Lubuntu

December, 2015

I am now using Lubuntu 15.10 which I find to be very stable and easy to use.

Have stopped using Quicktime under Wine to edit .mov files from my camera and now use Openshot. This is a good solution for editing and splicing .mov or any other video files. Titles and transitions may be added, also the results can be rendered to a number of formats including for example suitable for Youtube or Vimeo.

For HTML and CSS editing I normally use the text editor. Sometimes, however, a WYSIWYG app is useful. An online tool is available at http://www.quackit.com/ which is useful, also sometimes use Gwrite:

Gwrite is an HTML format text editor.

Features:

1. HTML5 file format
2. Standard word processing user interface
3. Content structure oriented word processing
4. Title style table of contents production
5. Similar navigation/documentation views in Microsoft Word
6. Paragraph selection when double or right click in navigation view
7. Word count: for document or selections, count the words(with and without spaces), paragraphs, lines, English words, Chinese characters.
8. Images inclusion via Base64 

Gwrite includes some default styles, so I normally compose some stuff and then copy the body section to my own template to produce the html file.

For posting to the web Filezilla is perfect.

I quite like Viewnior image viewer as it also shows EXIF data.

Have sometimes used gedit text editor.

Openshot, Gwrite, Filezilla, Viewnior and Gedit are all available from the Lubuntu repository so installing them is easy.
