There are many possibilities you have with Linux.
The applications you can use with the majority of Linux distros are almost all free and safe to use. If you take an effort and search the web, you might be surprised by how many there is actually to work with. So one way would be to download the soft from the official distributor `s websites (it is enough to google for" Linux applications "- as simple as this).
Linux Software:
However, the simplest way to manage your software installation using a free download manager.
As I am using Xubuntu, it comes with the Ubuntu Software Center by default. This one I personally find to be a very easy and fast.
Click on the tool bar on the left-most interface corner - you will have to select Ubuntu Software Center.
In the search box, type in the application that you want to install.
Most popular ones are LibreOffice (office package, like Microsoft Office), VLC (media player), Inkscape (graphic editor).
Of course, there is much more and if interested enough, you might find an application that fits exactly your needs.
Libre Office:
Type Libre office to the search box, and the manager will give you a list of apps you might want to download. If you are not sure about what to install, you can click on the app, and then on "More info" to find out about the products properties.
Step 1: Find an app
Step 2: Find out more about the app, if you are not sure. Click on "Install" - the file will start to download. You do not need to take any other actions - once downloaded, the app will automatically show up in your menu bar in an appropriate section.
Step 3: Make sure the app is working. Always test an app after downloading to find out wether it has full functionality on your Linux distro.
As you can see, Libre Office writer has its primary functions and it is doing just fine. It has a lot in common with MS Word, so there is no need to "learn" anything on the way.
The same pattern we will follow with the other apps.
For VLC (media player):
You can download VLC media player the same way we did with Libre Office Writer.
To test it, a good idea is to download a video from YouTube.
This can be done simply by adding "ss" to the YouTube URL address:
www. SS youtube.this / ismyvideo
Choose the format you want to download it.
Then open the video with the VLC player. As you can see, it works perfectly on my PC.
Conclusion:
It is very easy to find, install and run application in Linux with the Ubuntu Software Center.
It takes only 4 steps to actually use the app.
