Software reviews

|---|---|
| inkscape "Inkscape is good software, but this package isn't up to date. As of writing it's on 0.92.5-1ubuntu1.1, it's buggy in some areas (notably the Objects dialogue)" |
3 |
| dolphin-emu "As of writing, this download hosts Dolphin 5.0. Which isn't that bad, that is the last Stable proper release, but it's 6 years old now. But if you don't care or it doesn't affect you then go ahead" |

| jstest-gtk "Maybe does the job, but seems buggy and very unintuitive." |

| anbox "This particular binary might require specific installation instructions... I assume this old 2019 build is from before they migrated to Snap, and it certainly makes sense to keep this around because I am not installing Snap. But specific instructions for *this build* are nonexistent, and the generic build instructions don't work *because* this build is outdated. Personally gonna try to build from source. Edit: also I suppose this build might not be compatible with the latest versions of the Linux kernel and Linux Mint..." |

| com.hamrick.VueScan "Required watermark on any and all scans for free version. This is not free software. Also slightly adware the way it opens the web browser every time you close it. Bad f-ing news." |

| no.mifi.losslesscut "Very nice video editor for its purpose. As an archivist of digital media, this is going in my toolkit from now on. Edit: As someone else said, this release tends to be outdated compared to latest stable Github release. Downgraded to 4 stars" |

| com.obsproject.Studio "Good software. But this download is not kept up to date much. At the time of writing (2022-03-20) the most recent update is 27.2.2 while this download is at 27.0.1." |

| deluge-gtk "UI is the same GTK+ UI as on Windows, which is what I was already familiar with. Regarding Deluge itself, it's a great open-source BitTorrent client." |

| xdelta3 "Needed to install it to run a certain script. Works like a charm." |

| discord "I use Discord all the time, including before now. Discord itself is good software in my opinion, a top of the line voice chat and messenger application. There was a voice-chat crashing issue on Linux, but it seems to be fixed as of recent at least in the branch Discord PTB." |
