Linux Apps I Use At Work
This video will go over all the applications I use on my Work PC. I go over my email, file browser, and many other features. As a life long Windows user, I was able to optimize my workflow once I moved to Linux and pick up a lot of productivity.
The idea for this video came from the Linux Experiment and after watching his video I realized that my workflow was completely different and learned some valuable things from that video. I encourage you to check out that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeLkPS4hsnw .

How about privacy, is office 360 reading your mails?
As an it guy myself there is (almost) nothing I hate more than the desktop version of outlook. It's always been a hideous, slow, sometimes overtly dangerous, broken piece of shit. The thing I hate more than outlook is exchange, they can't even get that to work right themselves in their cloud offerings. It often takes MINUTES to get mail on exchange online, just dump that shit, if you don't want to host it yourself (and I don't blame you) just use google, their stuff actually works.
I'm so tired of the Thunderbird love… I tried it for a few years and it was ok, but… 1.) It was more of a mess handling multiple E-Mail accounts. 2.) I hated not being able to export E-Mail to a .PST so that I could have a common format to store my favorite E-Mails in.
.PST Import is nice… but you also need .PST export… NOT having it kind of breaks a foundation of the Open Source Movement… the FREEDOM to CHOOSE.
Do you already have or could you do a nice easy to follow tutorial on FStab? I've just switched to Linux (2nd week in) and get lost in fstab.
Insecure desktop app so you use the office web based client?
So lets not do an alternative secure email client, instead lets use a Microsoft web based client who can read all your emails and contacts?
I do really like your videos but wtf is this? some juicy gift or backhander from MS?
I mean wtf?
No u did not try everything, example is mailspring and prospective mail (web app outlook)
Do you think we will see office on linux soon?
Can you please make a guide how to get same UI as yours. This is very cool looking UI, especially tabs on top.
Why do you sound like Christopher Walken in this video? 😀
Which pdf editing program do you recommend?
Please onenote alternative with images support
What distro is this, anyway? Looks good.
I don't think I've heard anything worse than "I'm a big advocate of open source software" and then recommending OWA and an Office clone. 🤦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸
I'm no IT but kind of doing the same thing you're doing. Windows at work daytime, linux at home night time. Gotta learn that auto mapping script for fstab for my server and network drive. So much to learn.
Totally agree on the email client, i also use Outlook web app is better than any linux client, thanks for showing us your desktop
Can you make the office conversion without using the ribbon? I hate the ribbon so much.
How do you deal with PST files
I've found WPS Office to be pretty good as well
Hello Chris, so Outlook web does not provide the option to save your mailbox offline (locally on the PC), right?
Thank you for the video. Super helpful for my transition to Linux workstation. The only key piece I am missing now is a VPN client. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
You're a little narcistic but your videos have helped me a lot to set my linuxes to my liking, also thanks to you I've succesfully migrated my page to a google cloud machine….so keep talking and keep those videos coming 🙂
Have you tried using WPS Office?
thanks cbt
Don't do "sudo nano". Use sudoedit. This will allow you to save as a super user but not run your text editor as a super user. This is especially important for any text editors that can launch arbitrary shell commands.
I3 window manager
Can we add POP3 to outlook online? and if we want to import .pst file to it or any Linux alternative?
Why don't you try the OnlyOffice suite? I love it because it's identical to microsoft office, it handles docx, xlsx etc. and it's open source too!
What Linux is this?
I'm using thunderbird but the calendar isn't as good as outlook. I end up using my phone for that.
i think a cool video idea would be using Steam proton to run windows productivity apps to see if they work. including Glorious Eggroll Proton.

Me: Came to see how he uses it for work.
Chris: Spends several minutes talking about his minecraft server.
Also Chris: I am a windows admin, here is 5 minutes on how to use ssh and scp.
Aside from that, great video. I also use the web-based O365 (outlook, teams, word, onedrive, etc..) and came looking for some tips on making the experience a little better and more seamless.
