For future Application Appetizer shows on Linux Saloon, I am interested in some suggestions from the community. What apps are the kids into these days on Linux? Is there anything in particular that you enjoy using that you think the world should know about? Put it here on this thread. I can’t wait to try out some new and interesting stuff.

I was recently looking for a good markdown editor and Noah pointed me to Obisdian. I ran it and Joplin. But, after a just a couple of hours Joplin was removed in favor of Obsidian.

graph TD;
	KVM-->VM-1;
	KVM-->VM-2;
	KVM-->VM-3;
	KVM-->VM-4;
	KVM-->VM-5;
	KVM-->VM-6;

Some of the characters aren’t shown above

Looks like this:

I’m using this to document python scripts, but there are many uses.

I found an older cli radio player called pianobar. Easy setup, requires a (free) Pandora account though. Ad-free radio from the cli, love it. :slight_smile:

VERY interesting. I use Dia locally or sometimes LibreOffice Draw for such things but this is pretty dang slick
