-LibreOffice Suite
-Mate Dictionnary
Seconded. It's great on Uruk.
emacs last version. Please Emacs!
Seconded.
For PDF's Okular seems to b ethe only one supporting annotations so I vote for that
Evince (Trisquel 7's document viewer) now support for annotations: https://help.gnome.org/users/evince/stable/annotations.html.en
I am a translator!
wow, that's great news!! Evince FTW :)
EDIT: Hahaha, I had no idea, it's supported on Evince 3.14 (one I'm using). Had no idea. X_X
-A PDF viewer, I suppose it will be Evince as usual; I really like Okular.
-Calibre for ebooks.
-CUPS, of course.
-LibreOffice, of course.
-LaTeX+TeXworks.
Zimbra for Email, Calendar, etc? I'm not even sure Evolution Mail is still updated.
I'm not sure how necessary a desktop email client is these days, but an address book and a calendar are definitely useful things to have, as contact and schedule information is sensitive, and should be stored on and accessed from a local drive with a local app, even if there is some secure integration with online apps. I like the way I can pop up a month view from the desktop toolbar, but it would be even better if whatever backend program supports this could also support other calendar functions like adding events/ appointments, synchronizing with online calendar apps (eg CozyCloud, NextCloud, Hubzilla) etc. It would be great if I could access my local address book from a webmail client like RoundCube (used by RiseUp and OpenMailBox), with appropriate authentication. Does Zimbra do these sorts of things?
* Document editor: LibreOffice - yes!
* Dictionary: Mate Dictionary - ok.
* PDF viewer?
* Text Editor: MousePad or LeafPad? I know this is usually in Accessories but I think it would be easier for new users to find under Office. I often want to quickly tap out some text without risking a web-based text field losing my work, and without loading the bulk of a full document editor just to type plain text.
* User-friendly support for printers/ faxes/ scanners would be great too.
