L Vue scan pro is a must if you’re into analog photography. The software that usually comes with scanners and printers generally doesn’t work on Linux and if it does it’s terrible.
It’s pretty much the only choice on Linux (though it is cross platform). Free 30 day trial, then ~$80 lifetime licence.
The other choice is LaserGRBL, which is open source, but doesn’t seem to have a Linux port for some reason. And it has a lot fewer features, with a more complex workflow.
I’m sure there are some closed softwares left worth paying for but personally I would stop paying for all of it.
The only software left that I pay for is phpstorm and it’s buggy as hell and for every bug report I get a “well, nobody really cares”. Then what the hell am I paying for?
Well I’m paying for features not found in other systems but seriously, it soeerds my work up by 300% and slows it down by 200% due to the extreme amount of bugs… it’s not acceptable for a paid product but unfortunately there is no good alternative open source product yet.
I don’t know other IDE’s very well, haven’t used others in years.
Amongst things… PHPstorm allows me to rename a method and it will automatically rename that method in any extended class, interface, etc, and any call to they method too. It usually, mostly, does a reasonable job at it, but sometimes it forks up big time.
I guess I am willing to try eclipse again, see how well that goes.
When it comes to 2D CAD/CAM, then QCad is the best. They have a GPL version, but their commercial version has a lot more features, like importing/exporting most Autocad files, and CAM functionality. For just $40 bucks, it’s worth every penny. The only disadvantage it has is that it can’t ever have an ARM version, because the plugin they use for Autocad files is licensed, and it only exists for x86 afaik.
gitkraken has a lot of features that I never use. But showing the various branches and their connections as a color-coded tree is worth paying money for.
The IDE is called RStudio, not R-Studio. IDE is for R, and there is nothing inherently unique to that IDE. R-Studio on the other hand is a tool with absolutely no competition for over a decade, and is thus worth as a paid tool for all OSes.
When I used it on Windows, I pirated it. But there exists no way to pirate it on Linux, and when I have enough funds, I will ensure to buy something as useful and irreplaceable as R-Studio, since I get the liberty to use it on any OS.
Also only the Network Technician license costs $800. Regular single user lifetime license costs around $70 and works offline.
