Mozilla Firefox is one the most popular browsers out there that is available in all three operating systems (Windows, Linux, and Mac). Firefox contains some amazing features. Including Firefox account, extensions, themes, picture in picture mode, etc. Mozilla Firefox is fast, reliable, and a modern browser that is even better for privacy options.

Brave browser is one of the chromium-based browsers meaning that it features all the features of chrome but also more of them. Brave includes its own Ad-blocker, Brave Rewards, and many more. Brave is also one of the browsers that are fast, reliable, and modern in terms of design and UI.
3. LibreOffice
LibreOffice is one of the best open-source office suites. LibreOffice is the best Microsoft Office alternative that is open-source and very close to the MS Office. LibreOffice office suite contains applications including LibreWriter (Word processor e.g. MS Word), LibreImpress (Presentation Software e.g. MS Powerpoint), LibreCalc (Spreadsheet document e.g. MS Excel), also including LibreDraw, LibreBase, and LibreMath. In the end, LibreOffice is the best office suite as an alternative to MS Office.
4. Audacity
Audacity is a free audio editing software. Audacity is indeed one of the best audio editing software that you can get to the date for free. Audacity is available not only in Linux but also in Windows and Mac. Audacity although being free software is premium software that is stable and very powerful. Audacity features audio recording, applying filters, changing bass and treble, normalization, background noise remover, and many more audio editing features that just run perfectly.
5. GNU Image Manipulation Program
GNU Image Manipulation Program or simply known as GIMP is an image editing software or you can just say a Photoshop alternative. If you are into the adobe space, you may know that Adobe Software is very expensive and that is not what many people want. So if you don’t want to spend a huge amount of money but also want to get the work done, it is obvious that you should be using GIMP in your system. Not only in Linux, but GIMP also works on another operating system as well.
6. Shotcut
Shotcut is one of the best video editing software that works great on Linux. Shotcut has every feature that you may need from video editing software. Shotcut has a great user interface and also a whole bunch of features ranging from basic splitting, joining, to advanced editing like color correction, effects, etc. So, you should definitely check it out.
7. OBS Studio
OBS Studio is free software that allows you to record your screen with a whole bunch of effects, sources, etc, and even live stream from OBS Studio. OBS Studio is very popular among digital creators as it is indeed one of the best pieces of software. There are different use cases for OBS Studio during your workflow. Hence, it is a better idea to have it on your Linux Desktop.
8. KDE Connect
KDE Connect is actually made for the KDE desktop environment but it is even available in GNOME, Xfce, and other DEs. KDE Connect is one of the best applications for every Linux user. KDE Connect helps you to connect your smartphone to your Linux Desktop. You can call KDE Connect the Your Phone (on Windows) of Linux. With KDE Connect you can share files between your smartphone and desktop, using a smartphone as a Trackpad, Remote Input, Synced Notifications, and many more. KDE Connect integrates with your smartphone seamlessly.
9. Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is one of the best IDE that you can get at this point. You can code every programming language in Visual Studio Code. If you want to learn more about Visual Studio Code, I have an article about VS Code that you can check out. You can get mainly two versions of VS Code (Code-OSS and Visual Studio Code Git version). You can choose either of these two and you’re ready to go.
10. TOR Browser
TOR is one of the be legendary browsers out there. TOR is the browser that lets your surf the hidden web (Deep and Dark web). I’m not telling you to surf the dark web but it’s one of its features. TOR is a browser that’s based on Firefox. TOR is not the browser that is used for surfing the dark web but can be used as a privacy-focused browser that blocks trackers, and all those kinds of stuff.
