An operating system most notably on mobile phones, but also found on media boxes.
Fundamentally flawed – It is tethered to Google in as many ways as they’ve made possible. From a time server, to internet traffic compression. From google play requiring an account requiring your verified phone number. From hoops to download and install software from their store. It’s fucking awful.

A program to present a GUI dialog, that lets a scripter get user input.
I didn’t use this for anything notable enough to form an opinion. It seems nice, but I didn’t want to have yet another application, especially one with a dependency, when there’s something commandline already (dialog).

I don’t really care about this, but I do use it occasionally to cut apart videos.
Quite straightforward to use for simple video editing and appending. It took me almost no time to learn.
Good for transcoding and merging audio into video.
I use avidemux_gtk

The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller
In general, this is a wonderful program. A great editor, and it’s quite easy to use.
Unfortunately, it really is for programmers. While I can muddle through everything, I’m not a programmer so it’s extremely time consuming for me to make anything.

I don’t know where I heard of this music player, but I had recently bookmarked it. I took a moment to check it out.
It failed my review.

This program adjusts an audio mixer from X11, the console, a terminal, the command line or a script. It uses the Open Sound System API.
This did the job when I needed the job done.
