This has received many Diggs since it was posted in the Ubuntu forum, but just in case you missed it, here’s a list of the “Top 100 Open-Source Linux Apps” as compiled by TheWiseNoob. It’s still being updated with installation info and additions, but this list is obviously a very helpful project — well-organized (by type of app) and comprehensive. Do you have any to add? Here are the Noob’s categories:
- BitTorrent Clients
- EyeCandy
- File Browser/Search
- Games
- Graphics and Text Viewers/Editors
- Music and Video Players
- Network Programs
- Programming IDEs
- Sound/Video Editors and Disc Burning Utilities
- Web Browsers
Feel free to submit your own Top 10 list here (one in each category?) and lobby for your favorites. Being a “noob” myself, I would be interested in your opinions; plus, even the Linux gurus among you might want to learn about some killer apps that you haven’t yet stumbled across.
