Trying to discover new/unheard Linux desktop programs (Sorry for the confusion).
Edit: I apologise for confusing a lot of people. I meant Linux desktop “programs” coming from Windows/Mac. I’m used to calling them “apps”.
Edit: 🙌 I’m overwhelmed with the great “programs” people have recommended in the comment section. Thank you guys.
They are called “programs”, not “apps”. The word “app” was created for the iPhone and originally meant a “mini” slimmed down application meant for mobile devices, not a catch-all term for any user program running on a CPU.

This is simply not true.
To add, you could have looked this up before posting a hostile comment on a relative newcomer’s post. This is how linux communities develop reputation of being exclusive & unfriendly.
Keep reading:
“Usually”
And stuff like this is why Linux communities get a bad rep lol. No one cares that the the term all only came along with the iPhone, it’s a common term now so get used to it.

@TimeSquirrel @land @MangoPenguin Microsoft - especially 365 - calls everything apps now - mostly they’re just links to a half baked web page presented in the shape of an icon. I love the irony that ‘app’ is a shortening of apple - each reference being a little plug for Apple (or anything other than Microsoft).

Sir, this is an AppleBees.
Score one (negative) for the gatekeeper!
You fail the Janus test
This. I really don’t understand the down-votes - using the correct words makes life easier for everyone, including the OP.
App and program are interchangeable terms, it doesn’t matter.
