is constantly looking for better ways to do things, including all things open source.
HOW WE TESTED…
In this Roundup we used the programs on a Linux laptop in conjunction with a mouse pointer. We also used an external pen device to draw figures. We only used modules that were supplied with the programs by default, we didn’t try to create any modules – this is something that’s better suited for a future JavaScript programming tutorial.
We installed the programs using the most popular packaging method and also examined the repositories to see how difficult it is to compile them yourself. There’s the option to install from source in all cases, but the most stable method will be to use whatever the developers release. These programs all come as Flatpaks bar Lorien, and we installed them using Flatpak, AppImage or the Debian installation process, according to the developer’s recommendation.
Considering the small size and complexity of these programs, you don’t need to choose one according to their performance. It’s all down to personal preference.
