Linux Software List with LINKS to 'Master' Source Sites

Home page > This Linux Software LINKS page

! NOTE !
Like most 'LINKS' pages on the web, there will, no doubt,
be more and more dead links on this page over time.
It may be years at a time before I return to this page to
remove dead links and replace some links with better links.
In the meantime, try 'WEB SEARCH' links provided on this page.

You can use the 'WEB SEARCH' links in each software-category section to find more information on that category of software. Downloading-Installing the software : By a 'master' (or 'home') site, I mean the main information site --- often the site of the author(s) of the software. At the 'master'/'home' site, you can (usually) get information on a reliable download site --- or, if necessary, download the software from the 'home' site. NOTE: Although the 'home page' of some of these software sites have a link to a 'downloads' page, it is generally best to use the 'package manager' of your Linux distro to download the software in a form that is compatible with versions of the software utility libraries that are on your distro. Alternatively, if you are using a Linux distro based on Debian-packages, you may find it helpful to use the 'snapshot.debian.org' site to download a version of the software that is compatible with your (old) distro, as described here. Using the 'home' site or a 'trusted' site (like 'snapshot.debian.org') helps reduce the likelihood of getting packages that are contaminated with sociopathic viruses, trojan horses, key-loggers, and the like. For some other web pages of Linux software lists, see the Linux Apps List page of this site. For a package of more than 450 'Nautilus/Caja scripts' that use Linux commands to provide many of the functions in the software categories of this page, see this FE Nautilus Scripts Download page at 'freedomenv.com'.

'WEB-DIRECTORY' pages on LinuxSoftware < Go to Table of Contents, above. > < Go to Top of Page, above. > It seems that 'web directories' are dying out. Google and Yahoo closed theirs down around 2014. Then around 2017, the directory from which the Google and Yahoo web-directories were spawned --- the DMOZ "Open Directory Project" closed down. It seems that it is just not feasible for a team of people to keep up with all the sites that are going dead and the new sites that appear. About a year after the dmoz.org site closed down, it appears that a new web-directory site --- curlie.org --- arose from the ashes of 'dmoz.org'. It remains to be seen how long that web-directory lasts. Following are a few links related to 'web directory' sites. Wikipedia List of Web Directories - at en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ List_of_web_directories the 'Curlie' web-directory links for Open Source Software - at curlie.org/ Computers/ Open_Source/ Software/ (See the links at the bottom of that page --- or click on categories such as "Databases" or "Development Tools" or "Editors" or "Games" or "Graphics" or "Internet" or "Music and Audio" or "Office Suites" or "Programming Languages" or "Security Tools" --- or see also "Computers: Open Source: Freeware" --- or see Google GROUPS at the bottom of the page --- and other search engines at the bottom of the page) Rather than depending on any remaining 'web-directory' links, here are some WEB SEARCHes to get you started with 'linux software' inquiries --- using keywords 'linux software', and keywords 'open source software', and keywords 'linux text editor'. Another approach to take: Go to the Wikipedia 'Category:Free_software_lists_and_comparisons' page OR the Wikipedia 'Free_and_open-source_software' page and start following links from those pages.
