Another important feature for users is the ability to import Microsoft Office documents. Even though all office suites have this feature, only OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are functional enough for daily use.

The equivalent applications for Qt are KDevelop by KDE (in the <emphasis role="pkg">kdevelop</emphasis> package) for the development environment, and Qt Designer (in the <emphasis role="pkg">qttools5-dev-tools</emphasis> package) for the design of graphical interfaces for Qt applications.

Anjuta (in the <emphasis role="pkg">anjuta</emphasis> package) and GNOME Builder (in the <emphasis role="pkg">gnome-builder</emphasis> package) are Integrated Development Environments (<acronym>IDE</acronym>) optimized for creating GTK+ applications for GNOME. Glade (in the <emphasis role="pkg">glade</emphasis> package) is an application designed to create GTK+ graphical interfaces for GNOME and save them in an XML file. These XML files can then be loaded by the GTK+ shared library through its <literal>GtkBuilder</literal> component to recreate the saved interfaces; such a feature can be interesting, for instance for plugins that require dialogs. <ulink type="block" url="https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Builder" /> <ulink type="block" url="https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps(2f)Anjuta.html" /> <ulink type="block" url="https://glade.gnome.org/" />

The rationale behind this renaming was a result of the usage rules imposed by the Mozilla Foundation on the <trademark>Firefox</trademark> registered trademark: any software named Firefox had to use the official Firefox logo and icons. However, since these elements were not released under a free license, Debian could not distribute them in its <emphasis>main</emphasis> section. Rather than moving the whole browser to <emphasis>non-free</emphasis>, the package maintainer chose to use a different name.

The graphical interface only provides display space. Running the X server by itself only leads to an empty screen, which is why most installations use a <emphasis>display manager</emphasis> to display a user authentication screen and start the graphical desktop once the user has authenticated. The three most popular display managers in current use are <emphasis role="pkg">gdm3</emphasis> (<foreignphrase>GNOME Display Manager</foreignphrase>), <emphasis role="pkg">sddm</emphasis> ( <foreignphrase>Simple Desktop Display Manager</foreignphrase>, suggested for KDE Plasma) and <emphasis role="pkg">lightdm</emphasis> (<foreignphrase>Light Display Manager</foreignphrase>). More alternatives exist and can be found by searching for the <emphasis role="pkg">x-display-manager</emphasis> virtual package.

The <literal>nouveau</literal> project aims to develop a free software driver for NVIDIA cards and is the default driver that you get for those cards in Debian. In general, its feature set and performance do not match the proprietary driver. In the developers' defense, we should mention that the required information can only be gathered by reverse engineering, which makes things difficult. The free drivers for AMD/ATI video cards, called <literal>radeon</literal> and <literal>amdgpu</literal>, are much better in that regard although it often requires non-free firmware from the <emphasis role="pkg">firmware-amd-graphics</emphasis> package.

If you still end up with such a card, you will find the required packages in the <emphasis>non-free</emphasis> section: <emphasis role="pkg">nvidia-driver</emphasis> for NVIDIA cards. It requires a matching kernel module. Building this module can be automated by installing the package <emphasis role="pkg">nvidia-kernel-dkms</emphasis>.

Since the IRC protocol is very old, many clients are available to cater for many user groups; examples include HexChat, and Smuxi (graphical clients based on GTK+), Irssi (text mode), Circe (integrated to Emacs), and so on.

Jitsi requires no client other than a web browser. It supports encrypted calls, and there is a huge list of public instances. There is no official Debian package for Jitsi, but it can be downloaded from their official website.
