| mint-flashplugin "Every update I get 2 failure messages. Still trying to avoid the Adobe flash though, so hoping for a fix to this." |
1 |
| calibre "Looks good. Concerning that no newer version is in the distro repository, but this old one is." |
4 |
| pdftk "Can be useful. I tried it to fill in a PDF form, but the file seems to be a mess." |
4 |
| pdfedit "Very so so compared to its Windows version. Hope this improves quickly. Not very useful at this point, I still copy the files to USB and work in Windows, then copy them back..." |

| xmountains "Interesting. Needed to start from commandline, not menu. Export to?" |
3 |
| fractgen "Basic but nice. Had to start it from command line, not menu." |
3 |
| qtcreator "I need to move on from Tk, and learn to develop for Linux properly. This is the recommended tool." |
4 |
| xaos "Great fun, controls are out of the way but fairly obvious - F1=Help, Q=Quit." |
5 |
| fracplanet "Well organized software, easy to use. Control over the number of polygons would be valuable to create more detailed planets." |
4 |
| fraqtive "Very nice, smooth and fast." |
5 |
| gnome-commander "My initial joy of finding this has faded. It has a 1980's look and kludgy functionality." |
3 |
| tuxcmd "Useful and UI fits modern usage." |
4 |
| lombard "Basic and not always as stable as it should be." |
4 |
| brasero "Click to start, Brasero says "No". Well then, uninstall, bye-bye." |
1 |
| k3b "Does what I want the way I want it." |
5 |
| xpad "Simple and effective for small, quick notes." |
4 |
| rhinote "Nice-ish, but I found xpad was a closer fit to my needs." |
3 |
| luckybackup "Backups should be this simple, and effective. Great GUI on top of tried, tested and trusted Unix utils." |
5 |
| ltris "Is there a place to turn OFF multiplayer?" |
3 |
| tint "Cool, compact, commandline. Refreshingly retro." |
5 |
| filelight "Awesome tool for KDE, where I use Gnome and use the equivalent there." |
5 |
| baobab "Just discovered this, while finding OverDisk for my legacy XP box. This is awesome!!" |
5 |
| lm-sensors "Basic "service" to feed data to apps that do the display work. My temps seem to report way above reality though (HP i7 laptop)." |
3 |
| samba "Comes with the standard install which is just perfect." |
5 |
| system-config-samba "Made the config easier than the already relatively easy, thank you." |
5 |
| gpicview "Packs a punch for its tiny size. I am impressed." |
5 |
| geeqie "Nice, quick, simple. Worth a look as it may work for you. Update [Mar 2013]: removed it as it got in my way." |
4 |
| gnome-activity-journal "Could e great, if I saw more than just blank screens (histogram shows X items - but no details available). LinuxMint Maya Cinnamon 64bit." |
2 |
| scite "One of the nicest editors around. The Win alternative, Notepad++ is based on Scite. For the perfect editor I would marry Scite and Geany (which can't handle multiple files as Scite does)." |
5 |
| posterazor "Easy to use and very useful." |
5 |
| bibletime "Very nice to see a good native Linux app in this space." |
5 |
| mirage "I tried it and found it slow and lumpy. It also seemed to affect an original file which turned out was still fine on the disk, but the UI made it look like the original was gone and had been overwritten. That was the last chance as I cannot afford that sort of heart-attack in my workflow, not for me." |
1 |
| wine "Must have to run Irfanview. It is a pain to set up "just right" though, but then that is the MS.Win legacy, confusion." |
3 |
| widelands "My kids figured out this game in a few minutes and are absolutely stuck there since then. "Better than minecraft" they say." |
5 |
| qalculate "Was recommended and I agree, its good." |
4 |
| speedcrunch "Very cool." |
5 |
| audacity "This is one of my favourite applications. More than enough for my simple needs." |
5 |
| keepassx "Indispensable. I love this application." |
5 |
| meld "Works nicely." |
5 |
| digikam "Growing to like this even over GiMP. Intuitive GUI (rare) and makes photo editing and management as fun as it can be." |
5 |
| kipi-plugins "I found the expro blending worked very nicely for me, thank you." |
5 |
| qtpfsgui "Strange name, seems to be the GUI glue over several bits of software? Does the job well and helped me move another major piece of photography workflow over to Linux." |
5 |
| pysolfc "110% addicted to hexaklon, the other 999.. so what." |
4 |
| mapivi "One of the rare applications that work with IPTC, EXIF and JPeG Comments. Interface is Tk, so very dated and clunky." |
3 |
| pyrenamer "File renaming done right. Thank you." |
4 |
| banshee "Don't like it for numerous reasons. Remove from default install please." |

| mintnanny "/etc/hosts approach is too global, need per-user white list black list etc." |
2 |
| pinta "100% rocks!!! Yay, I eventuallyfound it in Software Manager. Should be featured much higher and more visibly because it is a great application." |
5 |
| mtpaint "Trying a simple resize (failed) with one image was enough. Not mature enough for quick and easy usage. I didn't see Pinta in the Software Manager, it is 100x better." |

| f-spot "Tried it. Not up to the job. Maybe in a few versions..." |
