It's a paid software, and the paid software was provided to the video creator for free. I only have one suggestion. Please provide such information in the beginning of the video.
Hi Anindya, Thank you for your suggestion. I will keep this in mind for the future videos. However, I marked this video as a paid promotion. There was a pop-up in the UA-cam player at the beginning of the video. Didn't you see it?
There was a popup notification, that this is video is a paid promotion...
He probably has Ad-Block Like I do. So yeah, that is his fault. LucidChart is another good alternative and works in browser.
That looks awesome, thanks for the share.
You are very welcome, Rob!
Haha, funny thing was this was specifically requested for one of the courses I was taking. Definitely made making charts easy. Nice to know it's featured on this channel. 😆
Hi ki2ne, Thank you for your comment. It is nice to hear that this program is getting popular. I found out about it only when Edraw approached me. It is a really cool program. Too bad it is difficult to make the same feature-rich program as an open-source program. May I ask what course was that? Just curious?
Average Linux User It was a business-oriented systems analysis course that at one point we did a number of graphs - flow charts for programming, and a chart mapping out the design/layout of the database for the projects/assignments we were given.
Thank you for the reply.
Hello ALU! During my studies I used Dia which doesn't have all the features of Edraw but is totally free! I used it for microcontrollers and sensors when I had to make the workflow of a program. But for diagrams yEd is fantastic!
Cheers.
I also used and keep using many open-source programs. I do professional graphics in R, but it requires a lot of learning the language. I also use Inkscape and Libreoffice Impress. For one who doesn't want or don't have time to learn all these programs, Edraw Max can be a solution.
Gonna have to check it out
Sure, there is a free trial version.
What an amazing piece of software!
Hi technavneet, Thank you watching the video and giving a feedback.
Great video! Which icon pack is the one with the blue firefox that you use on the end?
You will find the answer in this video ua-cam.com/video/dQh-VxkNZKA/v-deo.html
Average Linux User Thanks for the answer. I found it now. 😀 Keep up your great videos!
You are very welcome
Mind blowing software, channel subscribed.
Thank you very much for this great video
Nice. We need software like this on Linux
its not free :/
Mani Zaeim Nothing on Linux is dictated to be strictly free-of-charge, despite the amount of software being released as such. If you game on Linux, Steam and GOG has a bunch of games and software that requires you to pay money for.
ki2ne it was ur judgment of my comments. I didnt say so!
Well, that face looked like a frown of complaint, so excuse my "jumping to conclusions".
It would have been fantastic if it was free. But it is extremly difficult to maintain such project as open-source. I am a supporter and defender of open-source, but open-source is not free either. Someone spend time working on it, and usually that time was not paid or was paid at very low rate. Besides, there are many programs people would be happy to pay for if there were Linux versions. Adobe suite is just one example. I constantly get comments like "I like Linux but keep dual-booting because I need Photoshop, Lightroom, illustrator etc." More choice won't hurt Linux, I believe Linux will only benefit form it. Would you disagree?
This is amazing!
Thank you for the comment. It is an impressive program indeed.
Obrigado por compartilhar.
Amazing! Tried to install under Antergos Arch LInux from the AUR but I get the error: array options contains unknown option '!upx'
Any ideas? I installed the upx programm but that didn't solve the problem
Sven Schröder I just tried removing the upx option, and it builds.
You might want to look at the Github version of the PKGBUILD (mentioned in the comments on the edrawmax AUR page) as the one on the AUR is the Chinese-language release.
thanks. that worked for me too.
Hi ki2ne, Thank you for helping others. I appreciate it so much. It is really difficult for me to reply the comment promptly.
What is the GTK theme and the shell theme ??
I showed it in this video ua-cam.com/video/dQh-VxkNZKA/v-deo.html
Willing to pay for it
What's the best and simple rolling release for new users?
Hello Loyalty! Normally, a rolling release is not intended for a new user. Now all depends on the kind of new user. If this new user is willing to learn and to do some research on the internet when he'll get issues then he can try a rolling release.
Which one is difficult to answer. It depends on the needs/wishes of this new user. Gentoo offers you the greatest choice but also the greatest challenge.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or Siduction are good distributions, not that difficult.
For Arch I would recommend Arcolinux or Arcolinuxd to begin with. When you feel comfortable you can go the pure Arch way.
Slackware current is also quite challenging.
None will be "simple" If you have no Linux background I would suggest to begin with a fixed release distribution until you have enough knowledge to migrate to a rolling release model.
Serge is right. a rolling release is not intended for new users. If you really need a user-friendly rolling distro, I believe Manjaro is a good option.
I'm back to Arch Linux!
thanks. but i use only free software.
and use libreoffice draw or dia and thier are a many other software like draw.io and pencil project...
note:i mean freedom not free
I absolutely respect your choice.
I do try to use free(dom-respecting) software as much as possible, unless the situation calls for it and/or no alternatives. I've done my papers and spreadsheets with LibreOffice, used GIMP (exclusively; never learned to use Photoshop) for a variety of projects, including a flyer for school. I used gcc at home and MinGW+MSYS on school computers for an introductory C++ class.
It's possible to leave with opensource software only. I have done my whole PhD exclusively using open source. But some open source programs have a steep learning curve.
That's why we need, besides producing software, sharing knowledge. I moved from Windows and I only use open source today, but I have difficulties to learn how to do some things that I used to do on Microsoft Office on LibreOffice, for example, and It's really hard to find content for this on the web. I'm really gratefull when someone share something he/she is good at.
But how to uninstall it?
Watch the full video. I showed the installation process at 6:38
245 USD!!! there are a bunch of other software such as MS-Office (web), lucid chart and ... which is much cheaper.
Lucid chart costs you $119 for 1 year and $245 for two years, but Edraw Max is $245 for lifetime use.
It is free and cloud base, unless the user wants to have more than 3 diagrams and then it is only 8USD per month which cost 96USD per year (not to mention for full features & it is cloud base, they have 4USD per month as well), I don't have any doubt that EDrawMax is a great piece of software and it is desktop application(may be java based) but charging 170USD for none profitable is very expensive. MS-Office 365 which include vsio and bunch of other office suite is even cheaper! here you can find almost all great alternative to Visio alternativeto.net/software/microsoft-visio/
Yes, I agree the products you mentioned are good to use as Visio alternatives.. My point is if you use them for one or two years, they are cheap. But if you continue to use them for years, the cost will be higher as they charge you every year... For example, every year 96USD, then after 3 years is 288USD... Anyway, I think it's all about our consuming habit, whether you want to pay it little by little, or together in once...
I doubt running Windows or Mac will be cheaper in a long term. Edraw Max isn't cheap, I agree. But it depends on your use. If you need it everyday, it is very cheap. If you do some graphic work once a month, maybe using some open-source products is preferable for you.
no i didnt say so, I am 100% agree with you about ur opinion on EdRaw max, I am using linux since 2001 as main desktop started with redhat9, I am not microsoft user, and I dont use any single microsoft product, except Xbox one :)) lol and github(unfortunately microsoft bought it) but you can use office 360 on the web, I dont use any adobe software (as I just simply dont know how to use it) but if they develop linux version, it would be great. I like to see permium software on linux, simply just because the community will grow up and that woul be helpful. even Atlasian didnt release their sourcetree(git client) for Linux which is free, just because the linux desktop users community are not that large, and one of the problem is a companies such as microsoft or adobe they didnt release native software for linux, I really do admire Edraw for their effort, but 179 usd for NONE profitable usres is too high compare to other compatitors.
but it is NOT free
draw.io
It is a free alternative but it's not that powerful and doesn't have all templates and graphics
wont buy...
Andres, thank you watching any way.
