Apps for Linux

A curated list of applications I use on my Linux system. These are the tools that help me work, play, and get things done.

You will find most of them in the Package Manager of your distribution. Otherwise check Flathub for them or more apps.

How to Install Software

The installation method depends on your Linux distribution. Here are the most common package managers:

Distribution Package Managers

Arch-based (Arch, Manjaro):
sudo pacman -S vlc

Debian-based (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint):
sudo apt install vlc

Fedora-based (Fedora, RHEL):
sudo dnf install vlc

openSUSE:
sudo zypper install vlc

Universal Package Managers

Flatpak (Flathub):
flatpak install flathub org.videolan.VLC

AUR (Arch User Repository):
yay -S vlc

Tip: Most apps are available through your distribution's package manager. Flatpak and AUR provide additional options when packages aren't in the official repositories.
