Firejail


One of the programs I tried really hard to get working in the beta versions of PELinux64 was Firejail. Unfortunately I didn't have much luck:


I'd rather not be forced into a sandbox with snaps and flatpacks. If the apps are trusted (by me not Microsoft) I'd rather have the freedom to use many of them together in new and unique ways (the original/real definition of hacking) that the author probably didn't predict and may not even like.

BleachBit

Another program included in every version of PELinux and PELinux64 is BleachBit. I use it after every web surfing session. It even deletes annoying registry keys under Windoze.

Collabora Office

The first three versions of PELinux (32-bit R1, Murdock Edition and R2) used kernel 3.18 from Collabora. And all versions of PELinux and PELinux64 come with LibreOffice pre-installed, including all database drivers.

Well now there's a free version of the LibreOffice-based Collabora Office for Android. It's fully compatible with all Open Document Format files. You can get it on your phone from Google's Play Store, so you know it's safe.

I think there's an IOS version too but since I no longer own any Apple devices can't say for sure.
