Description

Those of you who have known me for a while are aware of the fact that I don’t use a Windows or a Mac computer. “What the hell do you use then?” one might ask. Well, we’re powered by Linux over here.
In this episode, I'll talk a little bit about how and why I started to use Ubuntu, a Linux distribution, as my main operating system and list some of the software or platforms I use in my daily professional life.
Here's the list for reference:

Emailing: Gmail
Scheduling: Google Calendar, Trello.com
Accounting: Quickbooks.com
Translating: Swordfish, XTM, Memsource
File Creation: LibreOffice, GoogleDocs, Prezi.com
Voice Recording: Audacity
Video Editing: WeVideo.com, OBS, Shotcut
Subtitling: Gnome Subtitles, Subtitle Composer, Subtitle Editor, Aegisub
