Why I use what I use (software) - 2018 edition

Time changes people. But does it change software? Here's a follow-up article on my 2010 piece about my operating systems and software choices, including the primary motivations and reasons, like stability, long-term support, efficiency, future outlook, and more. Enjoy.

You only talked about OSes, what about your image viewer, PDF viewer, backup app, file sync app, monitoring programs, productivity, browser, games, etc.

 

That's (mostly) in this article: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-best-software-2018.html
I also wanted to be cosistent with the first article.

Enjoyed the read Mark, thanks - you know your stuff so it's interesting to get an insight into the backbone of your setup

 

I must say Linux looks kinda ugly. Can you perhaps also do a similar article for the Mac?

 

I could - if I used Mac ... there goes my wishlist for Christmas, soooo.
