I know that lots of the people choose to use open source software for their productive purposes. Linux is a vast ocean of open source apps. It’s easy to get lost in this ocean, and is even hard to find out about some great applications that are out there.
Thus, I hope that this modest list will help someone to discover a new application that they will love.
