| org.pitivi.Pitivi "It has a steep learning curve and the directions are not the best. However once you get it, it is very good. I was able to merge together 3 different videos with 2 different formats, and edit out some long pauses to make a reasonble to watch video." |

| gtkperf "A great toll for comparing different desktop enviornments on the same system." |
5 |
| firewall-applet "I prefer this over UFW. ONly 4 stars because it can be a little twitchy on XFCE, works great on Cinnamon" |

| lshw-gtk "lightwieght, not as comprehensive as hardinfo, but does the job" |

| nemo "My favorite" |

| virtualbox-qt "Best, you must have the VirtualBox-base to actually work, IMHO a must have for testing other distros and upgrades before committing to them." |

| cinnamon "Not a lightweigt DE. You'll need at least 2gb RAM and a 2.4ghz cpu. Works fantastic on 3.4ghz Dual Cpu and 8gb RAM" |

| xfce4 "I like the older basic look on older machines, very low resource user, even on top of Linux Mint Cinnamon" |

| ufoai "Love this game. Too bad I suck at the missions" |

| wifi-radar "It asks for Sudo password when launched, so latest version automatically runs in superuser mode. Works fantastic on 2.4ghz adapators, but 3 stars because it hangs up and eats bandwidth alive when using a dual band adaptor." |

| cairo-dock-core "Beautiful, almost limitless configuarations. Old review below says no drag and drop. As of 2017 that feature works fine." |
5 |
| virtualbox "Works great but you really should download virtual-qt for the gui to get the most out of it." |
