From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know most of you already know these apps or need something more advanced but I found them interesting so I thought I might as well share it here for those not familiar with them.

WARNING: one of the apps in the list (Plexamp) doesn't appear to be open-source so use it with caution.

My top 5 linux apps are probably something like:

Firefox
Kate
git
Steam
ls

The list in the video should have been, "Here's 5 maybe interesting apps for Linux".

Here's mine;

Also Firefox
Bottles
Geany
Tilix
Rofi

Such lists are meant to have new apps every time. Your approach makes them useless.

Calling them "Top Apps" does not indicate new apps.

I find a lot of such lists useless in any case, since it really depends on your needs.

I'm with OC on this one. Maybe call it top apps of july. But since plexamp is old, it's not a new app of july.
