Trying to discover new/unheard Linux desktop programs (Sorry for the confusion).

Edit: I apologise for confusing a lot of people. I meant Linux desktop “programs” coming from Windows/Mac. I’m used to calling them “apps”.

Edit: 🙌 I’m overwhelmed with the great “programs” people have recommended in the comment section. Thank you guys.

    I would say apps are software run with a runtime (PortableApps, Android apps, Windows Apps) while software runs by itself.

    Another interpretation could be “little (software) tools”. I assumed with “apps” you wanted some shell tools.

        I mean, i’m a software developer too. I just sometines forget all he context.

        Hmm, thinking about it like that, the whole software stack has a similiar situation to the modern web: historical layers upon layers. Maybe we should sometime start from scratch, if the situation with vulnerabilities, reliability and brittleness becomes bad enough/gets more weigth.
