Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems. It has been a great tool for software development in my experience.

I wouldn't mind seeing a version of Microsoft Access in Linux. I understand that Access's version of SQL is non-compliant with standards BUT its forms, reports and configurability with MS Basic features is really useful. I've tried Libre Office's Base, MariaDB and another database - but they either don't offer the features or are REALLY difficult to install.

MPC-HC

Or VLC to have the option "After Playback -> Play Next File In Folder"

That is the only option that is holding me back from switching my HTPC to Linux.

One thing I am having a hard time with, and considering how many people are switching over to Linux from Apple should make it a priority, is finding a similar suite of tools that comes with OSx. I miss something as simple as Garageband and iMovie. Yes, Linux has better, but the learning curve is so intense, it is a turn off even for professionals like me.

I'm a journalist and need to edit RAW files on the go, grab videos, write an article and upload it all to our sites. That is an easy task with an Apple MacBook Air, now how about I do the same with that same latop, but running on Ubuntu Studio, AV Linux, KXStudio, or Deepin?

Hope this helps. I'm an audio guy who uses videos once in a while, not the other way around.

Photoshop, without a doubt.

MediaMonkey would be useful

Like this in Debian's repositories?

I think you should clarify what you mean by Google Earth?

Would love to see Ableton on linux. That was the only thing that had me conflicted when switching to linux. I know of a lot of people who use Ableton and wish that they could use it on linux. I am sure it would probably be a pain for the ableton support and troubleshooting people but i think it would be well worth it in the long run. =]

I realize that it would probably require much of Xcode, but a Linux implementation of Swift with <please don't start flames> a Gnome IDE would open a zillion possibilities for cross-platform apps.

Itunes more will come i need to make a list.

(1) Web Express web publisher - the most user friendly I have seen although it is not sophisticated (no rollovers nor secure uploads (easily solved with FTP app)). Free for Windows, do not know for Mac OSx.

(2) Mathtype equation editor for Open Office and/or Libre Office, although correspondence with the vendor about a MS instabilty (what else is new?) suggests little interest.

Thank you! 1- Program with flexibility to mount .iso programs. (I have gotten a few programs, then had to download something to mount it [wrong, that shouldn't happen] to discover the mounting program does not work. (I'm a novice!)
2- Anti-virus program, a good one like Kaspersky. I tried to install a Kaspersky I have but wouldn't work on Ubuntu.
I downloaded Ubuntu, heard good things about it, but none of those "good things" I saw. I tried to post to warn people that Ubuntu is NOT for any novice. You need to be experienced/knowledgeable with computers, then you will probably like it. I discovered not to download the newest program (like I did with Ubuntu & GNOME) for a novice like me. Let the more knowledgeable work with the newest release because they know how to work on/fix the problems. (It's like not to buy the newest car that comes out for sale due to all the fixes that need to happen).

You said "Constructive" comments. I suppose that also means "constructive criticism?". Regardless, I'm not criticising, rather I love the idea of Free Downloads. As a result, I am doing what I can to patronize whoever advertises with you in the hope of a positive manner to help spread a "free Ubuntu".

My experiences with this forum has not been as good as you stated "... we continue to remain extremely friendly..." Actually NO, you haven't, to me that is though I have been quite polite and trying not to be offensive, but I still got negative reactions. My experiences, and the ones I have read indicate NO the "challenge others" and "differing opinions" are clearly not tolerated! I received name-calling, when I certainly did not throw the first name-call and belittling comments.

Let's make ONE issue perfectly clear - I noticed the people who are giving advice to others to help them through their computer problems are doing so VOLUNTARILY! I believe they deserve much more respect for donating their time/expertise all trying to help a frustrated person. You also cannot insist upon volunteers to put-up with a thin patience line dealing with a novice like me.

I learned I need to know more about computers, as I should have all along. I joined an on-line free computer course (at least it's free so far). I'm learning, slow for someone my age, but trying.

This may "ring-a-bell" to someone: I have a Hp Pavilion dv6, I backed-up everything from this lap-top into a 4Tb external drive I formatted NTFS prior to backing-up. I have all sorts of private information, checkbook & things, in the external drive. I was downloading GNOME because it said I had to have such in my newest Ubuntu. The GNOME was so big I put it in the external drive and now I can't access it, given an error message.

After asking questions on the forum, a kind soul started to help but lost patience soon. My post warning people that if they want Ubuntu, they need to be more experienced/knowledgeable than me (in a polite & respectful manner) was received with names like "idiot", "troll" just to name a couple, and nothing, or otherwise blacklisted.

I know nothing about computer software writing, but think there should be some sort of .iso program that could install all other .iso programs written so a person could download what he/she needs without an exhaustive search and download of a program designed just to mount the program I just downloaded. Most people would respond with frustration and refusal to deal with whoever did that to them, and they won't forget. That part is a mistake that needs to be corrected.
