| calibre "DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS! As specified on their official website, download the OFFICIAL latest release. At this time it is 4.11.2 which is MUCH newer." |

| transmission-gtk "Transmission often has a lot of serious issues e.g. version 2.9.2 which is banned on almost all trackers. The code should be checked more thoroughly and it should not come pre-installed with Mint or any other Linux OS." |

| thunderbird "Should not be pre-installed on Mint under any circumstances. Why is this still packaged with so many OS?" |

| whatsapp-desktop "Pointless. It's literally just a wrapper for web.whatsapp.com I'd rather just use a browser than install unnecessary software. Should be removed." |

| rhythmbox "Eh it's basically Foobar2000 but with less customisation." |

| laptop-mode-tools "lmt-config-gui returns: "ImportError: No module named PySide.QtGui" i.e. the GUI does not work." |

| spotify-client "Spotify really needs to add Hi-Fi lossless quality music. " |

| dropbox "Does not work with drives formatted for LVM. So doesn't work on LVM or encrypted LVM drives. Utterly useless for those of us who use encryption." |

| org.signal.Signal "Works well however if you hide the 'Menu' from preferences, it's impossible to show the menu again or get back into the preferences to enable it again. Whilst having it enabled it also doesn't respect the 'Dark Theme' option." |

| com.slack.Slack "Missing some features available on Windows but I am still very grateful for a native Linux version and of course the ability to install through software manager. Thanks!" |

| org.gnome.Lollypop "Seriously... 2.1GB? A music player that takes 2.1GB? Foobar2000 is like 60MB. What right does this software think it has to use as much storage as 10 albums in lossless .flac? Sure I appreciate the design but it's hardly 'feature rich' or anything. Mostly resembles the very first version of iTunes but with album art icons instead of a list. Something needs to be done about the size of the app though. Really!" |

| skypeforlinux "Skype on Linux really has no right to take up the kind of space that it does. It's a shame to see Microsoft not care about Linux or their own software." |
