Description
Often I search for a software which bings me the funcitonality of a specific Windows (or Macintosh) program in my Ubuntu system.
Sometimes I found pearls in Ubuntus repositories I never heard before.

I'd wish to have a well cultivate list of software programs with pros and cons where I can look for if I need new software. Such a list would also be helpful for users who consider to dare to go to Ubuntu.

The list could have a section with success stories of migration to OpenSource Software.

There are many lists available on the internet. See also brainstorm #1870

Ubuntu community documentation online has a semi-official page specifically devoted to this.

See:
