Tell me yours, preferably open source
I'm looking for you new stuff, I want to replace Sumatra PDF and Musicbee

What do anons use to take photos of their PC, just the ingame screenshot or some third party one?

I heard those are not safe cause they're uploaded somewhere else, but I Imagine it must be convenient

Also does anybody use those game launchers that bunch up game launchers? how do they even work that cross platofrm stuff

>>16954
Idk if I was paranoid about my shitty ass screenshots getting uploaded my pc would be wrapped in foil already

>>16954
I use ShareX, it's open source, and ScreenToGif (also open source) for gifs/webms/etc. I think ShareX can take video as well but I prefer ScreenToGif a little more in that regard since it has an editor. Both great programs though.
https://www.screentogif.com/
https://getsharex.com/

>>16957
i did not know sharex as open source, nice
screentogif sounds awesome

there's no short video capture thingy for PCs really,

i was trying out lightscreen,

are there any open source FPs monitor programs, the whole riva tuner thing doesn't work without MSI's afterburner stuff

Anybody got a thing with which you can control your PC with your phone?

>>16993
termux + openssh

https://handbrake.fr/ Another video transcoding interface

>>16993
That's retarded

youtube-dl / yt-dlp + mpv (+ tor) = (anonymous) online media consumption from the terminal, faster and more stable transfers than from a web player

bash/python/c/… = they're some kind of "languages" that let you create your own programs somehow

>>17014
Nah, it's a brilliant idea if you find the correct (and secure) use case. Turn your phone into a remote for media playback for instance.

>>17012
>HexChat, which is dedicated to IRC
Hexchat's download page for windows is hilarious, they have a buy hexchat for $5 button on top and then download the free installer right below it.

>>16953
I just found out that neither mpv or mpc support browsing a blu-ray for extras

there is no king
all are fake

i downloaded this BDVM for nothing! I WANTED TO SEE THE EXTRAS

>>17029
>proprietary format doesn't work with a FOSS player
you could always rip the raw video files of the extras and convert them into an open format

>>17031
Proprietary software needs to be outlawed after the revolution

We will build a state funded CD format

I just gave up, I wanted L&T extras but the one I downloaded didn't have it


Time to join a private tracker
Also fuck all these HDR formats, I messed with VLC, MadVR, MPC-HC, MPV settings until I realized I needed a Dolby HDR Monitor

>>17027
I use the yt-dl fork now, It downloads faster than the og one for some reason, ytp-dl

>>17013
>handbrake.fr
how did i never notice that

handbrake, the best encoding software fr fr

>>17012
>GUI for FFmpeg
YES!!!

>Media Preview

Is this the best thumbnail making software or do I need to…?
I can't find any other

>>16953
https://babelsoft.net/products/mediapreview.htm

I found the official site for media preview, i don't know who babelsoft is but i've heard about them before

They make good stuff, Install K-Lite Codec if you want just .webms to have previews

But I like it when my TV show files all don't have the same thumbnail as well

>>17032
>ytp-dl
Thanks for tip anon

>>17172
ytp-dl
it only downloads youtube poops
do you think the new restriction with 4k, it'll still be able to download 4k stuff?

>>17186
Just found out about that, what a bullshit policy. You could try downloading stuff that's already under youtube premium like movies. If it works 4K ones propably will as well.

>>17186
What new restriction are you talking about? I'm still able to download 4k videos with yt-dlp

What are some good softwares to update my drivers? Driver booster is shit in every way imaginable.

>>17210

>>17211

pretty is subjective, which is why quod libet with a GTK theme that you like and a customized layout is best

If you're on Android poweramp is pretty great with luminous dark skin it fits pretty well with amoled displays.

Why is MS Paint so fucking good, and why can't a single FOSS programmer replicate its simple genius

MS Paint alternatives for Lin00x

>>18178
there's krita

EMACS

>>16953
htop lol

audacious
https://audacious-media-player.org/
finally free’d me from wine after replacing the last windows app i needed (foobar200, because of the vgm plugins)

>>25413
Krita is more featureful
MS Paint's beauty is in its simplicity and intuitiveness
These >>25412 are good

>>17012
I use PCManFM as my file manager
https://github.com/lxqt/pcmanfm-qt

Ratpoison. It just works. I find having a prefix key (like in Tmux) helps remember keybindings for some reason. Manual tiling is also the best way to tile because everything works just like I want. Ratpoison gets bonus points for being extra lightweight and easy to configure! Are there any other similar window managers/wayland compositors? Cagebreak is missing some features that I need (I can't remember anymore what exactly, since I haven't used it much). I also like emacs a lot! Also, some terminal programs that are useful for scripts include ripgrep, fd, gnu parallel, aria2c

>>28092
pcmanfm-qt rocks!

I also considered using Midnight Commander with libtrash alias (from Arch Linux wiki). It's a free software clone of Norton Commander.

>>18178
Have you tried Pinta?

>>17012
>zzzFM
What does it have over SpaceFM I know SpaceFM hasn't been updated for half a decade now but it just works for the most part. That has a gtk2 build in the aur but it doesn't have non udev mount tools as additional dependencies like SpaceFM. Pmount only works sometimes on SpaceFM. There's another fork which is actually maintained called SpaceFM thermitegod but it fucked up the keybindings adding more key chords also mouse support was also fucked on the AUR build but I don't know if it's intentional cause it works on some parts and those key chords seem to point that is has a more "keyboard driven" interface. zzzFM also hasn't been updated for a few years it seems.

>>16993
like an RDP client?

>>16993
termux
vnc stuff
rdp
kdeconnect
adb

How is honeyview compared to nomacs?
