What are the best software in Ubuntu for different applications? I never found any such lists as we can see in the case of Windows. I think that'd be very helpful for new users. May be we can have a list with two or three programs for different applications based on their quality or performance.

1Sorry, but big-list opinion-poll questions are not a good fit to Stack Exchange. – muru Mar 15 '15 at 06:52

1well..I didn't mean a big list, just for the basic needs to get a better picture for beginners..I'm truly sorry if it does not comply with the rules of this forum. – Sooraj S Mar 15 '15 at 07:02

2Well, it would be better to split off with questions for each individual category, such as media players, desktop environments, browsers, IDEs, etc. – muru Mar 15 '15 at 07:49

2We already have this kind of question but split into specific types of software. And even those get closed more often than not. – Rinzwind Mar 15 '15 at 08:08

Here is a basic list for a few categories:
- Graphics:
- Raw editor for fine tuning: Darkroom.
- Photo editors: Gimp or Krita (I prefer Gimp).
- Vector drawing: Inkscape.
- Video editing: Openshot may be a good start, if you are an advanced user, try Natron.
- 3D modeling: Blender (It has a slow learning curve, but I think that is the best)
- Office:
- LibreOffice maybe the best solution. However you can find alternatives.
- Internet:
- Web browsers: Firefox, Chromium or Midori (I prefer Firefox).
- Torrent manager: Transmission.
- Download managers: Firefox integrated DM or JDownloader (It has lots of options).
- Mail clients: Thunderbird or Evolution (I prefer Thunderbird).
- Others:
- Run Windows software on GNU/Linux: Wine.
This is a small list, but you can find really big lists on Internet. However that are my preferred applications, this is not the absolute truth.

1Kdenlive is great for video editing. I was never able to get Openshot to work reliably. – Brad Goss Jul 18 '16 at 17:04
