Software reviews
| Software | Score |
|---|---|
| anki "Great for learning vocabulary for new languages. It keeps track of all your words, so you don't forget to review any. Nice graphs to show your progress, too." |
5 |
| audacity "A great audio editor. So many features, and it does a brilliant job." |
5 |
| asunder "A great CD ripper. My drive isn't the best, but Asunder takes time to read the disk properly and produce a good result." |
5 |
| python-pyglet "A very nice game library. Lets you make 2D games and also gives you full access to OpenGL so you can write 3D games in Python." |
5 |
| chocolate-doom "This is exactly how I remember it. Even today, not much comes close to Doom. Absolutely brilliant!" |
5 |
| python-matplotlib "The best plotting library I've found for Python. Has a steep learning curve if you need precise control, but can do just about anything. I've published charts in scientific journals using matplotlib, and they looked great." |

| luckybackup "Good tool. Can be confusing to set up, but once it's done, backing up is super easy." |

| mintbackup "It's a shame it doesn't end up doing anything. It has such a nice, simple interface." |

| brasero "The interface is easy to use, but it threw an error instantly and wrecked my DVD, so I'll use Xfburn from now on." |

| blender "It's hard to believe you can use a program this brilliant without paying for it. Blender is one of my favourite open source programs." |
5 |
| conky-all "If you put in the time to learn how to use it, the possibilities are endless. It gives you so much power to customise your desktop, it's hard to know where to start." |
5 |
| calibre "Easy to use, helps you get the job done without getting in the way. Everything software should be." |
5 |
| exaile "Very nice. This has taken over from Banshee for me. I especially like that you can import from your media library or from folders, and have multiple playlists open at the same time in different tabs." |

| gpointing-device-settings "Segmentation fault on Mint 16. Seems like what I need, but won't run." |
