There is A LOT of misinformation circulating around and people just don't understand half of it. People need to learn how security software even works today and they'll understand. I may not agree with them selling data anyway, anonymized or not, but I know their inner workings of malware protection side and what all is required to be efficient. AVAST Software is not really standing out because ALL antivirus companies use similar methods in one or the other way. If back in the day detecting binaries and hoping users will submit you malicious samples or suspected samples, those days are long gone. These days security companies run huge data centers that hoard samples automatically, feed them to these data centers and sort them automatically, form threat models using mathematical algorithms so every sample that arrives to the data center next can easily be flagged either as CLEAN or MALICIOUS. Everything that is inconclusive gets on a separate feed that is checked by actual humans and then they analyze samples and fine tune the systems to deal with them automatically in the future. And all this data processed in data centers is then feed back to users via cloud systems that basically all antiviruses use. Back in the day you downloaded detection signatures once a day, every 6 hours, every hour etc depending on antivirus design. And those gaps in between could lead to infections and missed samples. Cloud systems compare samples you've obtained to the huge databases they have on servers and instantly give a response. If no match is found this way, your system sends the sample to data center where above mentioned automated systems probe it and instantly classify it. Verdict is sent back to the user and client side antivirus flags the sample as malicious or allows it to execute. And to have this efficient, just feeding samples is not enough. You need to know where the sample came from (was it known browser, 3rd party binary (EXE), what was the URL it came from etc), you need to know what the sample is trying to contact and what are the protocols used, similar applies to phishing sites detection. Just knowing "oh user landed on phishing webpage" is not enough. You need to know how user got to the phishing website, what website he was visiting prior, how the transfer to the phishing website happened, was it script, was it manual user click, was it from e-mail or from another webpage etc. Knowing all this helps you yet again form threat models and crack down on source instead of trying to catch up flagging phishing addresses one by one. I've been learning antimalware systems for basically 20 years and I know their inner workings. Maybe not to absolute detail and algorithms used, but detailed basics. protection these days is all about big data and protection it provides is the best we've had in 30 years of existence of antivirus or security software. Back in the past antiviruses were always playing a catch up game. Today, they can actually be ahead of the game in a lot of cases. Getting infected today is actually really hard, where back in the day, even the best antiviruses often missed a lot of things. And all this is possible thanks to cloud systems and efficient contextual detection of suspicious samples or threats.
This ain't a gamer CPU. But if you get this encoding monster for 5x less than inferior Intel system, I'd say that's excellent value. And we're at point where AMD BIOS is mature enough to not really have any of those issues seen with first generation of Ryzen.
I just wish they'd also focus on gaming some more. Sure, give us moar cores, but there should be gaming series more focused on maximizing core clocks.
My first thought too, I would have thought the intense Magnet field around the MRI machine would have fucked the phone long before helium.
EDIT: in fact helium gas rises very quickly, I can't see how it would stay in the building long enough to get to the average phone (on a desk or in a pocket) at concentrations high enough to cause an issue without being notices by heads breathing it in.
Free and Open-source Alternatives to Common Programs
Revision History
1.0 - Thread created
1.1 - Thread revamped with new info and added links.
1.2 - Added Index (placeholder)
Introduction
With the advent of SteamOS, a good portion of gamers will likely switch to using it for their gaming needs. It won't really be long before more games start supporting Linux natively; newer games will definitely be supporting it as early as 2014, older games are constantly being ported over. Gaming on Linux is gaining momentum, but what about other productivity tools? Windows is still the king of OS's due to the wide range of applications natively supported, from Office to Graphics tools to 3D modelling, CAD/CAM and many other areas. Most of these applications are proprietary and closed-source and won't run on Linux natively.
The purpose of this topic is to highlight some of the many free and/or open-source alternatives to many proprietary Windows programs. Free doesn't necessarily mean open-source, and that difference will be highlighted where applicable. Open-source software isn't restricted to Linux only - many of them can be cross-platform. Many of them can also be cross-compiled from Linux source to run on Windows. Proprietary alternatives are only included for programs that are both low-cost and worth paying for.
One caveat to be aware of: The programs listed are merely alternative options to proprietary tools. In some specific cases, they won't act as replacements for the paid programs, due to paid programs having a vastly superior feature set. However, for the average user, the free alternatives are more than adequate. I personally tend to look at what people have done using the free alternative and compare them to the paid option, comparing their capabilities and not their specific feature sets. Of course, this may change in the future, due to the open-source nature of most of these programs: the necessary functionality can be added in my anyone.
So, let's begin!

Microsoft Office
Perhaps the most widely used and adopted set of tools for productivity. There are, however, more than a fair share of free and open-source options that are on par with Office, with one key exception: the free alternatives aren't capable of saving to .docx or any of the newer Office formats, but they are capable of reading them. That's not a major problem though: it's recommended to use the older .doc format due to being easier to work with. PDF is also a far superior format for sharing documents.
Open-source
1) OpenOffice.org - This is usually the first option to come to mind, and it's been around for a while. Contains all of the replacement tools for Office. However, as some of you already know, it's somewhat lacking in features. Cross-platform.
2) LibreOffice - a fork of OpenOffice, with a wider range of features, and is more updated. I personally use this instead of OpenOffice and it's amazing. Cross-platform.
3) KOffice/Calligra Suite - Built into KDE. It may be possible to install it as a standalone application with the necessary dependencies. Contains a wide range of tools for everything Office related. Some older versions of KOffice is available on Windows.
4) TexLive - Alternative for MS Word. Specifically useful for Scientific documents (LaTeX).
5) WPS - Formerly known as Kingsoft Office, WPS is a newly updated version. Runs on iOS, Android, Windows and Linux, and capable of working with .docx and .xlsx files (compatibility and formatting issues aside). Exports to PDF as well, much like LibreOffice.
Freeware/Online
1) Google Drive - Can't say much more. Full range of Office tools online, seamlessly synced between devices. Google has also been promoting QuickOffice, which is a set of tools available on Mobile devices with Drive integration.
2) OneDrive - Microsoft's own set of online Office tools, similar to Google Drive.
Adobe Photoshop
High up on the list of productivity tools used by graphics designers and digital painters.
Open-source
1) GIMP - widely seen as the best Photoshop alternative on Linux. It is also cross-platform.
2) GIMPshop - Similar to GIMP, both open-source and cross-platform.
3) Krita - part of Calligra Suite. It's primarily a digital painting program, which Photoshop is capable of. Linux only, with an experimental version available for Windows.
4) Scribus - Specialized tool for creating publications. Cross-platform.
Freeware
1) Paint.NET - An advanced version of MS Paint, but contains many of the basic features found in Photoshop. Available on Windows only, as it depends on .NET Framework.
Adobe Illustrator
Perhaps the best Vector-based graphics tools. Photoshop has some vector capabilities, but Illustrator is far superior.
Open-source
1) Inkscape - great replacement for Illustrator. Cross-platform as well.
2) LibreOffice Draw - part of the LibreOffice package. Cross-platform.
3) Karbon - integrated into KDE in the Calligra Suite, making it Linux only. However, there are ways of installing KDE packages on Windows. Should be able to install it without KDE with just the dependencies.
4) Xara Xtreme - Looks to be an excellent Vector-graphic editor. Available on Linux and Windows.
Adobe Premiere/After Effects
These two are generally combined as each performs a specific group of tasks. Premiere focuses on editing, while After Effects focuses on compositing and visual effects. Most open-source options combine these features into a single application - which is great.
Open-source
1) Cinelerra - perhaps the best option available. There are two versions, a community maintained one as well as an official one. The community version is called cinelerra-cv and is available on most Linux distributions. Not cross-platform afaik.
2) Kdenlive - Similar feature set to cinelerra, but more along the lines of Premiere. Kdenlive is available on Windows through a VM image.
3) OpenShot - Another option instead of Cinelerra. Primarily on Linux, but can be cross-compiled on Windows with the right set of tools (Cygwin, etc).
4) Avidemux - Cross-platform and open-source. Very simple video editing, and encodes in multiple formats.
5) LiVES - Available on Linux and OS X. Similar feature set to Cinelerra.
6) Blender - primarily a 3D modelling program (will go into more detail below), but includes a non-linear video editor. Runs on python, which is cross-platform.
Freeware
1) Lightworks - there's a free and premium version available. The free version is free forever. So far, Lightworks is Windows only. The Linux version is in beta.
There are many other free video editors out there. A Google search will reveal at least 10 other options.
Autodesk Maya/3ds Max, Cinema 4D
3D modellers have perhaps used these applications. In fact, Cinema 4D's R15 was just released (as of October 2nd, 2013).
Open-source Blender. I'm not even going to bother mentioning other options for now, as I have yet to find an option that beats it. There are plenty of projects out there done using Blender (Sintel is a perfect example of a short movie made entirely in Blender). It does everything you could possibly expect from it, along the lines of Cinema 4D and all of the other paid applications. Best of all, it's free and fully open-source.
Corel Painter
Perhaps the best digital painting tool out there. Has the widest range of brushes, painting media, etc.
Open-source
1) Krita - mentioned it already. One of the best free digital painting applications available. Has excellent support for Wacom tablets.
2) MyPaint - similar to Krita. Cross-platform.
3) Alchemy - more of a niche program. Great for random sketching, doesn't have an undo function.
4) Gimp Paint Studio - Set of tools integrated into Gimp to provide digital painting tools, brushes, etc.
Development Tools (IDEs)
Microsoft's Visual Studio is probably one of the most common proprietary options, with development environments for C, C++, C#, among many others. On the OS X side, there's Xcode for developing in Objective-C. This section will list some of the alternatives to using the paid programs.
Open-source
1) Eclipse - In my humblest opinion, one of the best IDEs available. Free, completely open-source and extensible through plugins. I've personally set my installation of Eclipse to work with Python, C, C++, Java, Android, and PHP/MySQL, and that's barely scratching the surface of the amount of development environments that can be integrated into Eclipse through plugins.
2) Code::Blocks - Another open-source IDE primarily for C++, but has a plugin system to easily extend functionality. Cross-platform.
3) Netbeans - free and open-source, comes default with the Java Development Kit, as an optional addon. It does support development environments for multiple languages.
Freeware
1) Programmer's Notepad - Supports syntax highlighting for multiple languages. Windows only.
2) Visual Studio Express - The free version of Visual Studio. It's perfect for people who want to get started developing on Windows. Naturally, Windows only.
Proprietary
1) Sublime Text - Technically paid, but a free, unlimited trial is available. It is cross-platform, and widely regarded as one of the best Text-based development environments.
2) IntelliJ - Specifically for Java and Android development.
Cloud
This is a pretty unique category, as there are literally dozens of cloud-based IDEs for various languages. I'll try my best to highlight some of the best ones based on languages supported. Feel free to link me to any Cloud IDEs you know of and I will add it to the list.
1) Cloud9 - Code anywhere. Free and subscription available. Doesn't appear to have language restrictions.
2) Codenvy - Free and premium subscriptions available. There are free premium packages if you plan on developing open-source projects (the way I interpret it).
FRAPS/Dxtory, Xsplit
By far the best video recording and streaming tools available. However, there are more than a fair share of free and open-source options.
Open-source
1) Open Broadcaster Software - capable of streaming to Justin.tv, Twitch.tv and other streaming sites. Optionally, it'll also record to the HDD using a range of compression settings. While it is open-source, a Linux version currently doesn't exist. There is plenty of interest in a Linux version.
2) GLC - The Linux FRAPS. GLC is a bit tricky to install, but is excellent on Linux. Needs to be built from source.
3) Yukon - Similar to GLC. Needs to be built from source.
4) SimpleScreenRecorder - Name is self-explanatory. Supports desktop and game recording, as well as streaming to Twitch.TV and other streaming services.
5) Twitch Streamer - A minimal shell script designed to stream directly to Twitch. Captures from the X server directly.
Freeware
1) FFsplit - a free streaming software available primarily on Windows.
2) MSI Afterburner - one of the best free options for recording gameplay.
Media Players
Everyone needs a media player, whether it's combined or just for music.
Open-source
1) VLC - easily the best media player available. Also capable of recording the desktop and there's also the possibility of a video editor being added later on. Supports Bluray with some workarounds.
2) MPlayer/SMPlayer - along the lines of VLC. Cross-platform.
3) aTunes - iTunes equivalent on Windows and Linux.
4) Amarok - feature-rich media player.
5) XBMC - great open-source media player, capable of all types of media. Particularly good for an HTPC setup.
6) Audacious - open-source and available on many Linux distributions. Also cross-platform.
7) Clementine - cross-platform and open-source music player.
8) Plex - media streaming option along the lines of XBMC, but designed to run as a server. Ideal for a centralized media server and streaming to multiple devices (Mobile, PC, HTPC, etc).
9) Windows Media Player classic - plays a wide range of formats, specifically rmvb (RealPlayer). Simple and easy to use interface. A great alternative to VLC media player, but is Windows only despite being open-source.
10) Banshee - Open-source and cross-platform media player. Great replacement for iTunes (supports iPod syncing).
11) Apollo - A music player for Android. One of many options on Android.
12) MPV - Fork of mplayer2 and MPlayer, lightweight and easy to use.
Freeware
1) Foobar2000 - IMO, one of the best and most configurable music players.
2) Winamp - This is only included because it's one of the more popular options. I personally would not recommend it, as it is more bloated compared to other options.
3) KMPlayer - Free media player on Windows.
4) iTunes - self-explanatory. Windows and OS X only, with alternatives above for Linux.
5) MusicBee - Free Music player available on Windows.
6) PotPlayer - Free music player for Windows operating systems.
Gaming
This section is perhaps no longer needed due to SteamOS. However, for games that don't run natively on Linux (and ignoring Steam's in-house streaming option), here are the best ways to get games running on Linux:
Open-source
1)WINE - The easiest way, supports a wide range of Windows applications and Games. Check the AppDB for specific issues with some applications. Generally, anything rated Gold and above in their database will run well.
2) PlayOnLinux - essentially WINE, but with a simple GUI to make managing Games easier. Also supports various Windows applications. A full list of supported software is on their website.
Proprietary
I know the topic says Free/Open-source, but I feel like this deserves an exception:
1) Crossover - basically a paid version of WINE with better support.
CAD/CAM/CAE
Stands for Computer Aided Design/Manufacturing/Engineering. Prime examples of proprietary software are: SolidWorks, Unigraphics NX, Catia, ANSYS, Pro Engineer, AutoCAD, among many more. The following is a list of free and open-source alternatives.
Open-source
1) FreeCAD - the perfect AutoCAD and Solidworks replacement.
2) OpenFOAM - The best open-source alternative to ANSYS tools (primarily used for numerical simulation in Structural and Mechanical Engineering).
3) Scilab - excellent replacement for MATLAB (which is cross-platform, while still proprietary). Scilab is the free and open-source equivalent based on Python.
4) Octave - very similar to Scilab and MATLAB.
5) Scipy - a python extension specifically for scientific and simulation-based calculations.
6) CAElinux - Should really belong in a section of its own, as it's an entire distribution built around CAE.
Torrent clients
The most common ones are BitTorrent and uTorrent, among others. Most of these clients are free, but aren't open-source. Some of them are more bloated than others. The following is a list of free and open-source clients.
1) Deluge - Great torrent client. I used it briefly; supports extra features through plugins. Cross-platform.
2) Transmission - Same as Deluge, free and open-source. Runs on many Linux distributions.
3) rtorrent - Generally installed through the repositories of whichever distribution. Terminal based, very simple yet powerful. Optionally, rutorrent can be installed to give it a web-based interface. These two are a very popular choice for a dedicated server running as a Torrent box (frequently referred to as a seedbox).
4) qBittorent - Cross-platform and open-source.
5) Tixati - Heard about this one more recently. Runs on Windows and Linux.
Instant Messaging/Chat programs
Not really a category that needs to be included, as most are free. However, not all are open-source. The only proprietary paid program I know of is mIRC, which is a commonly used IRC program. Some alternatives to mIRC:
1) Hexchat - an improvement over xChat. Cross platform (Windows, Linux) and open-source. Lots of features. xChat Aqua is an option for OS X.
2) Irssi/Weechat - minimalist IRC program. Not suited for everyone, but has a clean interface, and fun to tinker around with. Weechat is similar to Irssi.
3) Pidgin - mutli-protocol chat program. Supports IRC as well as many other common ones: Windows Live, Facebook, Jabber, Google Talk, AIM and many more.
4) Jitsi - similar to Pidgin, has some nice security features.
Email Clients
This section contains tools that run from within the Linux terminal, and don't exist as a standalone application. Nevertheless, they are quite powerful when used correctly.
1) Mozilla Thunderbird - probably one of the most well-known email clients. Cross-platform.
2) Claws Mail - An open-source email client for Linux. Cross-platform.
3) Mutt - Terminal-based email client.
4) Squirrel Mail - Personally used it to set up an Email server on a dedicated server (Kimsufi 2G), works wonderfully. Simple web interface for checking email.
Linux Terminal-based Tools
This section contains tools that run from within the Linux terminal, and don't exist as a standalone application. Nevertheless, they are quite powerful when used correctly.
1) Vi/Vim - excellent text editor for Linux. Comes pre-packaged with many Linux installers.
2) Nano - also comes pre-packed with Linux installers.
3) Emacs
4) cmus - Terminal-based music player.
5) Mutt - Terminal-based email client.
Antivirus
Generally not a problem for Linux due to its security features; however, there are some open-source and free options available for Windows, OS X and Linux. I haven't used the open-source ones below, so I cannot comment on its effectiveness. Nevertheless, I'll list them for people to try out.
Open-source
1) ClamAV - Available as source code for various Linux distributions.
Freeware
1) Avast - free and pro versions available. One of the most recommended free options.
2) AVG - same as Avast. Personally find it to be a bit bloated.
3) Microsoft Security Essentials - comes built into Windows 8, available for Windows 7 as well as other Windows OS's.
4) Malwarebytes - Anti-malware software.
PDF Tools
The following section contains software used to view and manipulate PDF files (annotations, editing PDFs, combining, etc).
1) PDFCreator - print to PDF, among other features.
2) Bullzip PDF - A printer driver which can be installed to print any document type as a PDF. Particularly useful for obscure file formats that can't be converted directly to PDF.
3) SumatraPDF - A free PDF and ebook (.epub, .mobi) reader.
4) Evince - A replacement PDF viewer that supports other file formats.
5) Xournal - free and open-source software specifically replacing OneNote or other Journal applications. Supports tablet PCs, and is able to annotate PDFs.
6) Stylus Labs - So far, of the Journal applications I've tried, this works the best in terms of writing performance. Xournal had an input lag that I noticed on Windows, not sure how it runs on Linux. Saves as .html files, with optional PDF export. Quite the quirky website design too.
7) PDFLite - PDF Viewer and printer (converts multiple formats to PDF). Source code is freely available for compiling on Linux.
Virtualization
This section contains software used for virtualization, whether it be development environments (virtual servers), or virtual machines. It's a fairly broad category. Some of the software under development tools were moved to this section to be a bit more accurate. The list includes free and open-source options.
1) Oracle's Virtualbox - the go-to option for free virtual machines. Supports a wide range of guest and host operating systems.
2) VMWare Workstation Player - available in Free and Pro versions (for commercial use).
3) Xen - Open-source virtualization, supports many guest operating systems and also supports various cloud platforms (OpenStack, etc).
4) KVM - another popular open-source virtualization program for Linux.
5) XAMPP - Web development environment.
6) Vagrant - creates a Virtual Server and sets it up as a development environment. Easily create and re-create (in any desired configuration) development environments to suit your needs.
7) WPN-XM - Web development environment built around Nginx (alternative web server to Apache), PHP, and Mariadb (faster alternative to MySQL).
Miscellaneous
This section contains mostly things that don't fall into the above categories, generally free. Some of them are cross-platform. Some of the summaries below may not be very accurate, so correct me if I'm mistaken. I've only used a couple of them in the past.
1) 7-zip - Everyone should have this, everyone should love it. Much better features compared to winzip and works with many different compression formats.
2) KeePass2 - encrypts and stores all of your passwords.
3) Xming - view/run X (Unix/Linux) based programs on Windows.
4) Cygwin/MinGW - Linux environment on Windows, can be used to compile programs from source on Windows. More involved, so usually ideal only for the tech savvy. Nice to have though, for people who want to tinker.
5) PuTTY - Simple SSH Client. Good for managing servers via command line.
6) Filezilla FTP - One of the best free FTP clients. Believe it also has SSH built in, but never used it.
7) Ghostscript/Ghostview - viewer/interpreter for Postscript, a programming language for creating vector graphics.
8) TrueCrypt - one of the best free disk encryption. Has automatic and real-time encryption of data.
----------------------
I haven't personally used many of the above applications, but it's a starting point for people interested in making the jump to Linux or SteamOS. Some of these options are a bit more involved to get running, but don't be afraid to get your hands dirty! It's an immense learning experience, and well worth learning.
Flextronic isn't by any means a crappy OEM. They have been designing/making PSUs for various of industry including the PC for quite a while. If anything, I would rank them above Seasonic.
The AXi had proven itself to be an excellent performing, well-build power supply. Of course, the Corsair Link is a bit gimmicky since it isn't exactly give you very accurate readings and due to it high price, I wouldn't recommend it in many cases.
This is totally valid. And at risk of taking my own thread off topic ha, it also completely ignores the future benefit that WILL be seen in RTX games. Anyone who thinks RTX won't be levied in some games in the near future is deluding themselves. It MAY not be relevant if those games aren't of interest, but anyone buying a 1080Ti today is taking a gamble on that given we just don't know. Of course, one could argue buying a 2080 is a risk also, if the user never ends up wanting to partake in any of those RTX experiences... but I know where I'd rather put my money, and it isn't on old technology that's already hit its absolute peak, and where I know for a fact that any and all RTX content would be out of bounds for me. I'm not about to willingly exclude myself from something that may be an extremely significant gaming revolution... even if there is a chance it may not. But that's just my own personal stand point on it.
My brother went off to college and took the old main monitor, so I'm stuck borrowing my dad's old dell when I can. My parents also told me that I can buy a nice, shiny new monitor when black friday rolls around because they want me to use as little of my savings as possible. My savings doesn't fund a new pc, even on black friday. My parents told me a pc is something I can probably get for christmas. My parents aren't big on gaming and they're kind of strict so the monitor comes first and the pc second.
Sorry if this was a lot I felt like explaining because this was kind of a rant too.
If this phone can fit a 4000mAh battery, a headphone jack and a stylus that has BT LE support all while maintaining IP68 certification without exploding, then I fail to see why others can't.
Android OEMs, you're not Apple. Stop messing about with the USB-C standard and actually work towards something that can properly replace the jack.
I just don't care. If a phone doesn't have a headphone jack, I just won't buy it. Not gonna be mad over a company not pandering to me.
I'd really love to see a company replace the headphone jack with usb c port though. I would possibly buy that.
Any bloatware that comes on a sub-$500 laptop or PC from a big box store. Update assistants that break Windows, trials of software that you'll never even use once, antivirus trials that automatically start after Windows Setup is done, then nag you forever that YOUR PC WILL BE INFECTED IF YOU DON'T BUY SUPERMEGAULTRA ANTIVIRUS EXTREME EDITION FOR 299.99 A YEAR (other lower prices available)
Because the current generation at the very least shoulder the responsibility for reconciliation if not repentance. Until a people face the crimes of their past, they won't have a smooth future that isn't posion by animosity, both domestically and internationally.
Well I'm not trying to make it political, but of course other people are claiming the racism of America.
Give me liberty or give me death. In any case, that's not back on topic, the topic is immigrating to new country legally, which doesn't split up families due to policies already in place from the 60s.
War leads to attrition. This one happened to end with a purchase and my family that's lived in this area for 500 years doesn't buy into it, and it certainly wasn't taught when they were kids, but hey, maybe Mexico's getting a bigger slice of chicanos than I thought. The land is known as the lost territory, but not the stolen territory. Britain did the same thing with Scotland and attempted Ireland. The Aztecs gained land by kicking the shit out of the other native tribes around them. Same thing with the Apaches and other warrior natives spread around the states.
Also, thanks for blaming ME for warring with the Mexicans. Again, to make it clear my fathers side is deeply rooted in Mexico, and actual the high culture society through affiliations. My mothers side is germanic/polish fleeing from WW2. Oh, right, that was another time when a European country tried to expand, but they lost that time and got neutered in the process.
As a side note, I legitimately don't know what this is supposed to mean
Nope, we still say claim that status, you did it.
It doesn't make much sense in English.
TL;DR
It's still not stolen and no one alive today is responsible for any war or slaughter of natives. Toss slavery into that too. Even if my great great grandfather was a slave owner, why does that make me responsible?
