|---|---|
| inkscape "Excellent software for drawing but difficult to use sometimes" |

| python "Python is a programming language which gives you countless and unlimited possibilities. You can use to do whatever you want" |
5 |
| python-scipy "Simply great. A comprehensive library for the development of scientific and technical tools in Python" |
5 |

| pcmanfm "I use it with the Openbox window manager and everything works perfectly. It's a really amazing file manager and incredibly lightweight" |
5 |
| nautilus "Nautilus is the standard file manager for the Gnome desktop. It is a good tool with plenty of configuration possibilities. However, I have the feeling it is slow and heavy from time to time. PCManFM can be be a valid alternative, especially if your hardware is not so recent" |

| openbox "Very fast and light and good. The official window manager of LXDE targeted for hardware with low resources" |

5 |
