tagtool

5
pulseaudio
"By removing pulseaudio I fixed all my sound problems."
1
gnome-alsamixer
"Has been very useful for me."

5
mintbackup
"Just what I needed."
5
assaultcube
"Runs fast, easy to learn. A bit boring. Too GREY!!"

qlix

4
handbrake-gtk
"Excellent. Good documentation."
5
mintinstall

3

2
computer-janitor-gtk
"Haven't had problems with this"
4
easytag

5
eog
"Simple, fast and does it's job. I only miss the ability to crop."
4
openoffice.org
"Huge bloat."
3
k3b
"The best. A little sluggish interface (reminds me of windows) but maybe that's because I use it on gnome."
5
brasero
"Like the clean interface but...this just doesn't work! Many times I have 'unknown error' or audio cd comes out bad."
2
openarena
"I prefer this over Nexuiz. Smoother gameplay and works on an older machine too. If you want singleplayer get this."
5
transmission
"Uses a lot less memory than Deluge, not cluttered with unnecessary options. Down speed about the same."
5
transmission-gtk
"I did a little test with Transmission and Deluge and now I have to update my review. Deluge uses much more memory and is complicated with unnecessary options. Down speed was about the same. In the long run Transmission downloaded more."
5
deluge
"Too many unnecessary options. Uses seven times more memory than Transmission. Not faster or slower than Transmission."
3
f-spot
