Which is your favourite linux application?

Which is your favourite linux appliaction and why do you use it for??

[quinnten83]

Probably Inkscape. And I use it to make little icons to brighten up things now and again.

[Paqman]

A bit boring but: Synaptic.

Package managers in general are THE killer app on the Linux desktop IMO. Windows and Mac don't even come close.

[halitech]

Apps I use the most:

Firefox - web browser :)
Deluge - torrent downloading
Devede - converting avi/mpg files to dvd
K3b - burning
GIMP - Image processing

[MatthewWaterman]

Not my favourite but google gadgets is quite cool if you are new (like me) take a look
:)

[anujpathania]

Firefox in IMHO since I use it 90% of time I am on my computer.

[stalkingwolf]

Firefox
Thunderbird
K3b
many others

Rosegarden & Muse for music composition.

[Ozor Mox]

Wow, this is a really tricky one...

Firefox is used by far the most, it's always open!
Rhythmbox for all my music.
Rosegarden for music composition.
gEdit for text editing and programming.
Synaptic for blowing away package management in other operating systems.
Battle for Wesnoth, hours of fun! :)

Emacs- The fact that I generally have at least 3 clients open to a daemon says a lot.
mpd+ncmpcpp- Best music playing combo ever.
Conkeror- Emacs style web browser for all your GUI browsing needs.
Pipes, coreutils, grep, and the like- CLI for the win.

[Ichtyandr]

Exaile for music
Evolution (ideal email program)

[racerraul]

for videos - VLC
Music - XMMS
Graphics - inkscape GIMP
Web - Firefox

[drpjkurian]

[Bungo Pony]

XMMS - hands down. Nice and simple music player to use, fast, stable, light.

Hydrogen comes in second. Best drum machine I've ever used.

Third, it's WINE. My most favorite and useful Windows apps run in it quite well.

[K.L.]

I guess it's Firefox.

[MarcusW]

Nautilus I think. :)

This is my first post in this forum although I have been trying Linux for the past few years. I have used both Ubuntu and RHEL and in my opinion Ubuntu is better because of its simplicity and user friendliness. Also, Ubuntu is best for a person who is new to Linux world and is good for learning.

Looking forward to a long association with Ubuntu.

[running_rabbit07]

Firefox
System Monitor
Screenshot
Thunderbird
Synaptic
Sun Virtual Box- for playing with Karmic
Abiword

[sourav123]

My favorite linux programs:

Gnome Terminal
Firefox
Thunderbird
OpenOffice

[gjoellee]

What would Linux be without the terminal? My favorite app is Konsole (KDE Terminal Emulator).

[jcris]

Parcellite - Great when editing html, saves time.
Zinc - I always have it open to a yahoo chat room
Tilda - Great for running zinc with that imbedded into the desktop look.
XChat - For keeping up with stuff
PokerTH - Boredom killer

I'm going to try to give programs that don't really have an comparable replacement in Windows:

1)Aptitude - The existence of a package management system is 90% of why I prefer linux to windows.

2)Compiz - Does a lot of things that Windows can't (not necessarily flashy effects, but useful things).

3)Gmusicbrowser - I'm starting to like it even better than foobar2000, although it does have a steep learning curve.

4)Conky - Now that grad school is actually starting up I don't have time to fiddle with this. However, it's cool. 'Nuff said.

Anything else I'd list (ie. FoFiX, Pidgin, Firefox, Chromium) wouldn't really be my favorite linux applications, so much as my favorite cross platform apps.

EDIT: I'll throw WINE on there because there are some windows apps that I still can't do without (Tvants for O's Games).
