 It is really hard to believe that November is so far gone already, and I can't even begin to tell you where time has gone. It's just like it's just zooming by before you know it's going to be like the 4th of the July or something. It's just absolutely nuts, but that's beside the point. Every single month I get together and find five amazing Linux apps that I can share with you in hopes that I bring some entertainment to your life, and the series seems to be fairly popular, so I continue to do them. I continue to go and find applications, and this month is no different. I have five really cool apps to share with you this month. I'm really looking forward to it. But before we jump in, let me remind you that there's this big red button right below my face, and you should hit that button, and if you haven't already, subscribe to the channel because I publish content pretty much every single day of the week. Some of it is good content. Some of it is not good content, but you don't want to miss the good content, so hit the subscribe button. You won't regret it, or at least I hope you won't regret it. If you do regret it, let me know, and maybe I can get better. Anyways, enough of my rambling. Let's go ahead and move on. Move into the list. You're here for the applications, right? Let's go to the applications. Let's jump in. Okay, so the first app on the list for this month is called Seahorse, and Seahorse is a very interesting little application. It's made by the GNOME guys, and its purpose is kind of to be a password manager, but not really to be a password manager. It's kind of hard to explain, but really what it's meant to do is create and store GPG keys and open SSH keys. Now, it'll also store passwords, but as you'll see in the video and the B-roll that you'll see in this section, the password functionality is a little weird. If you're looking for a password manager, this is probably not the one that you're going to want to go with because it doesn't store usernames or anything. It'll just store passwords. That's literally it. Write out the name of the password that you're storing and then the password that's all it will store. What this is really useful for is storing GPG keys. So if you use GPG in order to encrypt your emails or whatever, you can store your keys in this. This is like a gooey way of doing GPG encryption and SSH keys, which will allow you to connect to things via SSH. And the SSH thing is really kind of what I found most interesting about this because I have a hard time remembering how to set up SSH in the command line. I always have to look up a tutorial in order to set it up. This made it really, really easy. And I think that despite the fact that I usually prefer to do things in the terminal that going through and actually using a gooey in this case made it more enjoyable for me to maintain these things and easier too. So Seahorse is free and open source, obviously, and it's available as a flat pack, I believe. I'm not sure. Actually, when it is in the AUR, because I downloaded this in the AUR. So it is in the AUR. It is a flat pack, whether it's in your destroyer repositories is something that I can't answer, but you should be able to check fairly easily. So that is Seahorse. Okay, so the second app on this month's list is called Get UI. And for those of you who've been watching the channel for a while, you'll know that I pretty much despise using Get in the command line. There's way too many commands. It's way too confusing. And it's just not something that I've ever been able to really wrap my mind around, even though I've gotten better over at it over the last few months. So I've always been looking for an application that I can go through and just use to interact with Get in a more 2E slash GUI, you know, fashion. And for a while now, I've been using Get Crackin. And Get Crackin is a proprietary piece of software, but it's really, really good. But I've been wanting to look for a false option. And Get UI is an option that I'm going to be trying out. Now, this is a 2E application, meaning it runs in the terminal. And you can do pretty much everything you need to do to interact with Get inside this application. Now, I've not used it extensively. I haven't set it up with my Get credentials yet, mainly because I just distro hopped because of computer problems. And I haven't set up SSH keys and all that stuff yet. But when I do, I'm going to be giving Get UI a deeper look because it seems at least a little more simple than something like LazyGit. LazyGit was very complicated for me, and I can never get it up and running and working well. So I didn't use it. That's why I was using Get Crackin. But Get UI seems at least a little bit easier to set up. Now, I will say that the help for Get UI is not all that great, at least in application. I can't speak to what it is on their website. I'm assuming the documentation is much better on the website. I haven't actually looked or haven't had the chance to look, but the help inside the application is not very great. And there's not a man page. There's a very rudimentary help page that just says help brings up this thing. And there's no options or anything. Now, it does give you a list of all of the key bindings and stuff that you'll need to know. And there are helper tags along the bottom of what you'll tell you where you can go and what you can do. So it's not that hard. And it's not as if you need a ton of documentation. But I really do think that I need to go and actually read the website before I dive into this. But from what I can tell and from the few things that I've read about it, Get UI does look like it's at least a little bit simpler than lazy Get. And that's something that appeals to me. And other than that, it's just a way to interact with Get. If you want some other way of interacting with Get, then just using the standard Get commands. So that is Get UI. OK, so the next one on the list is called Markets. Now, this is another GNOME-based GTK application. And it's very, very simple. There's not a ton that you're going to be doing with this. Basically, this is just a stock market slash cryptocurrency tracker that you can install and keep track of certain stocks. There's literally nothing more to it. Now, in the B-roll that you're watching, you can see me go through and add a couple different stocks. You can go through and you can see me go through and add a couple cryptocurrencies. There's not actually a ton of stuff that you can do with this. There's not a lot of preferences. There's things that allow you to set the amount of time to have it refresh. And there's a bit of dark mode, I believe, is the only other thing that you can actually change in terms of actual settings. Now, when you click on one of the items that you've added, it will actually take you to the Yahoo pages for the markets. So if you click on Apple, it'll take you to the Apple page on Yahoo Finance or whatever it's called. If you click on Bitcoin, it'll take you to the Bitcoin tracker on Yahoo Finance. And other than that, there's not much to say that. So if you're an investor in the stock market or cryptocurrency or whatever, and you want an easy way to track this kind of stuff and you want a gooey way of doing it, markets is a good option for you because it's very, very simple. So that is markets. Okay, so the next app on the list is called Petivi. And Petivi is a video editor. I've been looking for something as an alternative to KadenLive because KadenLive does way more than I really needed to do and oftentimes confuses the crap out of me and they tend to push updates that go through and just crash it for no reason. So I've been looking for something that's a little bit more stable and a little bit more simple. And Petivi is an option that I'm looking into. It is very simple. I will say that it has a very simple UI. It has some features. It doesn't have a lot of settings. It has quite a few effects, which I find nice. But it's not as complex for sure as KadenLive. So if you need something more complex in a nonlinear video editor, KadenLive is probably still the best option for you. But if you're looking for something that's a little bit simpler, Petivi is an option. Now I will say that it doesn't seem to work well with transparent background animations. As you'll see in the B-roll, if I get this edited correctly, you'll notice that the Twitter animation that I import just has a black background. Now in KadenLive, it takes that black background out and just uses the animation as I think it should. With Petivi, it just left the black background there. Now I could go through and add a green screen to that very easily. It would be easy to do. But it's just something that I noticed in my brief time with it. Now I'm going to give it a little bit more try. I'm not going to commit to editing this video which is like 12 different tracks in order to edit. I don't think that I'm that committed. I'm more used to KadenLive right now and I want this video to be edited fairly quickly. But for more simple videos, I'm going to give Petivi a try and see how it works out because if I can get used to it, the simple UI really does appeal to me. So that is Petivi. If I'm saying that right, I actually didn't know. I don't know if I said the name right. I could be butchering that. Anyways, that's Petivi. Okay. Now the final app on this list for this month is called TUT. TUT is a terminal based Mastodon client. Now, if you don't know what Mastodon is, it's a federated social media platform similar to Twitter. It's very much Wild West from my experience. So if you join it, stay away from the federated timeline. There's a bunch of crazy shit on it. And it's just not a good place to be. It's just really, really, really bad sometimes. But if you follow just like the Linux people on there, it's actually a fairly good experience. Plus there are actually useful bots on Mastodon where you can go through, set it up so you can get all of your Twitter feed in Mastodon through a bot. It just shows up in your timeline just like they would in Twitter. And that kind of saves you from having to go through and visit Twitter. So that's kind of cool. So I've been using Mastodon a little bit more over the last week or so. And I've been looking for a TUI application that I can use Mastodon with so that I don't have to keep going to the browser and actually using Mastodon. And Tut is that option. Tut is not the greatest from what I've heard, but it works for me. It's very simple. There's, you can do pretty much everything you want to do in terms of using Mastodon inside this application. You can reply to messages. You can DM. You can view threads. You can boost. You can favorite. You can share. You can do all this stuff. And it's good. Now, my biggest qualm with it is that the layout is kind of wonky. As you'll see, as you've seen the B roll along one side, you have the timeline and you have the notifications. And you can change those panels to whatever you're viewing, whether it's the federated timeline, whether it's a different, your DM timeline, whatever. That's where those two things reside. And then in the right hand panel, you have the message that you're highlighted over. And I mean, it's a simple UI, but it's not the greatest. The thing about it is that finding help is kind of hard if you don't have the website in front of you. So as far as I can tell, there's no way of getting help inside the application. If there is a way to do that, like I said, I didn't find it. Maybe there is. And I just, you know, missed it. I everything seems to be done through them like command line stuff. So if you do colon and then like TL space home, it'll take you to your home timeline. What I thought you would do is it, you know, colon help and it would bring up help, but it doesn't actually do that. So maybe there's a key binding for it. And I just don't know. But the application itself is really good. It's fairly fast. It's easy to log into. You don't have to log into it each time. So it remembers your credentials and it just works. Now, I wish it would, it does seem to auto update, but from what I can tell, there's no way to control how often it updates. There's, it's possible there's a configuration file. I didn't actually look. So maybe there is and I just missed it. So that is tut. If you're interested in using mastodon and you want to use it in the terminal, that seems like a good enough option. I'm going to look for other clients and see if that, how they compare. And I'll let you know in a future video. So that is it for this month's top apps of the month. If you have an application that you'd like to share and see on a future list, you can leave those in the comment section below. Just remember not to include a link because Google will go through and delete those things because they don't like links. So just give me the name and the developer, just the name. And I'll try to find it and add it to the list. I really do appreciate all the help everyone gives me with these application lists. Because if I use one of your applications, I don't have to then find an application to fill out the top five. So I really do appreciate any of the comments that you leave below. If you have interest in any of the apps that I shared today, also leave a comment. I love our discussions. You can follow me on Twitter at Linuxcast. You can support me on Patreon at Patreon.com.
