Software on Linux Desktops

From The Maceys in California
Revision as of 01:59, 5 September 2026 by Lynn Macey (talk | contribs) (→Test)

This is the list of software that I use and/or is installed on my Linux desktop systems. It is hopefully fairly comprehensive. The overall goal is to basically to reduce or eliminate daily use of the Windows equivalents. In many cases, this involves shifting to a self hosted tool.

Since there is a lot of variation on what applications are included in Linux distributions, some apps listed as built in may need to be loaded from the software installation application or manually with apt from the command line. In some cases, the installation process involves downloading an installation package or script.

Many applications are installed and run through Docker using Dockge or Dockhand. The complexity of fitting and application into the current stack system varies, but is usually pretty straight forward.

In the tables below, the following tags are applied:

{{{2}}} Part of the original TrueNAS appliance project
{{{2}}} Added to the original Docker universe
{{{2}}} Tools outside of the Docker universe
{{{2}}} Installed but not checked
{{{2}}} Runs but not completely tested
{{{2}}} Installed but failing
title Planned, but not installed

Test

The Test stack contains applications that are working, but not yet placed in the organization below.
