I am a very fond supporter of free and open source software. I have been using Linux and open source software for almost five years. The experience was very satisfactory aside from it being very educational. I have saved a lot ever since I used free and open source software and turned that savings into buying new and better hardware instead. Realistically there are hundreds if not thousands of free productivity software available out there. Due to its abundance it may be hard for a new switcher to find exactly what they need. WHDb has created a list of the most used proprietary software and their free alternatives. Here is what WHDb has to say:
The following fifty proprietary programs are listed in no particular order within broad categories along with their open source alternatives. In some cases you could probably write your own book on frustrations with the proprietary programs shown here. In other cases, you’ll discover that the open source alternative isn’t quite up to snuff yet. And, in other cases still, you’ll learn that some proprietary programs are real gems, but that the open source advocate can replace those gems with equally shiny objects from the open source repertoire.
