Rebuild My Home - 02 Office
Many people say that Ubuntu is not fit for Office work. I do not agree. Here I will introduce some apps to you and teach you how to install them.
Netease Music
Hmm, no music no life.
You can download from Netease Homepage
And you can find a Linux version.

And now I can build my Ubuntu with beautiful music.
WPS
WPS Office is a perfect office on linux. You can write documents, make PPTs very fluently with its help.
You can download here:
I prefer using DEB file for installation.

You might meet some trouble here, if your Ubuntu is a grand new one.
You might meet error information like:

|
This means you need to install 'libgtk2.0-common'. If there are other errors, you can solve by fix-broken.
Just like this:

After fix gtk dependencies, you can redo the install step by
executing sudo dpkg -i xxx
Typora
As a Markdown lover, I cannot live without an elegant markdown editor.
You can follow the installation steps on their home page.
By the way I don't like the default theme in Typora at all.
You can choose your favorite style in Typora theme.
I prefer using Ursine.
Download from Github
release. You can get a zip file after downloading. Unzip it and copy
all the file in Ursine folder
into your
Typora Theme Folder
. Mostly, you can find it at
~/.config/Typora/themes
. Also, you can find it in your
Typora Settings, File > Settings > Appearance > Theme
Folder.
Chrome
Well, I think I needn't to introduce Chrome.
Sogou Pinyin
As a Chinese, I cannot avoid inputing Chinese sometimes. However I recommend Sogou pinyin not only for typing Chinese. Besides,Sogou pinyin has English spell hint function. I like it very much.
However, install Sogou pinyin is a little difficult.
Firstly, you need install Fcitx as a frame to hole Sogou pinyin.

And then download Sogou here: Sogou pinyin for linux
Use sudo dpkg -i
to install it.
Now open settings panel, choose Region & Language
and click Manage Installed language
.
Here you can install Chinese language configure for your computer. And you should choose Keyboard input method system to fcitx.
Next step is reboot. After rebooting your computer, you can find a keyboard like icon.
And now it's time to add input method.
However I have another important thing to share with you. As a
programmer, I frequently use shift
on my keyboard. But
after using fcitx, shift
will change your input language,
and it is really annoying.
Here is a tutorial about how to disable shift
:
Fcitx setting is saved here:
~/.config/fcitx/config
Edit it, here are enough information about every configure in fcitx.
Finally, do not forget to lock it.

chmod -w config
Snap store
Here I am going to install a series of apps by using snap store system. It's really convenient to install through snap.
I will list out here:
Shotcut
Free, cross-platform, open source video editor
VLC player
The ultimate media player
MailSpring
My favorite email client
GNU Image Manipulation Program
PS for ubuntu
Pandoc
pandoc is a really powerful tool for documentations formats converting.
Download DEB file and install it is okay.
Dia
An convenient app to draw almost all kinds of simple graphs you need.
It's just like VISIO in linux.

Also there is a QQ-for-linux you can easily install by 'apt install'.
However, it is really awful: easily to get unconnected and you can only scan the QR code to login.
So I recommend wine-QQ.
