Wait, is 7zip not available on Linux? Then what have I been using??
xz
comes with most linux distros nowadays and uses the same compression algos as 7zip, and works very similar togzip
p7zip. TIL it is not official! Damn.
Isn't R-Studio an IDE for the R programming language?
This is a fantastic list, thanks so much ♥
Bookmarked, thank you for your work here.
I have Greenshot on my Windows work machine, or should not be listed as Linux only.
There are a few others that I definitely will be looking into, so thanks again. Unfortunately my work is going to change to a Mac so I may have to find an entirely new list soon.
In general I like your list, but you should not recommend uTorrent to anybody for several reasons, they have pulled a lot of bullshit before, they have ads, and they possibly might be giving feds a back door, but I can't prove that by any means.
Fair enough, but considering the possibilities and the shitty things they've verifiably done, knowing that QB is available on both, it just seems like a bad idea to recommend uTorrent.
No, and I appreciate your efforts, it's a good list but that one entry caught me off guard.
thnx, very usefull! Small remark: Okular has a Windows package.
Guess I'm nobody
Dont know, didnt compare them much. I ignored Calibre untill now because it seemed primarly for e-books which I dont have. Sumatra seems not available for Linux. And I am on dual boot but prefer the same apps for both Win11 as Deb12
Your File Manager list is sorely missing Krusader and Total Commander. ;)
EDIT: and Sublime Text runs native on Linux (and I do believe there is a Mac version)
Very true. i3 users would get half of KDE when they install Krusader. For a KDE User it's pretty cool to have the same settings and bookmarks across Plasmahell, Dolphin, Krusader and Konqueror.
I don't think I agree here. But maybe I have been using TC too long (since Windows Commander for Win 3.1). V 11 brought many cool new things. I don't think I can use a Windows box at all without it anymore.
Sublime even has their own repos for various distributions. You may still install and evaluate it for free but it requires a paid license to use. The only limitation is a nag screen though. Like it's been since Sublime2.

Other editors are catching up quickly. The coolest Sublime feature now is their Plugin repository.
I actually used DC for a while on my Arch box at work. I found it not there yet and went back to Krusader. It's been a while maybe it's become a lot better. I'll check it out again.
I also have to use and administrate Windows for work, so yeah: knowing both can be a blessing and a curse (mostly me cursing at Server 2022).
Haha, we have only a handful of PCs that upgraded to Win11 so far. I think it's just as bad as Win10, maybe better than Win10 18H2 and earlier apart from the UI.
For totalcmd: Viewer than can easily search an 8GB binary file at the speed of the disk, switched seamlessly between UTF-16, ASCII, HEX. The whole Search feature now integrated with Everything. Multi-Rename with Regex and or renumbering. Treeview that can be enabled or disabled for one or both panes. Copy/Move queue with speed limiter and pause. Tab management for sorting and removing duplicates. History of most frequently used directories. Integrated wget (via the FTP-URL button). Fast image gallery view. That's what comes to mind that didn't work or not as well with DC.
Maybe also work in DC: Plugins for NTFS streams, WebDAV (windows default implementation sucks donkey balls), SCP. I even used it for burning CDs back under XP.
Thank you for this! I'm using KDE Connect and ShareX now. Both are amazing
