These 4 Linux apps deserve to be called the best of all time

Before the comments blow up on me, I’m not claiming these are the four most technically impressive Linux applications ever written. There are plenty of more ambitious or technically complex programs out there. What makes these four stand out is that they helped solve the kinds of problems almost every desktop user runs into, especially people defecting from Windows, whether that’s browsing the web, working with documents and spreadsheets, playing media, or editing images.
