Linux offers a broad selection of free productivity applications available as both graphical and command-line tools. Common categories include office suites, groupware, PDF creators and editors, image editors, file managers, content management systems, to-do lists, and project management software. Many lesser-known apps complement popular packages such as LibreOffice and GIMP. ManuSkript is a free, open-source application for composing novels, plays, TV/film scripts, and complex manuscripts. Features include an outline, distraction-free editor, a non-AI assistant, storylines, analysis, index cards, and Snowflake-method guidance that builds projects from a single sentence to full summaries and worldbuilding. Flatpak installation is available.
To assume those are the only productivity tools available would be a mistake, as there are so many to choose from. What you use depends on your needs, so the collection of apps you use will likely differ from those I prefer. Even so, there are so many Linux apps to choose from, some of which are much lesser-known than the likes of LibreOffice or GIMP. You might be surprised to know that some of those obscure apps are really quite helpful.
ManuSkript is a tool for writers. This free, open-source app is great for those looking to embark on writing their first novel, play, TV/film script, or just about any complicated manuscript. ManuSkript includes features like an outline, distraction-free writing, an assistant (not AI), storylines, analysis, index cards, and more. ManuSkript follows the Snowflake method, which is a ten-step process for writing a novel that asks you questions, each of which builds on the others. It also guides you through this process.
