Software suggestion lists

Do you think it would be a good idea to have suggestion topics for certain categories of software? I don't mean like "I'm looking for ..." kind of topics but of the type "I like using ... for that, and you?", or more generally, say for example the category is IDE and then people post their most preferred IDE application.

I personally would find that very interesting and keep a personal list of useful software myself. There are so many good pieces of software for Linux and some even better than the tools we're used to.

​

What do you think?

Number Of Users Per Linux Distro

I am searching, but can't find any information about the number of users in each distro.

Does anyone knows where to find this? (at least the most popular ones like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc ...).

It's just something I'm wondering.

Help with geny motion

I installed virtual box through the software manager of Linux Mint. I installed geny motion following these directions: [http://techapple.net/2014/07/tutorial-installsetup-genymotion-android-emulator-linux-ubuntulinuxmintfedoraarchlinux/](http://techapple.net/2014/07/tutorial-installsetup-genymotion-android-emulator-linux-ubuntulinuxmintfedoraarchlinux/)

​

making sure to change the name of the file to meet the download. Geny motion attempts to launch but says it needs virtual box; which is installed. I assume Geny isn't launching through virtual box like it should be I am a total noob at Linux. What can I do to fix this?

Tips on using a Remote Server to the fullest.(Customizing Ubuntu 14).

Hi people.

​

I was recently given access to a remote Linux(Ubuntu 14) server as a non-root user, to basically SSH into the server and perform some computing. The server has 4 GPUs, and many users.

​

I wanted to know some useful stuff so that I use the server to the fullest. Do note that i am not a sudoer. I want to know all the customizability I can change in the server. I did play around with the \`.bashrc\` file and added some welcome messages. But what are the other stuff I can do? From some research, I came to know about \`htop\` and \`SCREEN\` which is fun. I am mainly a python programmer.

​

Also, is there a way, I can install apt-get files without the \`sudo\` permission? I did some research and know about the download and \`make\` process, but I don't fully understand.

​

Thanks (Only if you reply :D )

Ubuntu vs Fedora SHOWDOWN

Time for the 2 biggest distros to duke it out. First we see what Ubuntu has to offer...

Ubuntu:

- Minimize button
- Visible dock
- Faster software store load
- Not having to update repositories every time you install something from the command line
- Bearable theme
- Better name
- LTS
- Nicer font rendering

Now what can fedora do to compete with that...

Fedora

- 32 bits apps
- no Snap


Throw in any thing else I missed in the comments. And yes, defaults matter!
