Some Good Paid-Software for Ubuntu

[ssj6akshat]

Just Interested.Paid doesn't necessarily mean proprietary.

Is there a particular type of software you're interested in? There are many proprietary software packages for Linux, Mathematica being the first to mind. What exactly are you looking for?

Nothing Exactly.I am just interested in finding paid software for Ubuntu,be it anything.

Most commercial database vendors have Linux offerings. Applications rendering special effects for movies and tv. Applications for IC design. Applications for investment firms. Applications for wholesale and retail sales. Applications for warehouse management. Facial recognition systems... etc. etc. etc.

The list goes on and on... but perhaps this will help spur your own imagination a bit. A better question might have been what is not available as paid-software under Linux.

Found Sandbox through your sig............AWESOME!

Most of the paid-for software for Linux will be enterprise-level (IBM, Oracle, etc.) although there are some dual-licensed projects too.

From Canonical, their Landscape product is paid-for only.

I think Xara? or Maya? graphical software has a pay-for Linux version available.

I hope that more vendors would offer a version for Linux, whether paid or free, as this will only improve Linux's ability to match the other operating systems app-for-app AND it would push the FOSS due to competition!

If you want desktop/workstation apps a few examples are: Nero Linux, QCAD, IntelliJ IDEA, Crossover Games/Linux, Cedega, Dropbox, Jungledisk, etc.

As for native Linux games, just browse the forum and you'll find a bunch of them.

MatLab runs on Linux, additionally one can find joy from Fluendo's licensed codec packs and their DVD player.

Dropbox isn't fee-based.. the larger account is but like UbuntuOne they give you 2GB for free.

Never mind...

Crossover is a good one

Doom 3, but it's more like a modification of the Windows version.

It's not a modofication - id made a genuine Linux binary that uses all of the same textures, sounds, etc. as the Windows version.

Photo editing programs: Bibble and LightZone. But Top-Notch, with native linux version :D

[swoll1980]

Nero is great.

I think a good idea would be to create something similar to appstore for ubuntu. I think pushing some cash to this system would make it better.

Bibble is really astounding! I bought it a couple of months ago.
