Huh...I’ve never heard of most of them. I have my own set of cross-platform apps that does everything I need. I keep the name and URL’s of them in a text file, in case I ever have to reinstall the os, and can’t remember what all I had.

If you’re really keen on a strategy game:

It’s coming on a lot but they’ve just changed from SVN to GIT so I’m getting a bit behind on compiling the builds, but you can download recent builds from the forums.

If you ever played “UFO: Enemy Unknown” (XCOM I think it was called in the USA) you’ll recognize the gameplay immediately but this is a complete reworking of the original play.

Wow! those lucky Apple users must have most of this stuff pre-installed. Hardly any of the apps are for the Apple OS, after all. ;-)

(Sorry, couldn’t resist. Not trying to start an OS war here!)

In the summer we have outdoor movies so I have used Blender to make my pre-show dvds. Great program but darn it takes forever.
The dvd really impresses peeps though. They all want to know how I made the graphics.

Thanks....wonder how many know of Osmo?

Osmo

Osmo is a personal organizer, which includes calendar, task manager and address book modules. It aims to be easy to use and configurable to meet the user's preferences.

With Linux Mint...you can fire up the software manager....put OSMO into the search argument...and then click the install on the resulting panel.

May have to reinitiate the window managers to see it in the menus...or just do a restart of the system.

Shows up under office applications.
