   Something that's just more fun offline is focused, absorbed reading. For this I find Calibre a wonderful software, which can turn webcontent into e-books. The built-in feature to fetch news from newspapers sites used to be really great as well. Since more and more content disappears behind pay walls, it's not that useful anymore. I went back to rss feeds for that.

     I'm giving a talk this evening on FOSS to a rural, non-technical audience with often patchy internet. They are particularly interested in offline alternatives to cloud-based proprietaty software. I want to give some recommendations that are relatively easy to install and use.

     I'm leading with LibreOffice for day-to-day; GIMP, Scribus and Inkscape for design; Shotcut for video editing; Tenacity for audio; Zim for home wiki. Any fairly robust and useful software that I may not have considered?
