Must have Linux tools for developers

 Hola amigos!

Hope you all are fit, healthy, and fine. In my previous post, I shared my personal experience of switching to Linux from windows. It was a really fantastic experience. In today's post, I will be sharing. 

1. Unity Tweak tool

This tool is recommended to the ubuntu-users so that they can configure the system in the way they want. Some of the features of the unity tweak tool are the configuration options like desktop hot corners, theme and icon customization, icon size, workspace number, colors, and a lot of amazing features.

command: sudo install unity-tweak-tool

2. Google Chrome

Even if you switched from Windows to Linux, you must have used google chrome on windows earlier. Google chrome is the best browser and that too without any doubt. 

3. VLC Media Player

VLC is the best cross-platform video player. It has a really clean and nice user interface. 

Command: sudo apt install snapd

sudo snap install vlc

4. GIMP 

Here you need to know that you cannot use Adobe tools like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator on Linux. So the best alternative to this is the Linux GIMP. 

Command: sudo apt-get install gimp

5. Visual Studio Code or VS Code

This is the favorite tool for all the developers out there. It has an out of the box integration with git. It is flexible like the sublime text. It has a great UI like the atom.  I will share the commands to download both the vs code and the sublime text

the command for vs code: sudo apt install snapd

sudo snap install code --classic

the command for sublime text: sudo snap install sublime text --classic 

6. Peek 

Peek is used to recording your screen and convert them into gifs in no time. It is beautifully designed, has a lightweight, and very easy to use. You will really love this utility. 

command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:peek-developers

sudo apt update

sudo apt install peek

7. MOC (Music On Console)

Run your favorite music from the ease of console location. MOC is a lightweight tool that allows you to play songs natively by simple console commands. 

command: sudo apt-get install moc moc-FFmpeg-plugin
