Alternatives to Windows software: the best applications for Linux
Recommendations for the best applications for Linux.
Alternatives to Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, web browsers, tools, software, etc.
These recommendations can usually be installed from your application manager by searching for the application name. In my case, I use them on Manjaro Linux.
If it doesn’t appear, look for information on the application’s official website about how to install it on your Linux distribution.
TRICK: Want to find a program quickly?
