| slingshot "Original concept. Nice as a quick 2-player game." |
4 |
| laby "Nice, but somehow I still prefer RUR-PLE." |
3 |
| hatari "Great emulator." |
5 |
| freecol "Great game! Just miss a simultaneous play multiplayer feature. Waiting for other players to finish their turns in multiplayer tests one's patience." |
4 |
| neverputt "Wonderful little game." |
5 |
| pingus "Well made." |
5 |
| dosbox "It's actually easier to get my games working through DosBox than it was in MS-DOS itself (because of all the memory management fiddling). For easy installation, I've repackaged my old games in .deb files that depend on DosBox." |
5 |
| libreoffice-impress "I use it for all my presentations, but usually export to PDF as not all conference computers have LibreOffice installed." |
5 |
| scite "Still the best text editor I know of." |
5 |
| supertuxkart "Great game once you remove the levitating gnu and the devilish beastie cars (in the /usr/share/games/supertuxkart/data/karts folder). Love the split-screen multiplayer. Would be perfect if network play was added some day." |
5 |
| sound-juicer "Neat tool for getting FLAC files from my audio CDs." |
4 |
| soundconverter "Handy tool!" |
4 |
| inkscape "It has become one of my most frequently used software tools. Once you master it, it is really powerful!" |

| lemonpos "Can't get this application started on Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon. Looks like I haven't got all the packages to get the database connection to work. It's originally developed for KDE." |

| youtube-dl "Good command-line tool. Easy to use. Can resume interrupted downloads." |
4 |
| dirdiff "Needs to be launched from the command line, and hasn't been updated for years... But it still works and is the best GUI tool I have found so far for comparing similar folder structures like originals with backups." |
3 |
| mdbtools-gmdb "Important companion to mdbtools. Gives you the GUI." |
3 |
| mdbtools "You get the GUI by installing mdbtools-gmdb. It is meant for extracting data from MS Access tables, but will not run queries, show forms and reports, or edit data." |
3 |
| sqlitebrowser "Very handy little tool. Allows me to read config files of many different softwares, like firefox and skype." |
4 |
| triplea "Good strategy game" |

| qgis "This is a good tool for GIS work at intermediate level." |

| opendict "Simple but does its job, and works offline with the dict-freedict-* packages" |
4 |
| gnome-dictionary "A good desktop dictionnary should also be installed off-line, so it can be accessed at any moment." |

| claws-mail "together with sylpheed, the only client i found that lets you skip having local folders altogether. which is great when you run on a netbook, and don't want your mails stored there permanently." |
