====== Desktop applications ======

For a consistent look and feel, many desktop environment provide their own basic tools for common desktop tasks. Whereas it is possible to mix them, you may be in for surprises.

This table is for Fedora 20-23. When running applications on the RHEL machines (compute nodes and servers), not all of these will be available.

^ Desktop ^ KDE ^ Gnome ^ Cinnamon ^ Mate ^ XFCE ^ LXDE ^ Other ^
| Preferences | system-settings | gnome-control-center\\ gnome-tweak-tool | cinnamon-control-center | mate-*-properties | xfce4-settings-manager | | |
| File manager | dolphin | nautilus | nemo | caja | Thunar | pcmanfm | |
| Terminal | konsole | gnome-terminal | (mate-terminal) | mate-terminal | xfce4-terminal | lxterminal | xterm
| Editor | kwrite | gedit | xed | pluma | leafpad | leafpad | emacs, nedit | 
| PS/PDF viewer | okular \\ karbon | evince | xreader | atril | | | acroread, gv \\ qpdfview |
| Image viewer | gwenview | eog | (eom) | eom | | gpicview | xv |

Applications listed in parentheses are not officially part of that desktop, but they may be the best match in terms of look and feel, and functionality.
