Apps and their replacements
macOS | Linux | Comment | Photos (iPhoto) | digiKam | Make sure you add the face recognition plugin and write the tags back to the files. | Music (iTunes) | Lollypop, Rhythmbox, Audacious, | My favourite is Rhythmbox, the Interface is the most simple and iTunes-like. | Safari, Firefox, Chrome | Brave | Jean-Paul, what happened to [Cliqz](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliqz)? | QuickTime Player | VLC | Add h.264 codecs! | Omnigraffle | LibreOffice Draw | Not as cool, but free and compatible with the rest of the world! | Pages, Numbers, Keynote, MS Office | LibreOffice | Even M365 supports LibreOffice-Documents - who would have known that MS is capable of that… Anyway. LibreOffice works with Pages and Numbers documents just fine! | Mail, Thunderbird | KMail/Kontact PIM | No solution for M365-/Exchange accounts (w/o purchasable plugins)! | KeePass XC | Just store your KeePass XC-Database in Nextcloud-Files. If you're ambitious think about setting up a Bitwarden server. | iCloud | NextCloud | Hint: Floccus is great tool for syncing bookmarks, and there's a great Outlook-Plugin to sync if you're forced to work with Windoof at work… | Finder | Dolphin | Merlin Project | ? | ? | TextMate | Kate, Geanie | Books | Why was there a dedicated app for the job? | VMWare Fusion | Virtual Machine Manager, QEMU/KVM, libvirtio | Not as slick but works just as fine! | Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo | Gimp | I can't believe I paid for that functionality before! | Cyberduck | FileZilla | Okay, FileZilla has a crappy UI, but it does the job; and we are techies, so using a CLI-based ftp-client should not be an issue… | OpenSCAD | OpenSCAD | Just the same on Linux. | Cura | Cura | Just the same on Linux. | Fritzing | Fritzing | Just the same on Linux. | GraphicConverter | ImageMagick | WireShark | WireShark | Just the same on Linux. | yEd | yEd | Just the same on Linux. | Sequel Pro, DBVisualizer | DBeaver | Yet another Eclipse-based Database Manager. | Linkinus | HexChat | IRC, for you WhatsApp-fools! | iMovie | Kdenlive? | <https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Videobearbeitung/> |
