  1. This is a selection of the more common free software applications available for GNU/Linux distributions, and is nothing like a comprehensive list. All software in the Directory runs on GNU/Linux systems.
  2. Included in the operating system.
  3. Mozilla branded programs such as Firefox and Thunderbird are not free software unless their names are changed. This is due to Mozilla's trademark policy that forbids selling copies of unmodified executables.
  4. GNU IceCat is a freedom focused fork of Mozilla Firefox ESR.
  5. Recommends nonfree software.
  6. We don't know any GUI program
