Ubuntu released the latest version Ubuntu 12.04 last week, codenamed precision pangolin. The upgrade system becomes smoother. you can install the latest free applications from the Ubuntu Software Center. Let's take a look at which useful third-party applications can be found in the Software Center to arm your Ubuntu.

Based on the daily usage frequency, we have selected the six most commonly used application categories for recommendation:

1. Text Processing: LibreOffice, Ubuntu 12.04 default Office software, as a derivative of OpenOffice.org, has made great progress. Developers have added new features, streamlined applications, and provided a better user experience. Despite these advances, Abiword cannot meet the needs of users to quickly view documents, it also provides a better user interface and a more natural look and feel.

2. image processing: GIMP, by default, is a powerful open-source image editing program with lightweight interfaces, but its functions are not inferior to professional graphics software, which is very popular among Linux enthusiasts. However, if users are looking for a simpler alternative, Pinta is a better choice for daily applications that are more intuitive and suitable for daily use. If you want to edit a vector image, Inkscape is incredibly powerful but easy to use. If you are more about 3D plotting, do not miss Blender. It supports 3D modeling, texture, animation, and many other functions.

3. Multimedia: Totem. This time, it is included in the default installation and is based on the GNOME desktop environment. The default multimedia engine is GStreamer. After installing the GStreamer package, you can play multiple video files. Some users like to use VLC, or you are used to staying in the sofa while playing the video. XMBC may be suitable for you.

4. efficiency management tool: the popular note Tomboy is no longer provided by default in Ubuntu 12.04, but it is easy for users to download and install it in the Software Center, and the system will still provide users with great options. For example, Zim also supports Wikipedia like Tomboy, but provides a more complex system. GTG, A Ubuntu Notes application with a to-do list that supports the "time management" methodology, is also outstanding.

5. Text Editor: Vim or Emacs are both excellent editors. Of course, users who do not like the public taste can also choose Scite, Leafpad, or Geany. You can also add some plug-ins for GEdit to provide the GNOME text editor function. If you just want to make a simple edit, you can try to use PyRoom. If you are working on a reduced price or reorganized text, you may want to try ReText.

6. Intrusion Detection System: Qt Creator has a clean and simple environment for developing Qt applications. It has a visual Form Designer that integrates debugging interfaces to simplify other tools developed by Qt. If you are looking for creating GTK + and GNOME applications, you may want to see MonoDevelop and Anjuta. Highly scalable Eclipse IDE is also useful for installation, especially if you are planning Java or Android development.

The Ubuntu Software Center provides thousands of applications, many of which are from the huge Debian software library. There will always be your favorite.
