1. Google Chrome

2. GIMP Photo Editor

The GIMP — whose name is acronym for the ‘GNU Image Manipulation Programme’ — is a free, open-source Photoshop alternative.

Although lacking some of Adobe’s fancier flourishes, The GIMP more than matches its pricey rival in features, and in some areas even betters it!

Whether you want to quickly tweak a selfie, fix a photographic flaw, or create a majestic multi-layered masterpiece to share online, The GIMP can handle it.

3. VLC Media layer

You don’t need me to tell you what VLC is as, like Firefox, LibreOffice and The GIMP, it’s arguably one of the most famous pieces of open source software on the planet!

A versatile desktop media player that can handle almost any media format you throw at it, play DVDs, and even transcode video from one format to another, and access DLNA shares.

4. Unity tweak Tool

The swiss-army knife of the Ubuntu Unity desktop, Unity Tweak Tool lets you fine-tune and tailor the desktop to suit your tastes. Whether you want to try a trendy new GTK theme, swap icon set, adjust the size behaviour of application menus, set up hot corners, reduce the size of the Unity Launcher… The list goes on!

From advanced configuration options to common ones: if something is adjustable chances are Unity Tweak Tool has a toggle for it!

5. Caffeine (Lock Screen Inhibitor)

This app is indispensable for me. See, my password is the length of a small novella, and any time I move away from my Ubuntu machine for more than a few minutes the Ubuntu lock screen (quite rightly) kicks in.

But sometimes it kicks in while I’m in the middle of reading a length BuzzFeed article, or watching a YouTube video. In these situations I don’t want the lock-screen to interrupt me so I use caffeine.

Caffeine offers up a fast way to inhibit (block) the screensaver or lock-screen. Simply enable it when you want it, disable it when you don’t!

6. KdenLive Video Editor

Need to trim a video clip before you upload it to YouTube? Want to work on a length video podcast with neat transitions and cool effects? Then you’ll want — seriously — to use Kdenlive.

Kdenlive is a non-linear video editor that really excels at being both easy to use and reliable to use (other Linux video editors can be crash prone).

7. Franz (Messaging Client)

The days of multi-protocol instant messengers are long gone, with (mostly) proprietary mobile-first services now ruling the roost.

Want to chat on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram or another well-known messaging service on Ubuntu, without using your browser? Try Franz.

Franz lets you connect to a huge array of services, and offers some basic desktop integration.

8. Atom Text Editor

Althought not the only text editor of choice on Linux (there are many, many of ’em) Github’s Atom is by far one of the more popular.

An open source text editor, Atom enables to you customize almost every feature of it, either by hand, yourself, or by installing packages, plugins and themes created by other Atom users.

9. Steam Linux Gaming

If you plan to game at all on your Linux machine it’ll be well worth going through the huff and puff of installing Steam, the hugely/insanely/massively popular games distribution platform.

Over 3,000 Steam games are available for Linux, including big-name titles like Tomb Raider, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and Total War: WARHAMMER. There’s also a huge selection of indie gems, retro titles, and independent games worth mining around for.

10. NeoFatch (sys info tool)

Looking for a fancy way to learn what window manager, GTK theme, desktop environment, kernel and bash version  you’re running? You could click through a glut of menus to find out, or you could run one command: neofetch.
