One of the best features of Gnome 3 are the dynamic workspaces. Using some simple keyboard shortcuts, it is possible to assign an application to a workspace and quickly switch between them. If you run a standard set of applications, this process makes switching between them very efficient.

http://www.brighthub.com –
File management is not a sexy job, but it is something you probably do a lot of. Nautilus, the default Gnome file manager, does a pretty good job, but it does have a few shortcomings. Of course you are not limited to Nautilus, and I have found the LXDE file manager PCMANFM quite handy. Here's why.

http://www.brighthub.com –
I have become a big fan of drop down terminal windows, modeled after the Quake console, instead of having a terminal window sitting in the background that I have to switch to for every command that I want to run. You just press a keyboard shortcut, run your command, and hide the window again.

http://www.brighthub.com –
As a Linux user I know that I should revel in sparse user interfaces and command line driven applications, but for my day to day communications, I prefer Pidgin over XChat.

http://www.brighthub.com –
Ah, the humble task list. For such a simple concept, Google has made it surprisingly difficult to use their task list service. You can pull it up in Gmail, and add it as a widget in iGoogle, but there doesn't seem to be a standard way to use the task list on it's own. Even Android users have been left out in the cold with no kind of official task list widget or app.

http://wine-reviews.net –
Wineskin 2.4 update is available. You should see it available in Wineskin Winery, as well as the manual install version at the MediaFire download location. Since Codeweavers put up source code to the Wine they used for Crossover 10.1.0 and Crossover Games 10.1.1, I went ahead and built some engines with them. I'm not sure they are drastically different than the one previous versions though...

http://www.brighthub.com –
One script that I did come across recently allows you to copy the contents of files selected in the Nautilus Gnome file browser to the clipboard. This is great for copying things like code snippets and customized email signatures for those applications that don't natively offer that functionality.
