  • I am also a noob, but here is how I think it is: What your Computer is doing is not what you see. Until now we were using an oldschool way to display stuff called X11 aka. Xorg.

    But this is very old and has 3 problems:

    • It is very old and hard to improve (code very complex, spagetthi, whatever)
    • Has security problems (I dont know what or how)
    • No modern features yet (HDR, and so on)

    Because people want to use new display features to work and security, people built this display software code whatever new from scratch. And this is Wayland.

    Spark
    The one Email App that made me from not seeing trough my emails at all, to managing all of them easily. I can only recommend it. Is also available for almost all other platforms, except Linux :(

    HiPer Calc
    Really good calculator, that can also do a lot of scientific stuff (Matrices, plot Graphs, solve for values, etc. Everything I needed in maths at university). I study and teach maths and it is really great for both.

    Calender
    I have all my events and schedules in the standard Samsung Calender App. Sadly they are spread on various accounts and some only saved locally.
    If I could save them all in one place would be great, since if I look up my Calender in for example my computer, I cant be sure if everything is in there.
    I have a huge calendar widget with a monthly and listed view on a side of my home screen, which is very useful.

    Quillpad
    My current go to Markdown Editor for Android. I would like to switch to Obsidian to have everything in one place, but not the case yet.

    Firefox
    Use the install or whatever called feature to have websites as app like Icons on your homescreen. Very useful. 👍

    Feem
    Transfer Files between devices quickly. I would be glad for open source Alternatives, but I am mostly settled on Feem now.

    PDF’s
    I have a few Apps for opening and viewing PDF Files, which is really useful. That way I can open different Documents in each and switch between them very quickly.

    I also use the Zoom and Moodle App, since I am a Student and they are ok.
