| vlc "A/O 02/26/2025 this is now badly broken. Used and working great for several years. 1) noticed all my settings changed, reset & tried to watch a video, studdering playback, no full screen, jumpy video / audio OK. Tried to check with another video, all settings gone again, upper tool bar GONE, Not response no way to exit/close program but with Terminal. Shut it down, restarted, same story, settings, controls gone after 1 badly rendered video, again. My system and all else is working normaly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled but issues remain. Unusable so Uninstalled waiting for fix." |

UNINSTALLED - No Thanks, I shut this down after realizing the countdown timer's increasing estimate of 4.5 hours with less than 18 seconds o f video completed and 25 minutes of real world time had elapsed.

| plume-creator "Support/updates for this STOPPED in 2014 Just another of many ABANDONED software packages still here years after their creators walked away. WHY? Whoever is assigned to keeping this "Software Manager" up to date is NOT doing their job! USING any un-updates, decades old software IS a serious SECURITY RISK." |

| chromium "Pure Garbage! Why is this even offered here? Google disconnected from this so there is NO way to sync to a Google account. Google prompts to use Chrome with zero sync connection to this. Every time I click to open Chromium a popup stating that Keyring failed and wants me to use my system password, every time. Like I said PURE JUNK!" |

| showfsck "First the fact the an app like this is needed speaks volumns as to the "sandbox - NOT ready for prime time Linux is! Mint has a hidden countdown file checker the pops up every so many reboots and FREAKS users out with a CRASHED file system and if thats not enough, NO 'CLICK HERE" FIX...REALLY?? MS XP's "Blue Screen" did. Installed and the "number of mounts" does not show. I've uninstalled and reinstalled plus rebooted many times, nothing. This needs work, update, something. Running Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon on a Lenovo Thinkpad T530" |

| thunderbird "Get back to basics! T-bird is not google friendly, google does not like T-bird or any intergration to non-google, so quite trying! Be T-bird, a Stand Alone email client. My review - Overly complicated, functions are poorly coordinated, calendar's google intergration misses 1/2 functionalty. I used Thunderbird but the last several versions have become progressively disfunctional, poorly intergrated and just plain glitched. Change for change sake - Useablity be damned. Uninstalled" |
