Linux Voice Introduction

Article from Issue 302/2026

This month in Linux Voice.

In you're old enough, you remember the days when your parent (or at least, the parent of somebody in your neighborhood) would pin a handwritten list of chores to the refrigerator with a pencil dangling from a string. Nowadays, you can let your trusty computer manage the tasks. Linux has lots of task and time tracker tools, each tailored for a different use case. If you don't want to bother with a separate application, it is easy enough to track your work assignments with a spreadsheet or calendar app. But why not look around for the app that fits you best? This month we take a look at Donetick, a task manager designed for tracking household chores. Also in this month's Linux Voice, you'll learn about Linux job control, an old-school feature that can still help you out in a pinch.
