. Thank you guys.

What do you do at your job? As long as you don't work at an assembly belt in a factory, you will still probably get benefits out of it.

Examples:

Notes about colleagues or customers
Project ideas
Random thoughts
Writing down meetings and mails
And much more!

Mainly data entry. I'm writing bullet form (pro for Logseq) justifications that the QA uses to understand my ratings (the data entry aspect). I will occasionally work on the same task so I open up the original note and just add to it.

I know that I could use Logseq to link - [[link]] - the different task projects together (maybe). Something like Project -> individual task.

My notes look like this currently:

A: 

- some thoughts

B: 

- more thoughts

C: 

- this is bad

D: 

- this is good

I would then copy and paste all of that into a text box on our system (per task) where the QA can use that to understand my ratings of the task. My role title is Advanced AI Data Trainer, it sounds more impressive than it is. It's glorified data entry.
