Which software/apps do you use most on MX?

+1

Bible Analyzer is another one that has a native Linux version that looks really good. However after spending years with theWord on Windows and all the resources I've obtained and made on it, it would be hard to give up, it does everything. It basically the only reason I have Wine. I also like BibleMemorizer, I just wish it was maintained, or that there was a similar program that is.

On Windows I always used e-sword. Nice program, though some Bible versions cost money even though the program itself is free.

Maybe you can try it on MX18

The deb file installed nicely... I will give it a test run. I can use this for clipgrabbing German learning videos "für meine Enkel Söhne". Vielen dank!

fine. It's a nice tool.

Maybe a suggestion for mx-repo?

@dphn I think people would find ClipGrab an nice addition to tools like SMtube. Since you found it... I think asking to have it placed in the repos is your call. @stevo and team will certainly do an excellent job of 'vetting' it before adding it.

I always liked the Xiphos Bible program on Linux. Since I generally have a wifi connection I mostly use Bible Gateway now.

theWord has some excellent modules available. My entire setup is free except for donations, and it includes Greek/Hebrew interlinears with Strong's and morphology, which is an awesome way to dig deeper and to learn the language, and several commentaries and dictionaries. The commentaries scroll with the various Bible windows, as do the interlinear window and one Bible window I use to compare about a dozen versions in parallel on the fly. For me it's very much worth the use of Wine.

+1 -- theWord on Wine is definitely the best Bible study solution that I've found, its amazing!!! https://i.imgur.com/ZgWvQZk.png I used to use e-sword, but theWord is much better IMHO. Gone are the days of spending hundreds of $$$$ on Bible programs/modules, for me anyway.

Agree completely. The clipboard monitor also rocks. There are some features I'm sure Logos does better, but then it can be so overbearing I'm not sure it's worth it. And Logos certainly rules on content. But for my needs, theWord really does some heavy lifting. Here's my setup, the star of which is the interlinear with morphology, center-top.
