Programs like these are the ones that make Linux the better choice for the average user:
GoldenCheetah - "Performance Software for Cyclists, Runners and Triathletes"
Power Tab Editor - a guitar tabulature editor
Spotify-Qt - a Qt-based Spotify client
Otter Browser - A browser recreating the best features of Opera 12
Aliza MS - A DICOM viewer
These are a few programs that I found while browsing through Github. What programs do you think should be better-known? Post here!
[Edit]
Rules for posting:
Please create a link to the program's webpage/Github repo/whatever, and if possible or practical, include a short description of what the program is and does.
[Edit] For those who simply want a list of software for Linux, here's a categorized TL;DR. I'll try to update this periodically.
