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.

What Linux "Productivity" (ideally FOSS) tools do you use? (lemmy.ml)

I'm in a bit of a productivity rut and whilst I suspect the issue is mainly between the keyboard and chair I'm also interested in what (FOSS) tools there are that people find effective.

One of my issues at the moment is cross managing different workstreams particularly with personal projects which are more in the "if I have time category".

I'm interested in anything that helps manage time or limit distractions or anything that makes it easier to keep track of progress/next steps for project when there may be a bit of a time gap between.

Honestly Obsidian or a similar note-taking app is enough for me. It has a KanBan plugin if you like using that, otherwise just use bulleted lists.

joplin has allowed me to be a lot more flexible with managing and viewing my sheet music.

i converted my notes pretty easily and now i have access to them on all my devices.

I just wished Joplin would store notes as some kind of plain text, like Obsidian does. I've also been trying out AppFlowy, which looks kinda promising (and Foss), but it stores notes in a db as well.

@JoYo @zerakith #Joplin is my second brain. I store damn near everything in there. The only thing I wish it did better was tables.

Nextcloud, FreshRSS and KdeConnect come to mind.

[–] zerakith@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How do you use KDEConnect for productivity? I am currently planning a move to KDE Plasma from Gnome (when 6 comes out).

@zerakith @FriendBesto Answering text messages right from the computer is way faster for me. Or file transfers between the smartphone and workstation.

A combination of different.

For brainstorming Logseq is great, for tasks I use CalDAV in combination with Thunderbird and JTX Board (Android) a lot.
