I use most of them except for Chromium, virtual box, and jitsy. Just switched from ace-of-penguins to aisleriot since I only ever played solitaire from that collection.
I do understand why some people would think the inclusion of a card game is a bit strange. I've certainly never seen it mentioned before.
On the other side of the coin, it's refreshing to see a journalist be brave enough to take a broader view of what people do on their computer. Think of all the people that play Solitaire. Not just reserved for the older generation

I actually play solitaire a lot ;D and with 23 I wouldn't consider myself anywhere near an older generation ;D
I think Windows Solitaire was in the top of game charts for years
I'll try one or two things from those recommendations... thanks Mr Jerry!

GIMP does a lot, but I get confused trying to use it. I know there are supposedly good tutorials out there for GIMP, but I'm busy (lazy, perhaps) and would want a super-simple alternative that does cool stuff too. LibreOffice is definitely the best of the cool tools!

I now use 'darktable' for nearly all my post processing.

it does raws and jpegs, and has all the things that are required for PP such as cropping, exposure, tone curves, clone tool and many many more[size=78%].[/size]
It's worth spending a couple of hours watching Robert Huttons YouTube videos very simple to follow.
