In this blog one of the objectives is certainly to find the best software that is free or opensource.
Many times you have to fight with monopolies for certain certain programs that do one thing but do it best of all and often become considered one of a kind. In fact, we have learned that nothing is unique and that by looking through the open source archives, there are equivalent alternatives, similar to the original program and that work very well.
In this post we point out some archives on the internet that allow you to search, find and download for free the best programs similar to the most famous one which is sometimes paid and other times it is limited or heavy, both for Linux and for Windows.
1) Osalt is an archive site that allows you to find all the free programs that do the same things as paid and commercial ones. The site is in English but done very well and intuitively. There are the categories of software to be scrolled to facilitate the search: business, communications (social network and chat), Database, Multimedia, Development (development), Graphic applications, Internet and network, security and privacy, system utilities and so on. When selecting a program, the most popular free applications are listed, also showing its commercial counterpart.
Since not all open source versions are perfect and excellent, it is better to read the comments and opinions of those who have already tried. Certainly useful are the boxes that indicate the most searched programs and the most popular and most used alternatives that are also the ones that work best and that, 90% have already been reported on Navigaweb.net!

2) Alternative To is more beautiful as a site, at least in terms of graphics and navigability. AlternativeTo allows you to find alternative software to the most famous programs, both among the programs to be installed on the PC and for web applications. For each version it gives the possibility to do the direct download, both for Linux, Windows and Mac systems. The very simple operation allows, in addition to displaying the most popular and most downloaded by people, to search by writing the name of the program of which you want something else like it. Here too there are the judgments of the people summarized in a vote and the objective indication that the alternative is better, equal or worse than the most famous commercial version.
There are all the best and most famous programs, scrolling you can see Photoshop, Nero, Itunes, Office, Adobe Premiere, Dreamviewer, DropBox, Evernote, TeamViewer and so on. What can I say, it competes a little, basically it is almost a blog that does what you do here, but it is also right to point it out as an international resource to consult. All readers can, of course, report their appreciation of the proposed software and report new ones.
3) FileHorse is a site where you can find and download free software for Windows and Mac and with a complete list of free web applications.
