0 Best Free Softwares

    When you have freshly installed OS, it's essential to have some basic programs to do your everyday activities such as browsers, media player, office, etc. So, today, i'm going to show you my pick of best program that should you install after installing your OS.
All of software i pick here is 100% my opinion as i ever experience using them. In many case, it may be differs from yours. So, let's get started!

1. Internet Browser - MOZILLA FIREFOX
This is very essential software you must have, if you have windows installed it should come with default IE - which is insecure and sucks. My best pick of this category is mozilla firefox.

The reason - firefox is fast, secure, highly customisable and importantly it respect your privacy (which is claimed by mozilla).

Alternative : Google Chrome 
Google Chrome is also fast, secure, nice minimalistic look, huge html5 video support. But, i read about privacy issue - i don't think it's really matter for me, though.

2. Office Software - LibreOffice
Why don't i choose MS office? Ok, it's great but i try to do free software here. So, for this category i pick is LibreOffice. LibreOffice is good office software, it's fast, easy to use, highly compatible with MSoffice format, and it looks beautiful.

Forget to mention that it's complete office suite including word editor, spreadsheet, etc. They're the same as suite you find on basic MS Office suite, which is awesome for a free program.

Alternative : Open Office
Ok, i like open-office, it's good etc etc. But, it looks sucks, i don't like its GUI so i put it on alternative. Still, it's a good software worth trying!

3. Media Player - VLC Media Player
This orange-cone-shaped logo media player is very familiar. Free, Open Source, and very often ranked #1 in some software download site. I like VLC because it can play almost all kind of media format, also sometime it plays broken files well. Features also good though some i notice are subtitle timing setting, aspect ratio, online streaming, etc.

Undoubtedly this is the best free multi-platform media player!


4. Music Player - Clementine

Although it's sufficient having a single media player to play all kind of media including music, it's very satisfying looking at your music collection arranged nicely in some playlist. Therefore, a music player software is very important to me. My pick of music player is clementine.

Clementine is a highly featured, it has audio CD player, online radio streaming, integrated cover manager, integrated song-artist info browser which redict you to last.fm or wikipedia (no browser opened). So, that's why i pick Clementine.

Alternative : Winamp
Winamp is well-known, ancient music player. Very simplistic look, simple, and fast. Although it's no longer developed, winamp is still worth trying!

5. Image Editing Software - GIMP
I think it's an essential thing putting a image editing software in you system. It's very handy in case of editing photos, image, or even simple background removal. My pick in this category is GIMP.

Other alternative of photoshop which is paid for complete version is GIMP. It has so many features including drawing tools, layers ofc, "mask"(?), filters, etc - i don't know much about image editing actually. Some people say GIMP is complete photoshop in a free version. So, yeah, this is my pick for image editor.

Alternative : InkScape
I don't know if this works for photo editing. But InkScape is a decent vector drawing/editor, i used it for many vector projects at junior high. Still, i like gimp more for wide image editing. If you're vector editor, InkScape is a good program!
