![]() Liferea – There are a number of solid RSS readers available for Linux Mint users. I’m also pleased to see such a strong focus on the Linux branch of the software as it definitely fills a need for users such as myself. Linux Mint users will also find the ability to setup customized profiles and scenes is super-simple. OBS allows its users to handle multiple webcams, Xcomposite captures, input/output audio capture, plus oodles of other media sources. Then I started running OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). OBS – Previously I had to use multiple applications to capture my desktop while also capturing my Google Hangout sessions. With proxy editing, configurable shortcuts, it’s not difficult to see why running kdenlive on your Linux Mint install is a natural fit for your video editing needs. And compared to other editors, this feature is rarely needed. Perhaps most importantly is that if I do manage to crash the software, the backup feature will make sure my video restores from the point it crashed. Keyframing, effects, hardware support for Blackmagic and Leap Motion shuttle controls are just a few of the features that set kdenlive apart from other editors. That said, my most resounding recommendation remains kdenlive. Kdenlive – Linux Mint is capable of using any made for Linux video editing software available. Additionally, guvcview allows you to record video with audio or take single photos from the camera. I can even use the software to control the pan, tilt, focus, exposure and backlight compensation. My Logitech C930e works great with guvcview. This software allows you to set the color, resolution and if the camera allows it, even the zoom. Guvcview – If you have a webcam with your Linux Mint install, then you need guvcview. This is helpful when using the application between your Mint PC and a portable device like an Android phone. Plus, it can synchronize between a local client and the Web. It’s dead simple to use, and provides both mobile and desktop application access. This is why I think Simple Note is a natural choice for casual users. But I’d also point out that not all of the note taking apps are created equal. Simple Note – Now I will grant you, Linux Mint has no shortage of note taking applications available in its repositories. I wasn’t sure the on-screen controls were going to work with my needs initially, but I’ll admit they’ve grown on me. Features that have won me over include GPU video decoding, a high quality video output and on-screen controls. After watching some of my localized video content however, I’m definitely sold. This prompted me to explore mpv as an alternative media player. ![]() But lately it’s had a nasty habit of blurring and stuttering videos with some file containers. ![]() Mpv Media Player – I like VLC, overall it has been a great media player. This article will share my own must have applications that I think every Linux Mint user should check out. There are also what I’d call “must have” applications. But there’s more to Linux Mint than the distro itself. The reasons why are covered in my “ Why Linux Mint won” article. I must admit that I’m still shocked at how popular Linux Mint has become. ![]()
