Finding Applications

Ubuntu comes with many pre-installed Applications. The [[UbuntuHelp:[Adding and Removing Applications | Add/Remove...]]] tool provides an excellent way to browse some of the applications which are available.

Pre-installed

Browse alphabetically

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

Browse by repository

Repositories are the recommended way to install software in Ubuntu. Different software will be found in the different repositories.

  • Software in the Main Repository is supported by Canonical and the Ubuntu Community of users. Software installed by default is found in the Main Repository.
  • Software in the Universe Repository is supported by the Ubuntu Community of users.
  • Software in the Multiverse Repository is made available as is.
  • Software in the Partners Repository is made available by Canonical, but supported by the software authors.
Browse by menu entry

Ubuntu uses the Gnome Desktop. The Gnome Desktop places a Panel at the top of the desktop with drop down menus to the different software categories available in Ubuntu. Below you can browse the software organised after the menu structure.

  • The Applications Menu contains most of the software for general computer use
  • The Places Menu contains links to your files, search functions and network directories
  • The System Menu contains sub menus for Preferences and Administration as well as help and support options

Software Alternatives

There is also a wide range of Free Software Alternatives available for Ubuntu, with even more to come. A number of Ubuntu Community Documentation pages lists these applications that you can install:

Virtualization and Emulation

Just because you are switching to a different Operating System doesn't mean you have to give up all your old programs. You can run software from other Operating Systems inside of Ubuntu. This includes most Windows applications (and even the entire Windows OS itself).

Adding and Removing Applications

Ubuntu provides a number of very easy ways to add and remove software, the easiest of which is the Add/Remove Applications tool which can be found in the Applications menu. You can read more about managing applications in the Official Ubuntu Documentation (see the section on Adding and Removing Software) and the Software Management page.
