#Linux experts (#Mint #Debian): Who has recommendations for... (1) Graphical #cron-job editor (2) Graphical #Systemd editor - specifically timers (3) Graphical file-share / #Samba configurator (4) Graphical File transfer client (SFTP/S3), like Cyberduck (5) Video editor (similar to #FinalCutPro on #MacOS) (6) Easy to use vector drawing tool (Simpler and easier than #inkscape ) (7) Simple document editor (I used to like #AbiWord back in the day - #LibreWriter feels very complicated to me)

@jrovu (1) not what you asked for but https://crontab.guru/ is very useful (4) i just use the file manager for sftp. one weird thing if you are using kde the location will start with 'fish' eg fish://user@server.local/path (5) kdenlive (6) libreoffice draw (but i use inkscape) (7) give calligra words a run - ymmv working with word documents though, libreoffice is much more robust.

@jrovu for sftp we have filezilla, if you buy it you get s3 and other stuff. Unfortunately it, like all other clients in Linux world, still not do multi jump sftp cos who wants useful stuff like that

@jrovu For video editor, I use Shotcut. My needs are very simple though, so I haven't explored like 90% of its features 🤣
