  • You can listen to FM radio with gqrx relatively easily, if you can navigate through hundreds of input boxes.

    sudo apt-get install gqrx
    

    Anything more complicated will require some coding knowledge, unless someone already created a library for that specific thing.

    There is also a ready-made package to listen to GPS signal, unfortunately it needs an external amplifier and a proper antenna, because RTL-SDR is not sensitive enough for GPS.

    I first used Matplotlib 10 years ago. It was unintuitive and very slowly redrawing the whole plot each time you tried to zoom.

    I’m using it right now, and I’m happy to report that it kept to it’s time-honored tradition - zoom is still piss-slow even on my fancy new PC with 12 cores.

    Maybe in the next 20 years, matplotlib devs will discover wonders of tile cache.

    Just grab yourself some Linux Mint, and try to ignore Arch and Gentoo crowd here.

    Half of the apps you mentioned have Linux version right in the system package manager. Davinci has Linux version on their website.

    CorelDraw might be a problem, WineHQ lists it’s compatibility for the latest version as garbage, so you will probably need to switch to Inkscape.

    Anyway, I heard about this new company called Linux

    Pedantic explanation about GNU/Linux is coming in 3… 2… 1…
