What if we made a site which asked a few questions and then spat out the best free software for you? Choose your own adventure meets free software.

Speaking of screencasting, I recommend Kazam (only for Linux) as well.

That looks like a pretty cool program which I might look into using, but again, it's a very niche thing, so it won't be included in the list.

What do you mean it's niche? You can program music using it!

How often do people ask “I wonder if there's a free program that I can use to write code that will make music?”
How often do people ask “I wonder if there's a free program to record my screen?”

Maybe I should make my own music programming language…

Add vim and emacs to code editing.

Also, please add qTox, uTox and all the other Tox clients in a new section called “communications”.
PR please
How does public relations have to do with this?

Tox is a new protocol for chat. However, unlike Skype, its main goal is to be secure. There are a lot of clients for Tox, e.g qTox. Tox also allows for file sending, voice chat and video chat other than instant messaging.
PR = Pull Request, dude :p

Smuxi is cool. It's an IRC client. So communication.

Also, I'm too lazy to PR so yay.

I do, in fact, have my own site; it's here.
I'm also working on a thing called Fetch. Look at it here!

3) Okay
4) This is a list of the best things, remember?
5) Oops
6) wut
7) My opinion is always the correct one
8) This list is for normal people not computer geniuses
9) I got like 4 requests for 7zip so I decided to add it
10) It's worse. :3
I had no idea that existed.
Also it has different stuff.

* 2.5 because I messed something up so I had to add it in between 2 and 3 and I'm lazy

Well, it does have vector paths (which you can export as SVG, even), but they're very limited (unless later versions of GIMP have better vector editing; I use 2.6, so I don't know for sure ).

7zip is 100% necessary

lol but I like plain zips cause they're native and you don't have to download special tools to extract them (especially when you're on a school computer and can't download anything)

But what if you want super fast speeds (gz) or super good compression (rar or 7z)
