Open Source Visio alternative

What is the name of a good Visio like program for Linux or even Windows that would be good for diagramming a network? I’ve seen the one Tom uses, but I’ve never seen the name of the program shown or mentioned.

Don’t remember what @LTS_Tom was using. I can say it 100 times but does not come up at this time.

Draw.io is online and works fine. And also very popular.

The one Tom uses is yED

Tom uses yED (https://www.yworks.com/products/yed) and that’s what I’ve been using too. I really like it, though I can’t compare it with Visio as I’ve never used Visio.

Honestly, I’ve never used Visio either. I just know it can be used for that

I started using draw.io through Nextcloud, works great. If you already have nextcloud instance running, give it a try.

Try DIA it is in most repositories on the most common desktop distros.
