Switching From OS X to Ubuntu: 10 Things I Miss
- sspencer 18y agoUgh, how can he miss Quicktime? VideoLAN is all anyone I know uses on OS X (and often on Linux, for that matter). And as for Pidgin, I actually appreciate its economy of interface and simple notification methods. The trackpad bit is spot-on, though. I did miss that whenver I ran Linux on my old PowerBook instead of OS X.
- silentbicycle 18y agoDictionary - I presume having a really good dictionary bundled with the OS requires paying licensing fees, such as for OS X's included OED. Hopefully, someone out there is working on a system-wide spell checking framework for Linux. Ispell or aspell, perhaps? Integrating with them is not difficult (for developers...), and you can add words to the shared dictionary.
