| − | '''Software Equivalents'''
| + | |
| − | for migrating from a Microsoft Windows Operating Systems to Ubuntu Linux (SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows). See also [[UbuntuHelp:WindowsApplicationsEquivalents|WindowsApplicationsEquivalents]].
| + | |
| − | '''What is the Software Equivalents List?'''
| + | |
| − | This is a list of the best open-source applications available and supported for Ubuntu for new Linux users to explore. Feel free to edit this list and add any programs that meet the criteria below. The purpose of this list is to guide new Ubuntu Linux users to quality software products that will help them accomplish tasks they are familiar with in other operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows). To learn more, read the [[FAQ FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions]].
| + | |
| − | Note that most Linux software has been developed not a clones of Windows software, but as software on its own, that provides functionality. Hence, in order to find replacement for your Windows program, you should search not only for a clone, but also for a Linux program that provides the functionality that you need, see [[UbuntuHelp:Applications|Applications]].
| + | |
| − | If you have not yet found a replacement for your Windows program, you too can switch to Linux. In the meanwhile before finding a replacement, you can use your Windows program under Linux with [[UbuntuHelp:Wine|Wine]].
| + | |
| − | '''Instructions:'''
| + | |
| − | Tell all your non-Linux friends and family about the Software Equivalents list, and the [[UbuntuHelp:ListOfOpenSourcePrograms|ListOfOpenSourcePrograms]]. On these lists they will find free, high-quality replacements for the software that they have purchased/pirated. This list will help them make a smooth and productive transition to Ubuntu Linux.
| + | |
| − | '''Rules for adding programs to the Software Equivalents list:'''
| + | |
| − | 1. Must be open-source.
| + | |
| − | 1. Must be available in an Ubuntu repository.
| + | |
| − | 1. Only include the best application for each specific purpose. In rare cases, up to three applications may be listed.

| + | |
| − | '''Why did you create a new list? There are other lists out there with similar information.'''
| + | |
| − | This list serves a specific purpose, which is listed at the top of this page. Other lists on the web have good information, but are not as focused on the Ubuntu Linux experience.
| + | |
| − | '''[ Insert Insightful Question Here ]'''
| + | |
| − | Instead of copying the excellent work of Tristan Rhodes on the [[UbuntuHelp:ListOfOpenSourcePrograms|ListOfOpenSourcePrograms]] FAQ I urge you to read the original at [[UbuntuHelp:ListOfOpenSourcePrograms|ListOfOpenSourcePrograms]].
| + | |
| − | -----
| + | |
| − | The Software Equivalents list was created by Daniel Skov Klejnstrup [[MailTo([email protected])]]. | + | |
| − | Edited and generally mucked around with by Jonathan Pruett [[MailTo([email protected])]]. | + | |
| − | Format and wording lean heavily on the excellent work of Tristan Rhodes [[MailTo(tristan NOSPAM AT witenko DOT com)]].
| + | |
| − | Credit the things you like to Daniel, blame Jonathan for any formatting errors, and direct all flames to //dev/null
| + | |
| − | == Comments ==
| + | |
| − | * Why are so many of the application you have suggested not the standard choice for Ubuntu or even Linux systems? E.g. Evolution is probably a lot closer to Outlook than Thunderbird, and is the default. Keep up the good work.
| + | |
| − | * Other pages with similar content, to be merged with this: [[UbuntuHelp:FreeSoftwareAlternatives|FreeSoftwareAlternatives]], [[UbuntuHelp:WindowsApplicationsEquivalents|WindowsApplicationsEquivalents]]
