Re: Essential applications for desktop Linux users

I find it humorous they're recommending stacer.  Software that's last release was 6 years, has been fully abandoned by it's developer and creator, and is being removed from a lot of repos due to it's issues with newer libraries.

A lot of the lists always seem to have some older apps with issues, who knows why.
