  • neofetch

    🖼️ A command-line system information tool written in bash 3.2+

  • Since MX Linux is based on Debian, you can use this command: sudo apt install neofetch (in case neofetch isn't installed). Once installed, just type neofetch in terminal. Neofetch is a command line utility that shows information about your system.

  • ONLYOFFICE

    ONLYOFFICE Docs is a free collaborative online office suite comprising viewers and editors for texts, spreadsheets and presentations, forms and PDF, fully compatible with Office Open XML formats: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx and enabling collaborative editing in real time.

  • You could try free and open source alternatives of Office software, such as Libre office and Only office, I personally recommend these two due to popularity and also, Only office is the only one that looks most identical to Office 365 imo, and when it comes to keeping all the documents and other stuff, you can use Insync, and you can use alternatives of Photoshop such as GIMP or Krita, or you can simply use wine to run Photoshop as if it's being used on Windows

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
