Apps for doing Research in Linux
#1
On the topic of research and apps that help document research and write research papers in Linux (Fedora Workstation 31) this is my experience and opinion:

LibreOffice is most compatible with the all formats for research conferences and journal paper publication, it even supports LaTex format. https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/

Gnome Latex works great and is one of the best apps for Latex format. https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-latex

Zotero is a great application for research for references and bibliographies organization, supports Open ID login by OpenID Foundation https://www.zotero.org

Atom is one of the best text editors for code writing, you can “hack it” (legally and supported by FOSS licence) and make it your own to best suite you + post it on github https://atom.io

(I hope Microsoft will not change that and give priority to their VSCode text editor)

DataHub (Guthub for datasets) CLI tool works in Linux, website works fine, they should have a graphical tool soon (not sure if CLI works in other Operating Systems) https://datahub.io

(Get Archive https://github.com/datopian/data-cli.../data-linux.gz

unzip archive, make file executable “chmod +rwx data-linux” or “chmod 777 data linux” and start from terminal.)

Joplin is great note taking to do list app, supporting markdown format https://joplinapp.org syncing with NextCloud https://nextcloud.com (other sync options supported).

Firefox one of the best browsers that respect privacy and is not chromium based. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

My Recommended Linux Operating system is Fedora Workstation with software from https://labs.fedoraproject.org or just use Fedora Labs from start.
My Recommendation based on experience for doing research in Linux (Fedora Workstation) is:
LibreOffice + Gnome Latex + Zotero + Atom (and github) + datahub CLI + Joplin + Firefox.


Any comments or advice are welcome here, I am always happy to learn about new FOSS (free and open source software) applications that are used in research today.

I plan to get a PineBook Laptop soon any recommendation on what Linux OS is best supported?

Regards, Alex
