10 Most Awesome Linux Applications
I know, I know. Not another blog post that lists the “top 10 something or other”. But bear with me.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what makes a given application awesome. I use a lot of applications every day, many I couldn’t do my job without… but not all of them are awesome.
It’s hard to describe just what “awesome” is. It could be the reliability of something. Or the sheer joy it brings when you use it. Or that it does something truly unique and inspiring.
With that in mind… my list of the top 10 most awesome applications for the Linux desktop (in no particular order).

Elisa is one bad-ass media center. We’ve been covering its progress (with a fair bit of admiration) for some time on the Linux Action Show and it just keeps gettng better.
A simple, modern, attractive look and feel. Animations and visual effects in all the right spots. Lightweight, fast and handles most of our media center-type needs (music, videos and photos). It has some bugs… but it is just so cool that any rare crash is forgiven.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
