According to Net Market Share, a data analytics company, Linux desktop operating system usage has reached 2%. This is an unprecedented achievement for this open source operating system.

This number does not count Android as Linux. This shows that more users are flocking to traditional Linux desktops.

In retrospect, 2018 was a good year for the Linux community. Many programs that are only available on Windows and / or Mac are available on the Linux platform with no hassle. Pay homage to Snap and Flatpak technologies, which have brought many "restricted" programs to Linux users.

Today, we provide you with a famous list of Windows programs, and you don't need to look for alternatives to them, because they are already available on Linux.

1 、 Skype

It is arguably the most popular VoIP program in the world, and Skype provides excellent video and voice call quality, as well as other features such as local and international calls, landlines, instant messaging, emoticons and so on.

$sudo snap install skype-classic

2 、 Spotify

Spotify is the most popular music streaming platform. For a long time, Linux users needed scripts and tools to set up the program on their machines. Thanks to snap, installing and using Spotify is as simple as clicking a button.

$sudo snap install spotify

3 、 Minecraft

Minecraft proved to be a game of the year. What's even cooler is that it is continuously maintained. If you don't know Minecraft, it's an adventure game that allows you to use building blocks to create any virtual thing you want to create in an infinite virtual world.

9 、 Slack

This is said to be the most commonly used team communication software between developers and project managers, and Slack provides a workspace with a variety of document and message management functions that everyone seems unable to satisfy.

$sudo snap install slack-classic

10 、 Blender

Blender is one of the most popular 3D authoring programs. It is free, open source, and supports full 3D pipelines.

Is Linux perfect?

Not really. Many Windows applications of a decade ago can still be launched on modern PC. At the same time, the Linux software does not work properly after the operating system is updated every six months. It may not even work on another distribution at all. Developing for Linux can be a headache, which makes users frustrated. The new package format is expected to solve this problem, but for now, it is still a possibility in the future.

More research is needed to use Linux. Since you can't go to the local mall for support, other computer experts in your family may only know Windows, and you'll find yourself on your own. Windows is more popular, and although it's not Linux's fault, it does affect your overall experience.
