        What kind of apps are you looking for? I actually use extremely few. Terminal, Atom, Firefox, Chrome, Skype for Linux.... that's about it.

            No, I looked at it very briefly and it seemed a little neat but there was something that it didn't do and it just didn't have anything that I wanted. I use VirtualBox when I need VMs on Linux.

                I live in a shell, so all the things I use every day are all command line based.

                • nano - text editor
                • glances - system performance information, cpu, memory, block throughput, network throughput, and sensor information (temp mostly)
                • vi/vim - text editor, have to have it, but don't like it
                • mutt - email reader

                  How does glances compare to netdata? https://github.com/firehol/netdata

                    You live in a CLI shell, I live in a GUI shell 🙂

                      glances does the same thing, but only for the one system. So if you need to manage lots of things, netdata is better!

                          Good on you. Too bad you chose Fedora though 😛 I have a tri boot with 2 Win10 and one Mint, default to Mint, which i will probably nuke and replace with Kubuntu

                                Use VirtManager. Boxes is way limited. I can control everything with VirtManager running on my Chromebook.

                                No particular order here, just stuff I have.

                                If you really want to be focused, use i3 instead of a full DE.

                                  Very similar to what I use, other than XAPI and various RDP clients.
                                  I also like Midnight Commander and ZSH instead of FISH.

                                    Why use VirtualBox when you have the much more capable and performant KVM included in any distribution?

                                          Issues are with Boxes. It just did... nothing.

                                            @scottalanmiller Have you used boxes? Very impressive.....

                                            No, I looked at it very briefly and it seemed a little neat but there was something that it didn't do and it just didn't have anything that I wanted. I use VirtualBox when I need VMs on Linux.

                                            Why use VirtualBox when you have the much more capable and performant KVM included in any distribution?

                                            Tried both. One worked great. One did nothing.

                                            I use KVM all of the time on mine and it's great. Not sure what your issue is.

                                            Issues are with Boxes. It just did... nothing.

                                            Ah I thought you meant KVM. Ya I used it once and was not impressed. I stick with VirtManager and virsh.
