Talk:List of recommended GNU/Linux software

I would like to add profile-sync-daemon to this list (it symlinks browser profiles to tmpfs/RAM and writes back occasionally) under something akin to a performance subsection. Any suggestions?

Music Players

While there are many music players, MPD is NOT one of them, it is a daemon for music player clients. So I'm thinking of making MPD and its clients in one separate category inside Music Players section, any objections? --Morpheus (talk) 02:50, 12 December 2015 (EST)

Not only for Lunix-likes

Is it worth mentioning that a lot of this software will run fine on a BSD operating system? Keboler (talk) 12:48, 19 December 2015 (EST)

You could add a note in the intro that much of this software also works on BSD. Or you could make a new page "List of recommended BSD software" and add it on Recommended_software. Then you could just copy paste software which is compatible from this page onto the new one. Ebay (talk) 21:29, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Prism Break has a list of BSD compatible software, so it shouldn't be hard to fill out a new page: https://prism-break.org/en/categories/bsd/ Ebay (talk) 21:37, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Consistency

For the sake of consistency I think we should use this format:

• Link to internal pages in the first word of the program description rather than in the program title heading. If there is no internal wiki page then use an external link to the project home page instead. It is not practical to make wiki pages for every program listed here.
• Start descriptions as a sentence, not a bullet point. Most entries already use this format. For example: "GIMP is a powerful image editor" not "GIMP - a powerful image editor".

I went ahead and did this on the Windows and GNU/Linux pages. --Ebay (talk) 22:39, 24 December 2015 (EST)
