| rsnapshot "This is not a utility for average users. For experienced Unix systems administrators this is the gold standard." |

| com.github.Anuken.Mindustry "So good, I was thinking about paying for it but then they added an additional planet!" |

| hexchat "The issue is not hexchat, but the moderators of the official Linux Mint IRC channel. When you point out a friend of the moderator is spamming others, they will ban you." |

| openshot-qt "not open" |

| quiterss "Needs a flatpak version or version using same version of QT as Mint, otherwise disable JavaScript or crashing problems." |
2 |
| io.atom.Atom "It seems like every software to run properly needs this new "flatpak" install type. Each "flatpak" install is basically the size of an OS ISO. Who is the asshole that thinks this is a good idea and who is forcing the rest of us to adopt it?" |

| gnote "I have it running all of the time and never a problem." |

| sticky "Minimal keyboard shortcuts means navigation is nearly 100% mouse." |

| ssvnc "Can't find evidence the project is maintained. Last update to Sourceforge in 2011. Dev site gone. Why stilil in repos..." |

| qpdfview "Can't highlight text or select text. Can create "select box" and text under box gets copied. If you intend to copy text, this is not a good option. Does offer annotation/note option. Still stuck using SumatraPDF in wine." |

| notepadqq "**IMPORTANT** Unsaved cached tabs disappear without warning between login sessions. Spontaneous crashes lose all unsaved data. This is alpha quality. https://imgur.com/a/6DCG5K6" |

| pinta "crashes" |

| xed "One step above original Microsoft Notepad because it has tabs. However, changing tabs cannot be done from the keyboard, as with every other tabbed application." |

| simple-scan "Simple and immediately able to scan. Wishlist: grayscale scanning - it's fast and makes smaller files for emailing." |
5 |
| pulseaudio "Unusual to see pulseaudio consuming less than 20% cpu even when there is nothing active on the computer." |

| com.notepadqq.Notepadqq "It is largely very competitive for me with Notepad++ to the point that I haven't bothered installing Notepad++ (using wine). It retains most of my favorite features, especially Ctrl+Alt to move margins of multiple rows. It also uses a default monospace typeface with unambiguous characters. The only minor issue is that it does not alert me if I have altered a document, such as changing color of the save icon." |

| pychess "Crashes all the time." |

| wine-installer "All I needed was Office 2010 so I could get Word and Excel. I did the following on Mint Cinnamon 19: 1. Created img file using dd 2. Extracted img file INSIDE .../drive_c 3. double-clicked setup.exe and ran install program" |
