The Best Open Source Software You Can Use

We use technology every single day to do things that we enjoy, from entertainment to browsing the internet, to working. The internet has helped us become better than we were without it, even though some people can lose themselves while using the internet. That being said, there are plenty of benefits of using the internet.

One of the first things that comes to mind are online businesses, like sportsbooks. Punters use online sportsbooks all the time, specifically making use of their promo codes and bonuses.

The programs we use are about as important as what we search for online. Specifically, open source software is really important because it is open and free. Here is the best open source software you can use.

Linux And Its Distributions

Linux is a kernel and its distributions are whole operating systems which make use of the kernel.

There are many Linux distributions to try, from Debian, Arch, Fedora, Manjaro, Gentoo if you want to suffer, and more like Pop!_OS, which has the worst spelling that an operating system could have.

Linux is great if you need an operating system, small, large, complex or simple, and it works well for almost all use cases, whether homemade workstations, gaming machines, servers, or even for embedded applications.

Blender

Blender is a great piece of software that can be used to make 2D, but more often than not, 3D animations. It is open source and comes with a great community and tons of tutorials that can help you get started. Blender is powerful though it has some quirks. However, being open source and being powerful means that anyone can get started with it and the features that it offers.

It is also a decent video editor, though it is still lacking somewhat compared to the big boys, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro.

Blender is a great tool if you want to start with animations and rendering of all kinds, so have it on your must-download list.

GIMP

The Gnu Image Manipulation Program has been here for a long time and is a great piece of software that is a solid alternative to Photoshop and Corel. It is free and you don’t have to subscribe for it, which you would have to do with Adobe products.

GIMP is really powerful, but it takes a while for a new user to get used to all the terms and quirks. Everyone who started with GIMP and was unfamiliar with the software had problems, or rather, obstacles which were not obvious to overcome at first sight.

VLC

The traffic cone, it is a great player that can do anything from stream video and audio from the internet, to being your own media player. It is one of the most popular choices for a video player, specifically because it is able to run almost any video format, without the need for you to download ANY codecs at all. 

There are the best open source programs that you can download right now, and you should!
